CTF map rotation with Mirix: texture problem [solved]

[dichtfux]

I'm using Mirix v 2.0 to rotate a CTF map I'm working on and it does a great job with brushes, start positons and all the other things - except the textures.

I've added textures to the substituion list (both via the menu/gui and by editing the 'textures.txt'-file in the mirix directory), but it does not swap them.

It claims it would in the logfile, but it doesn't. The readme does not list this feature as incomplete/todo/broken, so I assume that it should work.

I've added the textures relative to the 'baseq3/textures/' directory (the way all other examples in there are), examples:

Code: Select all

sfx2/blue_jumpad05	sfx2/red_jumpad05
sfx2/blue_jumpad2	sfx2/red_jumpad2
spirit3ctfduel1_ctf/c_bluelines	spirit3ctfduel1_ctf/c_redlines

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

If it rotates/flips the textures properly, and just doesn't switch them properly, it seems like it would be a relatively easy workaround to just copy the new half into a separate map file, use find/replace to manually fix it, and then drop it back into the main map?

Kind of a pain, but if you can't figure out the problem with Mirix...

Hm, that really sounds like a pain.

Anyone ever got this working? Or is there anyother program you could suggest that does what I need?

you could try quark, but it'd probably bork all the texture positioning - pjw's suggestion is the easiest option.

It mysteriously started working. Don't ask me why.
