Apply Texture in Editor

[TroyT 83]

Is it possible to apply a custom texture to vehicles from within the editor?  I want to do a "photo shoot" showcasing the custom vehicle textures on our server and it would be soooo much easier to do it in the editor.

You sure can!  You can put the script which points to the code that loads that image.  The code would go in the 'init' field of the object you wish to change.

WHAT this code is, I do not have a clue.  BUT it CAN be done this way!

Put said code and image into your mission.pbo folders, and you should be set!

Thanks.  That's encouraging, but now I have to sort out the code, which I, too, have no clue on.

hahaha...dig around, there are examples of it.  Such as the vehicle painting mod.  It uses code to replace textures.
