Hey there,

i have a texture-problem. I made an own text-block with the texture "ArenaFloor". In the game it looks so:
Please help!

Thanks,

Please stop posting this kind of questions in the normal TrackMania forum, because there is a special subforum for custom creation

Besides this, I recommend you to search for similar questions and tutorials (there are also some in Youtube) before asking questions which have been answered before certainly!

Anyway the answer : ArenaFloor can't be use in vertical. For some other textures (Cliff for ex) it's the opposite.

Okay, thanks. I will try it.

Hi,

now i'm in the right forum^^ Here I write my questions about the Block-Creation:

1. I wnt to create a block with the texture ArenaFloor. In the result i only see the horizontal texture in a high resolution, the vertikal texture is distorted. How to get the site of the block a other texture?

That was it for now^^

Thanks for your help

You were in the right forum, yes, but why didn't you continue the already existing topic with the same question !?
merged.

As already written above by meuh:
you can use ArenaFloor only on horizontal surfaces!
For vertical or other not horizontal surfaces, you have to use another material.
E.g. some "wall" texture.

Besides this, you have to check your texture coordinates (called UV mapping).
Here please look into the nice Youtube texturing tutorials!

Create 2nd material in Blender then assign it to the vertical faces. Adapt your xml files.
How to do that?
Watch some Blender tutorials and read the maniaplanet documentation. Try things.
All this information is available you just have to search for it. You have to do some learning and trying yourself.

Exactly

Only then you know what to do, and only then you can write yourself some nice, understandable and correct tutorials

Okay.. I will search help
