09:32 BurnRubr: rv remap ?
09:32 triple6s: yes
09:32 BurnRubr: what you want to know-- rare chance i might know the answer but i doubt it
09:34 triple6s: i know you can asign a a texture to a bitmap A - J was wondering if a person can asiging it to something more specfic
09:34 BurnRubr: like what
09:35 BurnRubr: when you map the instance model you can map to any part of the bmp
09:35 triple6s: like the sun in original levels
09:35 triple6s: it is on its own bitmap
09:35 BurnRubr: yes you can change the prm of the original models
09:36 triple6s: it would make texturing unlimited
09:36 BurnRubr: but you are limited to the A -J bitmap limit of the revolt game
09:36 triple6s: and you still have the original bitmaps
09:36 triple6s: i see
09:36 triple6s: that is what i was wondering
09:37 BurnRubr: the only thing would be to map your models to a part of a original bmp
09:37 BurnRubr: if you got too many textures and need to cut back
09:38 BurnRubr: but a total of 10 bmps is alot to work with anyway
09:38 BurnRubr: as you can have lots of different models textured to the 1 bmp
09:38 BurnRubr: therefor giving lots of models to chose from and still only use 10 bmps
11:38 ali: Just to step in before I go: You *can* remap the instance to other parts of a .bmp file.
11:39 scloink: ok cool I havn't messed with remap yet
11:39 ali: Uh. rv-remap doesn't do it, rvtexmap does.
11:39 scloink: oh ok
