Try this:
Select a tile in the texture panel, best if size is 128x128 or larger. There is a yellow and red triangle. Drag in a circular motion on the selected texture tile. You'll see the red triangle, which indicates the part of the texture that will be applied to a triangular room sector, is opposite the cursor position.

BTW, in the original room editor and NGLE you're able to click on a corner of a texture tile and it will select that corner. In TE you have to either use the ~ shortcut or drag in a circular motion.

It's a little bit unfortunate right now but it works. In a future release you will be able to add additional level textures which can then be used eg for imported geometry.
Not quite sure what you mean by using the same level texture to texture imported geometry? Do you mean if I use the same TGA file and same UV coordinates of an animated texture? I've tried applying an animated texture to a room sector, exporting and reimporting the room and it didn't animate on the imported room geometry.

I wasn't able to select a MQO file as the dialog doesn't give an option to show all files and I wasn't able to drag-and-drop to the imported geometry list either, but good to know it's already fixed.

I've since discovered that you actually can export all rooms already, but only from the 2D screen by selecting all rooms and right clicking. I've also noticed that the vertex colours on the exported rooms are not being smoothed between rooms. Is that something that will be done now that vertex colours are supported?

Alright . . . this is going to be an incredibly basic question, but forgive me. I've been absent from TRLE for nearly a decade, but Tomb Editor was too exciting not to have a go.



How do I get the water and the leaves textures to show up with the currently black part as transparent? I can't seem to find a place to check a "transparent" box. They *appear* transparent in AgentXP's HQ India tga set, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get them to be transparent in Tomb Editor or in-game. Last time I did anything like this, transparent textures were magenta!

I searched the thread and didn't find the answer . . . maybe because the answer is so obvious?

The two last greyed buttons in the toolbar on your screenshots are respectively Additive Blending (transparency) and Double Sided. That's what you're looking for: toggle them on and texture.

Thank you! I had no idea what additive blending meant, thanks for your patience.

It's so cool to be able to create octagonal buildings!



If I understood the videos correctly, these triangles between rooms, above diagonal walls, cannot be made doorways right?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but triangles on doors are handled automatically in TombEditor, unlike TRLE where you need to mark them with no-collision. If you want the opposite (for the triangles to be solid) use the Force Solid Floor (FSF) button next to the 2D map (while having the desired sector selected).

He meant triangles with diagonal walls above or below, that are solid no matter what. But if I remember correctly this is fixed in the upcoming version right?

Oh I didn't notice the diagonal walls Since you have triangulated slopes on the upper side of the sector you can try toying with the Force Solid Floor option and see if it makes a difference.

Ok, I’ll try, although what I’m hoping for is *not* for them to be solid. Ideally Lara would slide off the roof, should she make it up there, rather than get caught on the invisible triangles above the diagonal wall.

It's a toggle option, you can try toggling it on and off for the given sector and see if it makes any difference. I believe it does not at this point...
