Sets the Texture Editor Window to be always on top of the editor.

Filter textures by colors.

Color to filter by.

Similarity to selected color for filtering.

View the separate channels of the texture in the preview - Red / Green / Blue / Alpha.

Add Images...

Used to import textures manually, if by any reason the automatic import didn't work.

Export Textures...

Used rarely for cases of lost texture source. Please note that this exports low quality textures from the compressed DXT.

Apply

Applies all changes.

Ok

Apply and close window.

Close

Closes the window.

Add Bumpmap

Creates the new _bump texture.

Create Instance From Selected...

Allows for creating instances of diffuse textures with their own set of properties. Using multi-layered shaders (two_layers, slope, etc.) requires a lot of texture combinations (e.g. metal + rust, metal + moss, metal + sand). Texture Instancing makes this possible without any impact to content or performance.

Duplicate Instance

Delete

Removes the selected texture.

Assemble Material

Automatically connects all relative textures to one material.

Add Tags

Adds the tag for the selected texture.

Ban

• Remove Ban - removes ban label.

• Ban as Warning - sets label Warning.

• Ban as Error - sets label Error.

• Ban as Critical Error - sets label Critical Error.

• Approve Resource - sets label Approve.

• Ban as Deprecated - sets label Deprecated.

• Add Comment - adds a comment to the object.

• Find Refs in Maps Files - searches all layer files in the working folder for text that matches your search criteria in the .lua-files.

Pack Into Atlas

Combine four textures into one atlas. Used to save texture slots in the texture streamer.

Unpack Atlas

Releases texture from the Atlas.

Set Alias

Alias textures are redirectors. This is used to temporarily hide old or placeholder textures.

Remove Alias

Clears the Alias link.

Path To Source

Opens the path to the source folder.

Open in Image Editor

Opens the selected texture in the Image Editor.

Select Where Attached

Selects all the attached textures.

Reveal Source In Explorer

Opens the source file for the selected texture in the explorer.

Filter

Shows/hides the filter toolbar.

Plain Mode

Shows all objects in alphabetical order without hierarchy.

Advanced Filter

Enables the display of the advanced filter. Here, you can filter properties by category.

Checked Only

Shows only the objects checked with checkboxes.

Displays the best fit for the texture.

Zooms to the texture's actual size.

Zooms in.

Zooms out.

Changes the channel:

• red

• green

• blue

• alpha.

Approves the changes.

Reverts changes.

without bump

Show the textures with no bump assigned. This lists textures that were most likely not set up completely. Or they may be simple UI or particle textures.

is not streamable

Shows a list of textures in fixed memory.

banned texture

Shows only banned textures.

aliased texture

Shows only textures with an alias link.

diffuse

Only diffuse textures. Useful for scrolling through materials without seeing _bump and _nm.

detail diffuse

Only detail textures. Rarely used these days, mostly replaced by detail_nm textures.

cubemap HDR

Only sky textures.

diffuse terrain

Only terrain textures. Normally, there will be 5-10 per project.

bumpmap

Only _bump textures. Similar to filtering by _bump word

diffuse vector alpha

This format is no longer used.

mask

Masks are used in terrain.

normal map

Only _nm textures. Similar to filtering by _nm word.

instance

Show only texture instances.

normal map alpha

Only _nm with alpha textures.

normal map detail

Only detail_nm textures.

projection

Light projection textures. Currently, only 16 per project are allowed.

Texture Type

Allows you to choose the texture type for the selected texture in a list of textures:

• Albedo 

• Albedo + Vector Alpha

• Arbitrary 4 Channel 

• BumpMap

• Detail Normal Map

• Normal Map (High Quality)

• Normal Map + Alpha (Low Quality)

• Projection 

• Terrain Albedo.

Resolutions

• source - the size of the source texture

• compressed - the size of the compressed texture for Exodus SDK.

Alias

Link to another similar texture.

Draft

This option is set automatically on texture change and affects the speed of texture compression. You can disable this option to compress the texture in final quality, but it may be 2-3 times longer.

Override Color

Overrides the average texture color with a manually set one. This is useful for increasing reflexes strength or adjusting the hit particle colors.

Color

RGBA

Red/green/blue/alpha values of the color.

Tiling XY and Offset XY

First and second parameters used for scaling texture UVs, third and fourth are for offset UVs.

Priority

When textures are streamed, they are either replaced with small thumbnails or flat colors.

The thumbnail count is limited, so the priority affects whether the texture will get a thumbnail replacement (higher priority) or becomes a solid color (normal priority).

Streamable

Enables texture streaming.

Sets the bump file for the selected texture.

Parallax Height Multiplier

Multiplier from Displacement Height for texture mode without displacement. This often needs to be lower.

Parallax Height / Displacement Height

Height of bump in meters.

Enabled

Enables the mipmap.

SRGB

Color space of data (sRGB or linear).

Max Mip Resolution

Maximal mipmap resolution can't be higher than the compressed resolution.

Slot Count

Used for combining textures in Atlases.

Game Material

The type of game material.

Blur

Each mip gets blurred. Useful for particles with adjustable mip-offset.

Blur Factor

Strength of blur in each mip.

Allows you to detail the texture: drags masks with micro-noise to the appropriate surfaces.

Scale U

Detail of the texture tiling. 3 to 7 are normally used. To avoid visible tiling, don't use high numbers. Try using uneven numbers so repetitions won't match the main texture.

Scale V

Detail of the texture tiling.

Intensity

Detail of the texture intensity. 0.3 to 0.7 is normally used. Higher values are allowed, but they can radically change the look of the base texture.

RGB

Under default shaders, this parameter adjusts tint and can brighten or darken the diffuse. Other custom shaders use these parameters. For example, the water color of the shader puddle.

You can use this by creating additional Texture Instances.

RGB *M

Multiplied by RGB values. Use this to adjust brightness without changing the color.

RGBA

Universal values used for different shaders.

Aux 0

Additional textures used for different multi-layered shaders. two_layers use aux0 and aux1 for diffuse and nm respectively.

Aux 1

Aux 2

Aux 3

Allows you to increase alpha brightness without affecting the source files. This is useful for mipmap balancing and making textures compatible with aref decals.

Shows meaningful material separation and small scale details.

Gloss Multiplier 

Allows you to use a texture (such as diffuse) as a gloss map and adjust its intensity.

Displacement Type

• Disabled

• Parallax

• Displacement.

Parallax Height Multiplier

Multiplier for Displacement Height of the texture.

Parallax Height / Displacement Height

Height of bump in meters.

Use Toksvig Factor

A tweak to the gloss map. The gloss is lower with mipmaps in areas of high normal roughness. This is needed to compensate for smoothing of the normals with mipmaps.

Use own Source Image

Takes the gloss from the _bump source. Otherwise, it will be sourced from the selected Gloss mask.

Reflectivity mask. Not required for dielectrics.

F(0)

Reflectivity value for when the mask is not used. Default is 0.04.

Normal

Optional normal map. Note that if the normal map is missing, the engine will generate normals from bump in real-time.

Blur

Each mip gets blurred. Useful in particles with an adjustable mip-offset.

Blur Factor

Blur strength for each mip.

Bump Gloss Source

Inherits the gloss mask from the green channel of the .bump-file. This is needed, if the normal map is used as a secondary layer in shaders such as two_layers.
