Alright so the latest update completely destroyed half of my mods, mostly due to their texture paths not working anymore. I've been trying to fix them, but so far I had no success whatsoever. My self-created mods with wonky texture paths are working fine however and I really don't get what the difference is.

Usually I just put in the texture path like this:

Code: [Select]

    <graphicData>
      <texPath>CoffeePlant</texPath>
<graphicClass>Graphic_Single</graphicClass>
    </graphicData>And the file is directly inside the Textures folder. But even some files which are in deeper folders work fine, yet in other mods they don't. No matter what I tried they don't work and I don't get it.

This could be happening for a couple of reasons depending on the texture. For starters you should probably use more than one folder for storing and referencing textures. It is always worth having a Things folder inside your textures folder as this is the norm for RimWorld and possibly could cause problems; if you look at how Silver references it's textures for example:

Code: [Select]

<texPath>Things/Item/Resource/Silver</texPath> you'll see that it goes through several different folders before it arrives at its own - I'm not saying that you need as many folders as silver but it'll be worth at least getting a Things folder.

Now if we look at some more specific examples for why certain textures may not be working then we encounter a couple of possibilities:

• If you have textures which have multiple sides you'll need to rename them from the B18: front, side and back to the new 1.0: north, east and south.
• If you are using textures with multiple sides make sure to have graphicClass set from Single to Multi
• If you have an object which uses several different textures, such as ones with _a _b after their name or, as mentioned above, textures with multiple sides, for whatever reason make sure they are all inside a single folder named after the texture itself.

If you try all of this and a problem still persists could you please give slightly more detail towards which textures are breaking and what the error log says. - PleccyMM

Most of the errors were actually caused by other mods not working and them somehow messing up the textures of the other mods.

Still it doesn't mean I don't generally have trouble with texture paths. What I think I figured out is that the texture path is usually the folder, but in case of Graphic_Single it seems to be the file itself. So Graphic_Random (usually plants) and Graphic_Multi use folders like

Code: [Select]

/Things/Folder(s)/FolderContainingPNGs while for Graphic_Single it's

Code: [Select]

/Things/Folder(s)/FolderContainingPNG/File(without extension).
