Hi, I have a question. You know how sometimes you get those props that when you load it. It will pop up with a thing saying "Could not Find Files" Thing about it, is that it don't tell you WHERE it's looking, only that its not finding where ever in the world it is looking. Is there any way to find out where its looking so I can move those textures into that path so that it dont pop up with error anymore?

    You can open the file in a text editor and search for ".jpg" to see where it's looking. If it's a compressed .duf you can uncompress with any tool that uncompresses .zip files (there's one built into DS).

    Usually the easiest way is to open the load file (cr2, pp2, etc) and find the place it is looking for there...but it is often best to EDIT that line instead of moving the textures to where that line indicates. Because more often than not, you will NOT have that path on your hard drive...it is a 'absolute' path and includes the creator's specific file path/user folder/etc...usually just chopping everything before 'Runtime' in the texture lines is enough to fix it.

    Notepad or any text editor. Notepad++ is a great one for Windows systems.
