Foundation - Modding Documentation

You can now override the materials of generated when you import a 3D model. This can be useful for example to fix texture transparency issues for model created with Blender. All materials of a model can be found in a virtual directory under your model's file.

For example, in the Example 01 mod, there is a 3D model named fountain.fbx in the directory models, and this model uses a texture named FountainColor.png.

The material can be found at the path [path to the FBX file]/Materials/[name of the texture without extension]. In Example 01, here is how to enable alpha test on a material:

buildings.lua

-- File path is "models/fountain.fbx" and texture name is "FountainColor.png"
mod:registerAssetId("models/fountain.fbx/Materials/FountainColor", "FOUNTAIN_COLOR_MATERIAL")
mod:override({
    Id = "FOUNTAIN_COLOR_MATERIAL",
    HasAlphaTest = true
