    I lost industrial material ind_bid_2_concrete


    How do i get it back? I had a stadium built and i was trying to change the color of something. Game crashed and all my roads that were calling for that now say no material, but still calling for that.

    You mean 'NO TEXTURE'? That happens when the game is not able to find the texture file specified in the materials.cs file.
    Find the materials.cs that contains that 'ind_bid_2_concrete' material (in your level's folder), and adjust/check it manually.
    Start the game, and if you fixed it properly, it should work fine.

    Yes, check it.
    Open the 'materials.cs' that contains that material with a text-editor, and see if the textures paths are correct.

    it no longer shows up as a selection tho,

    it isnt in the material.cs as i had to change it because of no texture. i cant put it back because it is no longer in the materials to select,

    Eh, it doesn't show up in the material editor? (Your screenshot above says otherwise)
    If that happens, it means that the object you select does not use that material (it only shows the materials that object uses / has)

    It's pretty confusing.
    What is no longer here? The material? The texture? (And 'here' where exactly?)
    Screenshot of what you see now please?

    That's better.
    The material is gone from the material selector.

    Go find, in your level's folder, the materials.cs file that contains the 'ind_bid_2_concrete' you are wanting.
    Once you find it, check if the materialTag is correct (that's what decides where the material shows in the selector.

    (In that screenshot above, my 'sr_white' material shows up in the 'RoadAndPath' group in the material selector)


    For the crash, that happens currently if the material you are trying to use has 'No Texture' (means the game did not find the texture file specified in the materials.cs, which is bad).
    You should fix that material manually, by finding the materials.cs that contains it and fixing the path so that it indicates the correct file in order to avoid a crash.

    (If that path is wrong, I get 'No Texture' which is bad)

    i had to open terrain editor in gridmap to get a material file to open in levels. i copied the the whole concrete material line into my maps material. it now works, should i make the line to find it to my map or keep it as gridmap since if i release this map, everyone has it.
