An image or graphic which can be applied to a surface.

Textures are skinframes

In darkplaces, each map texture is represented by skinframe - a set of images containing base texture and additional textures prefixed with special works and used to store additional information:

  • _norm - normalmap texture for per pixel lighting (alpha stores heightmap for parallax mapping)
  • _gloss - specular texture for per pixel lighting, can be in color (alpha stores gloss exponent)
  • _glow - fullbrights or other glowing overlay stuff (this is done using additive blend, not alpha)
  • _pants - pants overlay for colormapping on models, should be shades of grey (it is tinted by pants color) and black wherever the base texture is not black, as this is an additive blend
  • _shirt - same idea as pants, but for shirt color

Sample:

textures/inn/table.tga - base texture
textures/inn/table_norm.tga - normalmap
textures/inn/table_gloss.tga - gloss

Skinframe is not a skin.
