Entity shader re-mapping

[Apex]

to anyone on the dev team that would know, curious, were there any changes that prevent server-side entity shader re-mapping with files from other maps already in the game? AOD's old christmas DOTF for example, with the re-mapped snow etc.

i am trying to do it at the moment, i've done it successfully in the past, but now the re-mapping only seems to work if i re-map using textures from the map i'm trying to edit. i've tried on 2 different maps with the same result. if i try and change the texture with one from a different map in the game (like i used to be able to do), it doesn't work, re-mapping one texture with a different one from the map i'm editing, it works.

wasn't sure if there was some kind of change made intentionally to prevent shader re-mapping so thought i would ask

To my knowledge nothing was done that would prevent you from doing this.

weird. do you possibly have any knowledge as to why this might be happening? quick example, trying to re-map some textures at the moment on mb2_duel_jeditemple and mb2_enclave, attempting to re-map several different floor textures on each. i've tried different textures from other maps, the textures show up black when i test. re-mapping using a texture from the folder path of the original, it works. i've managed to change the skybox using a sky from a different map, i've placed models and NPCs as well

haven't done this for a few years and i didn't do it much to begin with so it's been a struggle getting back into, one problem after another so far but i've pretty much got all the basics back down in order to do everything i want. this seems to be the last problem in my way

I do remember getting that problem on Republic Cruiser when I was still making it. Sadly I have forgotten what exactly I did to fix it since it was over like 7 years ago. If I remember though I'll let you know.
