Ah, oke, my thought process was, that he will use only one object. :)
That's not the issue, the issue is that they requested it to have 6 reskinnable sides. i.e multiple file names within the txt16 folder and he can pick at will inside dromed. But as you know you're stuck with whatever file name you gave skinning the object/BIN file, therefore not reskinnable. You can have any image but it has to be called what you named it during skinning. Dromed does support a special texture you can replace at will inside the properties but it only goes up to 4 not 6.

I understand that. It is not reskinnable inside of dromed, but outside of dromed it is.
The custom textures must be moved in the txt16 folder anyway, so you can easily rename them.
It's a little fiddely (hope that is a word) to get the textures on the correct side of the cube, would
be much easier in dromed, but I numbered the dummy textures, so you can see in dromed which
number is on which side with its rotation.
So, it's just a little bit of Gimp work.
If you want an object with 6 reskinnable sides inside of dromed, that's not possible, but you can
make an object with 6 textures, that are exchangeable.
Or do I understand something totally wrong ?

No you are right, but that's not what they wanted apparently. They wanted to have a cube be many different things under one texture folder. So you can have multiple instances of the cube repurposed with different texture names. If I'm wrong, then yeah they can just get your cube and make their own skin.

One thing is for sure. You now have a cube with 6 textures. Even though nobody will ever use it .... you're welcome. :D

Got another request :angel:
"Seasonal" talismans. Like the talismans of earth/fire/water/air, except with a snowflake, a turned leaf, a flower and a sun.
I have the technical capacity to make them myself, but lack the artistic ability to make them look halfway decent. Could anybody help me out? Thanks in advance!

I made the high res versions of the originals in the EP, so I can give these a go if no one else more talented comes along and volunteers (which is perfectly fine). Are you ok if they use the same model as the original talismans?
trefoilknot on 11/5/2018 at 05:02
Thanks, Russ! Yes, original model sounds great; perhaps even preferable!
Yandros on 11/5/2018 at 10:29
Awesome, I'll get started on these today. They should still be ancient/precursor in terms of art style, right?
trefoilknot on 11/5/2018 at 11:43
Yes please, thank you kindly!

I have a request: an electric light that predates those in Thief releases. It would resemble the device as interpreted from Egyptian hieroglyphics. Google "Egyptian electricity" and view the photos of electric bulb recreations.
