Texture problem in shell

[Marcello]

Whenever I assign a texture (with a xxx shell no prefix) to a material and an object I get an error on export. No matter which object and which material. It says a "face does not have a texture value". After deleting the texture everything exports fine again... without textures

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Edit: p.s. I did UVmap the texture.

[D'Lanor]

It looks like you did not select all faces when you UV mapped it.

[Marcello]

I think I did. If I didn't then I have some hidden faces somewhere

Edit: I just thoroughly checked the mesh I'm using and I can't find any stray vertices or faces. Took it apart bit by bit and the mesh is ok.

[Marcello]

Ok some meshes have a problem others don't. I have been counting faces, vertices and edges (both selected and not selected) and compared them to the number shown in Blenders menu bar. Turns out everything is ok. I can select all faces, all edges and all vertices by hand or with A. Still I get the error

Do the meshes with a problem have multiple materials?

[Tinuviel]

When I had this problem, I selcted all faces, unwraped them all together and then went to the Uv image editor and selected the Image. (even if I alreddy could see the image in the Uv under the unwraped mesh.) And I made sure I had the Uv button pressed in materials tab. That way I made sure that all of my faces was Uv mapped. Even the hidden ones. If some of the faces had to be mapped differently I selected them seperately afterwards and did a new map of only those.

[Marcello]

I'll try your method tomorrow Tuniviel.

Robert, no there is a single material with a single texture. I deleted the material several times to make sure there was only one and reapplied it.

[Marcello]

Tinuviel tried it now anyway.... didn't work still the same error. I deleted the texture in the material and bang.... it exports fine again.

Sigh... lost

Btw there are no hidden faces. When selecting all faces, vertices edges or whatever, Blender gives a total for each in a particular mesh at the top of the screen. The number of faces, vertices and edges is the exact number I see. And they are all textured.

Be careful, using the "A" key twice and then map a texture will mean that even the faces that for example are flush with the ground will be textured.

I learned that from making UT maps
