DynamicTextureMap (as far as I understand- I'm not a dev and don't really know much about this kinda stuff) is pretty much what it sounds like: a Dynamic Texture Map. It can be used to change the images used for a texture on the fly- an example of DynamicTextureMap being used is the imagers, which constantly change images. What everyone is suggesting is that a Dynamic Image is assigned to the book texture, so that anyone will be able to see the changes without digging into their Uru install and changing it manually. I think.

EDIT: um. whoops- this thread is a little old, my bad.

Sorry, I missed this topic before. Yes, I made Drizzle make a simple default DynamicTextMap and replace the refs to the original texture with it. So it would be possible to have a separate DynamicTextMap for each cover and just use the existing UV coordinates.

Is that what you already did for the linking book GUI popup, or did you already do something new for the Relto books?

I did something else for the book gui popup, but this is what I did for the nexus. I forgot to mention, one would also need a ref to that dynamictextmap in a customised python file, so you need a pythonfilemod too.
