Texture is further down the class tree in UT2003 than in previous versions of the engine – see Texture (UT) for those.

Properties

Texture

Material Detail

Detail material to apply.

float DetailScale

Scales the detail material.

ELODSet LODSet

A level of detail set this texture is associated with.

int NormalLOD

Palette Palette

The texture's palette. Only used if the texture actually is an 8 bit palettized texture.

Animation

Texture AnimNext

Next texture in an animated texture sequence.

float MaxFrameRate

float MinFrameRate

Frame rate for animated textures. These two properties specify the range of possible frame rates the engine can choose from; it attempts to automatically select an animation frame rate to minimize aliasing artefacts which lead to the effect of a texture animation not looking smooth. (If you want to enforce a particular frame rate, set both properties to the same value.) If set to zero, the animation is played with the user's game frame rate.

byte PrimeCount

Number of frames that are pre-rendered before the texture is displayed the first time; that's useful for dynamic textures that need to "build up" at startup (FireTextures, for instance).

Quality

bool bHighColorQuality (private)

High color quality hint.

bool bHighTextureQuality (private)

High texture quality hint.

Surface

bool bAlphaTexture

Set this if your texture has a specific alpha channel, to allow that channel to be used for transparency

bool bMasked

Set this if your texture is a Masked texture (8-bit, one palette channel set for Mask)

bool bTwoSided

Set this for a Two-Sided texture (is there an explanation somewhere what this means?)

Texture

UClampMode

Controls whether texture softening should go wrap around the textures horizontal edges

VClampMode

Same for vertical

That leaves us the question: What are UClamp and VClamp? Maybe they're there so that if you stretch the texture, you can set the size it's softened as?

Or maybe... this is more likely... if you have a texture with multiple images, like GUI Icons or particles, you can set the edge size of each individual image. That way the images don't bleed on each other.

One thing U/V Clamp modes are really useful for is preventing wrapping, such as with projected textures, and I think that's nice to be able to turn on/off (like when #exec importing textures into a package for use as decals and such, eg UCLAMPMODE=CLAMP VCLAMPMODE=CLAMP in #exec statements and MyTextureName.UCLAMPMODE=TC_CLAMP in script).

Hidden

__LastUpdateTime[2] (const, transient)

float Accumulator

Texture AnimCurrent (transient)

bool bHasComp (const, editconst, private)

!!OLDVER Whether a compressed version exists.

bool bParametric (private)

Texture data need not be stored.

bool bRealtime (private)

Texture changes in realtime.

bool bRealtimeChanged (private, transient)

Changed since last render.

ETextureFormat CompFormat (const, editconst)

!!OLDVER

int InternalTime[2] (const)

color MaxColor (const)

int MaxLOD (transient)

int MinLOD

array<int> Mips (private, native, const)

color MipZero (const)

byte PrimeCurrent (transient)

byte PS2FirstMip

byte PS2NumMips

These "PS2" bytes were crammed into UTexture's alignment padding, but weren't mentioned here. DO NOT USE THESE IN UNREALSCRIPT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING! (I guess.) –ryan.

pointer RenderInterface (const, transient)

Deprecated Properties

Texture DetailTexture

Detail texture to apply.

Texture EnvironmentMap

Environment map for this texture

EEnvMapTransformType EnvMapTransformType

float Specular

Specular lighting coefficient.

Enums

EEnvMapTransformType

EMTT_ViewSpace

EMTT_WorldSpace

EMTT_LightSpace

ELODSet

LODSET_None

LODSET_World

LODSET_PlayerSkin

LODSET_WeaponSkin

LODSET_Terrain

LODSET_Interface

Appears to remove low LOD mips, as the interface will always be high detail

LODSET_RenderMap

LODSET_Lightmap
