Material User Type Enum
I cannot seem to figure out how to get the Material User Type Enum selection in the Material Editor to work. When I click on the drop down list, it shows nothing, like the list is empty. I've checked the enum header files and they appear to all be set up correctly and the material user type header file contains a whole list of types. They just don't show up in the Material Editor. Any ideas on what I should try?

RE: Material User Type Enum
you should have material_user_type.enum.h in your Data\Enum
check the SDK data layout
path.txt in tools should point to your data folder

RE: Material User Type Enum
Yes I have that all set up correctly. I can reference any of the material types in my code, so I know that material_user_type.enum.h is working correctly. I can add not material types and reference those in my code too. I just cannot use them in any of the Material Editors both in WE and ME.

When I click on the drop down list, it just shows a small little shadowed bit in the bottom left corner of the drop down list field. Like it is dropping down an empty list.

If it works in code it does not mean that format is correct for editor. We got same problem - each enum solo file, everythin is case-sens.[/u]

I've just tested it and it works ok.
Please let me know the:
-contents of "path.txt"
-full path for "material_user_type.enum.h" including file name
-please attach "material_user_type.enum.h" here
-does World Editor or Mesh Editor when started convert "material_user_type.enum.h" to "material_user_type.enum" ?
-does also after running those tools "material_user_type.enum.h" is listed inside generated "_enums.h" ?

RE: Material User Type Enum
OK, I found the problem.

The file should be material_user_type.enum not material_type.enum

I copied my Data folder from the SDK a long time ago when I started working on my project. I guess after some update the file name needed to change and I didn't notice. Anyway, I have changed the file name and it works now. Sorry to bother you with a trivial problem.
