.mat files - can someone explain?

[DaStig]

@AshieFontaine, a .mat file is just a text-file ... so, any simple text editor will do ... notepad, notepad++, ...

How do you "regenerate" .tobj files?

[Madkine]

Edit them with a tobj editor. I use the one that comes with ETS2Studio

Is there any way to save .mat files in a specific location in blender 2.8? If there is, how can I do it?

[xXCARL1992Xx]

no, the are auto generated and placed in the automat folder

[Nimit4]

Most of the .mat files are explained over https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Docume ... ed_shaders in case anyone missed out.

[xXCARL1992Xx]

those are shaders and dont explain the .mat content at all

[ONURKULL]

@xeviax If you use same material settings (shaders,, diffuse colors etc.) for other parts in other project or same project, blender will create same .mat file every time. in short, the only way is to save the material settings

Disagree
Some modders, use same MAT file for special TOBJ's

Also, after export, it's can be found in MPD files...

Anyone have idea, how to do this?

stop using zmodeler then, because official tools are automatically created mat files with generated name depending on the content of the file, zmodeler cant do this
