Objects - using the texture

Could someone explain to me how to deal with texture and its coordinates? I'm trying to make an object (.csv file). I want to fill a rectangular surface (say 3m X 3m, coord.: (0,0,0), (-3,0,0), (-3,0,3), (0,0,3)) with a texture 32b X 32b in size in file texture.bmp. How to use SetTextureCoordinates in this case?

SetTextureCoordinates 0,31,31
SetTextureCoordinates 1,0,31
SetTextureCoordinates 2,0,0
SetTextureCoordinates 3,0,31

You are totally wrong, Quork!

Liquid, if you are starting the AddFace with TOP LEFT corner, it goes like this:

SetTextureCoordinates 0,0,0
SetTextureCoordinates 1,1,0
SetTextureCoordinates 2,1,1
SetTextureCoordinates 3,0,1

Let me explain
1st parameter refers to the actual vertex (their indexes start at 0) -> SetTextureCoordinates 0
2nd parameter refers to height of the texture, which is taken from top to bottom of the picture. In the upper left corner of the object you need upper left of the texture. Hence SetTextureCoordinates 0,0
3rd parameter refers to width of the texture, which is taken from left to right. So, in the upper left corner of the object you need upper left of the texture. Hence SetTextureCoordinates 0,0,0

Should you need more detailed explanation, do no hesitate to ask.

Uh yes, sorry. Mixed it up with another format (not BVE). That's what happens when you answer a seemingly simple question while thinking about elsething...

Thanks, that worked. As I suppose, if I give numbers greater than 1 ( say 4) as coordinates X and Y this will mean texture will be stretched so that it'll fit 4 times in each of the dimentions of the polygon. Am I right?

Exactly.:-)

Yea I know, it happens.:-) Sorry fot the caps, I was not screaming, I just need to have it switched on at work.
