The shader is using texture8(starts at texture0)... well technically its remarked out. I am wondering if we have received an upgrade from 8 images or was this just an oversight?

Its prob just a typo

by default AppGameKit uses from 0 to 7, 8 texture slots in total but there is a work around for texturing an object for example
with up to 256 textures, puzzler achieved this with the use of memblocks I believe but it wont work for shaders.

There's a work around for texturing up to 256 textures? You mean using an atlas, because there's no method is a shader. You use any memblock to set the UV coords for a triangle but that's not the same as setting multiple textures.

That's correct too. Image atlas to apply all the textures we require to one whole image and use uvs to assign to each texture on it

The way I remember doing it on meshmemblick was making use of neshindex and apply an image to the mesh index.

Using setobjectmeshomage comnand

I'll review this again soon when Minecraft gets nearer there cause not sure if it works like expected to be Frank

You don't need to do this, especially in the Minecraft example. You just set the UV coords to locations in an image with multiple textures, you don't need multiple meshes. Still won't work with a shader though.

No no Minecraft will be done on a texture atlas. Will create a better texture generator to join different cubes types when I'm ready for that part.
