The UI on the PT submit page lists "\parts\s\textures" as the subpart texture file path

However the !TEXMAP spec states "a search for the specified texture file will first be attempted after adding a "textures\" prefix to the filename". By my reading this means subpart textures files should be in "parts\textures\s".

Really? I am sure I based the Parts Tracker implementation on an example, but to my mind adding a prefix to the filename (not the filepath), gives:
  • A texmap for parts/1234.dat in parts/textures/1234.png.
  • A texmap for parts/s/1234s01.dat in parts/s/textures/1234s01.png.
  • A texmap for p/logo.dat in p/textures/logo.png.
I think it is more logical that the texture .png file is in a subfolder of its parent .dat file. But if what you describe is how tools have interpreted the spec then I'll change the Parts Tracker.
