A material is a .mat text file that defines a two-dimensional surface. It contains all of the information needed for HPL3 to simulate the surface visually, aurally, and physically.
The main attributes of a material are:

HPL3 Material are created and edited using the Material Editor.

Finding Materials

.mat files can be found in several locations:

  • Inside a sub-folder under the /textures folder of the game.
  • Inside a sub-folder under the /static_objects folder of the game.
  • Inside a sub folder under the /entities folder of the game.
