The Powder Toy

Replace element without changing deco?

    I have a landscape made up of various powders, and I would like to transform it into one solid mass. However, when I change the material, be it through the console or the property tool, the new material overwrites the deco of the powders, leaving me with just a solid with a sparkly powder effect.

    Well i have never ran into this problem. Programming error maybe or bug? Or maybe you're not using deco right. Try using !set type all xyz command

     The only problem here that sand effect of powders is just transparent deco , this is the reason of why it leaves a solid with "sparkly effect" .

     Not a bug or programming error , a feature

    Thanks, guess I'll have to revert to version 89 for this.
