Once I was retexturing a pushable block added to the sethtomb WAD. It worked ok, but the dog seemed to have parts of itīs textures from the block... I wonder if objects share the same textures sometimes, and if itīs safe to deliberately change the textures of an object without affectong other objects in the same WAD...

This usually happens when you've reached the object limit and some textures are either missing or some objects are sharing textures.

I did not reach the limits.

So itīs not safe to deliberately retexture objects (?) They share textures (?) I mean not just change the object texture with some other tile from the same set, but actually just repainting the parts pertaining to a certain object with another program. Of course all objects which use that particular tile will be changed...

Is there a way to know which textures are used by objects, like the Find Texture feature on the LE, but in Strpix?

Depending on the objects, textures are often (unfortunately) shared, and the only way I see around this is to use WADmerger to add a texture onto the end of the .WAD's texture list and then use STRpix to apply this texture to the object you want.
