To put a movie or image on the ground (or anything for that matter) you go into the material for that and add a Movie node for movies or an Image_Map node for images.
How you connect it depends on whether you want it lit by lights or self lit.
If lit by lights, simply connect it to Diffuse_Color. Then you also have to think about specularity. If it should not by shiny, set Specular_Value = 0. If it is supposed to be shiny then set Specular_Value to how bright, and Highlight_Size to how big - these control highlights.
If self-lit, then set Diffuse_Value = 0, Specular_Value = 0, and connect the Movie or Image_Map to either
Alternate_Diffuse, set to white
Ambient_Color, set to white, then use Ambient_Value to control the brightness.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
