Missing Texture

(|V!O|Jezza) #1

Hi. I’ve recently started mapping ET, after a few months of Quake 2 mapping.
Really sorry if this is a common problem and i didn’t realise, but:
I created a textures directory in etmain, then made a subdirectory and put in there a targa texture i made in the gimp.
I textured a face of a brush with this texture in gtk, and it appeared fine in the preview. but then i compiled the map, and run it, and the brush had one of those textures it displays when the texture is missing. please help

Mostly textures are in .jpg format some are necessary in .tga,
then you need to make a .shader file,

textures/mapname/texturename
{
qer_editorimage textures/mapname/texturename.jpg
implicitMap textures/mapname/texturename.jpg
surfaceparm nodamage
}

Copy this into your wordpad, and change /mapname/texturename, save it as .shader put the file into
etmain/scripts/yourfile, you should be ok now.

Ok. thanks.
What does “image not power of 2 scaled” mean?
does it have to be like 128*512?

Yep, any combination you to the power of 2.

So 128x256
or 512x512
but also 64x512
