right i really really wanna get into this mappin stuff, i usually pick this type of stuff up pretty quick, ie editing code after using a graphical interface, anyway.

i have gone through some very good tutorials and have easygen and radiant, but i cant for the life of me get a texture to apply on either,

well i was looking at this tutorial for radiant, and it says drag a box, then they say it should come on with, a no texture pattern on it, but it doesnt, it stays as a wire frame :frowning:

i dont get it, im sure its something really obvious, so could one of you nice chappies tell me what it is :drink:

ok the previous post might make me seem like a dick :banana:

so best thing I could recomend is use the help tab and open up the manual and follow the directions Installation & Set Up

it explaned pretty well how to set up the path’s for each game and or mod’s.

good luck. :drink:

Yeah, reading the manuel is always a good start, however,
to apply a texture in Radiant, simply click “textures” in the menu bar,
and select a shader group (the list under "shaderlist.txt only), then the
textures for that shader will appear in the texture window.

Select the brush (or brush face with SHIFT + CRTL click) and then click
the texture you wish to apply :slight_smile:

I don’t think that’s the problem he’s having;

it sounds like he has it set to display

wireframe in 3d .

that’s textured render quality ,

that would be a checked preference ,
if you know how to check or uncheck it go to texture’s and click on an appropriate method for rendering on your system…

it gets complicated figuring out the best rendering for your systems performance and it’s explained in installation & setup.

thanks fo rthe help guys, my problem was that the layout i have only had the 4 windows, and none of them were textures, when you select the texture group you want, you must select the texture to apply from the window? well that didnt appear on mine,

my new problem is after i have saved the 1dt tutorial room,

it says cannot find map maps/test1.*** cant remember what ext is :banghead:

any idea what im talking about :slight_smile:
