Couldn't read PCX

It seems that I am also getting the error message…

************ ERROR ************
LoadPCX: Couldn’t read reactor.pcx

I have been seaching through the other posts (for about and hour and a half), but none seem to give an answer to my problem.

The files are located in the following directories…
C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory Developer\etmain\reactor.pcx
C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory Developer\etmain\scripts\reactor.shader

(Note: “Wolfenstien - Enemy Territory Developer” was a second install of the program purely for map development purposes, as a work around for a compiling problem that I found on these forums)

Program Versions:
GTKRadiant 1.3.8-ET
EasyGen 1.42 (with the template_wolfet installed)
XP Home (just to cover my OS base)

Here is the values for the terrain…
// entity 90
{
“alphamap” “reactor.pcx”
“shader” “reactor/terrain”
“layers” “2”
“terrain” “1”
“classname” “func_group”

Here is my world spawn info…
// entity 0
{
“vertexremapshader2” “textures/reactor/terrain_0to1;textures/reactor/terrain.vertex”
“vertexremapshader1” “textures/reactor/terrain_1;textures/reactor/terrain.vertex”
“vertexremapshader0” “textures/reactor/terrain_0;textures/reactor/terrain.vertex”
“mapcoordsmaxs” “1152 -3072”
“mapcoordsmins” “-1088 1088”
“classname” “worldspawn”
“vertexremapshader3” “textures/reactor/terrain_0;textures/%METASHADER_NAME%_base”
“vertexremapshader4” “textures/reactor/terrain_1;textures/%METASHADER_NAME%_base”
“vertexremapshader5” “textures/reactor/terrain_0to1;textures/%METASHADER_NAME%_base”

So all in all from what I can see, I do have the .pcx and .shader files in the proper directories. I have gone through both Tram’s and the tutorial included with the EasyGen install (written by Hubas), so I would think that things should work… but they don’t. So any help that you could throw my way would be very much appreachieated.

make sure that when radiant was installed it pointed at your mapping ET directory and not at your other one.(the paths are set during install). Just reinstall it to make sure.
Also remove all your vertexremapshader keys from your worldspawn as they’re useless

I tried to reinstall, but the problem still persists.

Any other ideas?
