Extracting Textures

(Noobanator) #1

How do you extract textures from Radiant? I want to edit some textures shaders, but don’t want to mess with the original shaders. Everywhere I search it says just go to etmain/textures and they will be there, but mine aren’t. I can add new textures folders by adding them into the textures folder.

Create a new directory in the textures-directory (for example: “textures/noobanator”).
Create a new shaderfile in the scripts-directory (for example: “scripts/noobanator.shader”)
Add this file to the “scripts/shaderlist.txt”.

A related question. How do I extract the default textures from Radiant so I can edit them in a image editing program. An example that I want is to take a door file and eliminate the desert texture surrounding it and replace it will a transperent alpha channel.

Unpack the pak0.pk3 with a zip-program.
Then take the original and copy it into your textures-directory.
Then you change the texture.

ok, thanks for answering both question.

When you installed Radiant, you may have chosen to do a custom installation in which you chose not to install all of the textures and other resources. You may want to consider reinstalling as Full, so you have everything you need.
