hey, i accidently deleted a .pk3 file with a texture in it that i am using for my map. Thats I went into the console in radiant and it says this for the texture:
WARNING: Activate shader failed for textures/bounce/ll_concrete_sand
so i dont know how to find the name of the .pk3 file it was in. I have a second copy of et where it can run the texture in game, but i dont know which .pk3 it is in. anyone know how to find out?

btw i have no .pk3’s named bounce…

The texture “ll_concrete_sand.jpg” is in Marko’s “beta2_mlb_bayraid.pk3” file - although it is not in the “bounce” folder.

It is also in “de_dusted2b1.pk3”

Good luck.

Windows ------> Windows Explorer

Select your ET folder -------> press F3 (search)

In the “Named” box type in = *.pk3

In the “Containing Text” box type in = ll_concrete_sand

Click on “Find Now”

It may take a while if you have a lot of addon maps.

If you are using Linux I don’t have a clue.

Make sure you are using Windows Explorer and not Internet Explorer. :slight_smile:

Also make sure you are in your in your ET main folder and you have “Include Subfolders” checked as well.

I am running 98SE, XP should be the same.

sh -c ‘for x in ~/.etwolf/etmain/*.pk3 ; do unzip -l $x | awk -v n=${x} “/ll_concrete_sand.jpg/ {print n}” ; done’
