specific textures unavailabe

(-xXx-Shifty) #1

alright, i’ve been searching through forums for a day and a half now and still have no answer to my problem… i just uninstalled and reinstalled gtkradiant and ET (made a seperate ET for mapping as well) so i could get rid of all the texture problems i was having (textures showing up as orange and black grid) and start fresh. the first thing i did was get into radiant and take up my map where i left off, i found a texture that was in the directory and put it up on some walls and, again, the texture shows up as an orange and black grid when i go into the map… i really just need a little help with how to fix this so i actually know what textures i can use and are available to me, i dont want to have to guess and fail anymore.

if you can help, then thanks :slight_smile:

post a list of all the .pk3’s in ur folder

There can be several things making this happen…

  1. can you tell me what the image name is and what the directory is that it comes from ? Is it your own ?
  2. if you make the map in one ET - then you will need the image in the same directory as the other ET in order for the image to work for you…and /or anybody.
  3. considering what I think you know and where we are going…I will be back to check your answers

-The textures i used came from “Town-> town_wall”
-they are not my own
-I use the second copy of ET (i named it ET mapping) to play the maps and the other copy specifically for online play

i have not yet tried to post the list of .pk3s in my folder, so im about to try that now to see if that works…

thanks for the replys

both et’s will need the files within the same directory structure. such as; textures/town/town_wall

otherwise the game will not have the textures to use. As when you make your pk3 you will need to do the same…as everyone will not have those textures, you will need to give them to them.

and where would i find the actual textures so that i can put them into both copys. i have no folder named textures and i dont know where to find the files that i can find the Town textures in…

OK, town_wall is a default texture directory…so everyones ET has the default textures for that folder…ALTHOUGH >>>>>> SOMEONE CAN USE THAT DIRECTORY FOR ADDING TEXTURES.

So before I explain more…can you give me the exact name of the textures that are not showing ?

well, many of the groups of textures in the directory do not work, but for town, the textures i tried to use were “town_m_c01” and “town_c91” i am also sure that the rest of the textures do not work, but these are the wones i had used in this part of my level
