textures

[wolfruner]

forgive me if this has been covered before, im new to mapping.

 

trying to use homemade textures in ja maps.

 

i made a folder in textures with my map name, and imported the textures into that. opened it up in radint and they where all there used them.

 

compiled the map and started the game.

 

entered sv_pure 0 in the consol

 

loaded the map and the textures where missing??

 

so i removed sv_pure 0 and tried that .......no good

 

can anyone give me any advice pls

 

ps the textures are signs and flags.

Are your textures the power of 2 pixels? Sides may only be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 or 1024 pixels wide..

yes m8 they are i was given that info by a freind cheers thats what is so puzzlling

Try sticking the textures in a pk3 instead of just typing sv_pure 0. That may work better, and then you'll never have to mes with pure server settings again, and your textures'll be ready in the pk3 for when you finally pack your map up.

 

Just checking--your textures show up in Radiant, yes? Not just "Shader image missing" blocks? Also, if any of your custom textures are really shaders, you'll need to add your shader file name to shaderlist.txt.

thank you ill try that cheers

If they're JPEG make sure that they are standard encoded, progressive will not load.

Unless you keep adding new textures because you're still mapping then adding new texture to the PK3 all the time gets tedious, sv_pure makes it easier.

Actually, they can be bigger, but then it's a question of video card support. The ATI R300 (Radeon 9x00) supports up to 2048x2048, the nVidia NV30 (GeForce FX) supports up to 4096x4096, and I've heard as low as the NV20 (GeForce 3) supports 4096x4096... But that's unconfirmed.

 

We should get a bigass 4096x4096 textured map, give it to various people, and see how it acts on their machines. I'm hoping it would resize it, but that's probably doubtful. If it did, you could use some insanely high resolution skyboxes in your levels, and not require people to lower their global texture settings.
