ok this is getting wierd, certian textures show up as the grey and white lines ingame (messing texture thing) and it only happens to certian textures that should work as they are from the official SP game and some that are doing it are custom ones that I made for the map, and the other custom ones work but certian ones dont, any reason it does this?

First of all be sure if they are JPEG's that they are Standard Encoded (in all save as dialogs for JPEG you should get an options button).

 

Secondly they must have dimensions that are powers of two, so 32,64,128,256,512,1024. Any mix will do, so an image 1024x128 is fine.

A shader is a textfile that contains certain information about a texture (glowing, reflecting, impact sound, ...) while a texture is just the image.

 

In gtkradiant they appear almost identical, but shaders have a white square around the texture, and when you shift+click on them you'll automatically open the shader file associated with that texture.
