PROBLEM Black texture on 3-D?

[Peitzza]

Hi I'm new to mapping (how many times do you here that?)

Ok, here's my problem, When viewing in the camera bo on the right my textures (some of them) start getting "blacked out" where you can only see the black outline, and stay that way, thay aren't blacked when I run the game, but it's really hard to build stuff this way as you can guess. what's going on, what am I doing wrong?????

I have Windows XP

Thanks in advance,
-Peter

It is your video card or your monitor. No one else has posted that problem. Maybe you should look for newer drivers.

It is a known fault unfortunately I had a similar problem after playing with lighting (in the menu options) everything went DARK!! The only way i could cure it was to reinstall (yes) MOHRad

go to view->lighting and see what's checked. If "use real lighting" is checked that might be the problem


I have only "use surface lights" checked.
