What's up with this...

[Zip]

I'm trying to make a custom texture, but I think I got the shader wrong.

textures/custom_wall/creamcolour
{
qer_keyword wall
qer_keyword m1
qer_keyword plaster
surfaceparm stone
{
map textures/custom_wall/creamcolour.tga
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
depthFunc equal
}
}

I get this error message in Radiant:

Loading shader custom_wall/creamcolour - creamcolour.shader...LoadTGA: Only type 2 and 10 targa RGB images supported
failed!

Is the problem the qer_keyword bits?

you need to use 24 bit .tga images or 24 bit .jpg images . If you use a .jpg leave the shader as is you have to say .tga but the game will also load .jpg if it does not find a .tga

I copied part of a texture from the pk3 file in MOH. It was a .jpg so I edited it and renamed it .tga. Maybe if I save it as a 24-bit bmp and then rename it .tga

I'll let you know what happens

Thanks

Hehe, if i leave it as a .jpg it works

Thanks bodger

You can't just rename a file with a different extension to convert it to that file type. The error you were given was saying your tga was in the wrong format. Re-naming a jpg to tga leaves it in jpg format but your O/S and Moh try and treat it as a tga but will fail to preform any operations on it.

Since you've already got it sorted this doesn't matter but I though I'd just mention it.

Good job you did, I thought you could
