custom textures

[il sniper]

how can i make custom textures? i've tried to make a .jpg and a .tga files, i putted them into a new folder in the pak2.pk3\textures;
when i go into the MRad, i select the "custom" folder in textures, the program loads my files but i don't see them in the usual window so i can't use them.
the textures files should have particularly size , resolution , extension?
please help me and sorry for my bad english!

Man I hope this doesn't come off rude......but there are so many custom texture tutorials out there. One on this site!. Not to mention a search of this forum would yield many many many many results.

Keep them in values of 8,16,32,64 ect pixels ect. Have you made a shader for them?

Also don't add anything to the pak files add them to a textures folder in the main folder

yes, i readed the old topics but my problem is to create the shader (if i tick the "show non-shader images" i see my files). thanks

First of all don't put anything inside the pak2.pk3 file. Put your custom textures in main/textures/mymapname folder.

Now open Pak0.pk3. Inside the scripts folder, extract to your desktop and open misc_outside.shader and you will see something like this:

textures/misc_outside/bark_set1
{
qer_keyword tree
qer_keyword natural
qer_keyword flat
qer_keyword wood
surfaceparm wood
{
map textures/misc_outside/bark_set1.tga
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
depthFunc equal
}
}

This is the shader. Now just change the parts to fit your map's name and directory. Like:

textures/mymapname/mypict
{
qer_keyword mymapname
qer_keyword wood
surfaceparm wood // or whatever
{
map textures/mymapname/mypict.tga
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
depthFunc equal
}
}

Repeat the process for other textures in the lines to come.

Save as a text and change the name to mymapname.shader and put inside main/scripts folder.

In Radiant your textures are in "mymapname"...

Hope it helps.

Actually, there isn't. When you click on the link for the custom texture tutorial, you are taken to a page that says it is coming soon.
