Where would I find a custom textures tutorial?

I looked all over and I cant find a tutorial for making your own custom textures! I checked all the links (from .map) and can't find one! I heard there is one by Nemesis? Where would I find that?

have you tried searching? try for

custom textures

*nemisis

put custom textures in the first rectangle and *nemisis on the second. it might come up with a lot but look around a bit and you'll find it i'm sure. if not, try pmming someone. i personally don't know, so don't try me.

Nope, didn't work. It didn't even bring up one topic! None! Thanks for your suggestion though. Someone around here has gotta know where to find a tutorial on this. I hope.

I tried to make my own textures and it always shows up as black and blue checkerboard. Do you have any idea why this might be happening? I did exactly as you said and it didnt work, well it put it in there but didnt show my texture.

okay, tell us:
name and address (folder) of ur texture image and of the shader file and a printout of its contents

I tried this two ways, one time I put my texture in main/textures/mytextures/siding.jpeg. I put my shader in main/scripts/siding.shader. The other way I tried it was I made my own texture and scripts folders and made them into a pk3, that didnt work either. I only put one texture in the mytextures folder in main/textures. I used the algiers shader but changed the info to fit my texture. Dont know whats wrong.

1st method is fine for the beginning, if this is working, the 2nd is a piece of cake.
the shader must be called mytextures.shader (like the texture's folder).
Have u done extension jpg or jpeg?
could I see the shader's contents?

Well first off, go into Edit>Prefrences in Radiant. Make sure the 'Show non-shader images' is checked. Try renaming the siding.jpeg to siding.jpg and put this into your shader which goes into the scripts folder:

textures/mytextures/siding
{
qer_keyword siding
qer_keyword wall
qer_keyword wood
surfaceparm wood
{
map textures/mytextures/siding.jpg
nextbundle
map $lightmap
}
}

then save as: mytextures.shader, make sure it didn't get saved as mytextures.shader.txt

what for? he would get a list of all textures, including those without shader (i.e. no transparency no surface parameters...)

My shader file looks exactly like the one you just posted, and it didnt save as siding.shader.txt its just siding.shader.
