I am sure this must have been asked before but how do i get a custom texture to show up in radiant?

I have been learning from there too. Did not realize they had a tut on this subject though.Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 11:34 am
Alright, I carefully followed the tut but, of course, it doesn't work in my case . I don't really know what to put in the pakscape and how to name it and where to put it in the end (just in the mohaa/main folder???) In any case, there are no custom textures showin up in my rad...

In the pk3:
textures >> ivantex (or w/e) >> cooltex.tga/jpg
scripts >> ivansgroovytex.shader
and in the shader >> change the map textures/blabla/blabla.tga to map textures/ivantex/cooltex.tga
textures >> ivantex (or w/e) >> cooltex.tga/jpg
scripts >> ivansgroovytex.shader
and in the shader >> change the map textures/blabla/blabla.tga to map textures/ivantex/cooltex.tga

Alright, I got
moh_calvin.tga and
moh_calvin.shader
in a pakscape file name moh_calvin.pk3... Where do I put that?
PS: Yeah, I know, IvaN is another word for total stupidness (heck, I don't even know the correct English word for that, I think!)

Hehe Calvin and Hobbes,
Anyway:
textures >> ivantex >> moh_calvin.tga
scripts >> moh_calvin.shader
In the shader, you need to change the map textures/waffle/yum.tga, and teh other one thats lik that to:
map textures/ivantex/moh_calvin.tga

as pk3? (shader as well?)textures >> ivantex >> moh_calvin.tga
What about
? In what shader?map textures/waffle/yum.tga, and teh other one thats lik that to: map textures/ivantex/moh_calvin.tga
(Btw, I can't open the pak 0 stuff
(the zip program always gets killed by that ))Posted: Sun May 08, 2005 1:03 pm
Code: Select all
textures/ivantex/moh_calvin
{
qer_keyword ivan
surfaceparm rock
{
map textures/ivantex/moh_calvin.tga
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
depthFunc equal
}
}And it should be PK3 >> textures >> ivantex >> moh_calvin.tga
.............................\
...............................>> scripts >> moh_calvin.shader

Great! Everything should be clear now (well, apart from that fact you're probably not Mj, whatever).Thanks a lot! Now I can finally plaster some phat custom textures on my walls

Hehe, it's me again and I feel really embarassed!
That *%!!+# don't work
I know, it's probably me who is the problem...
I did a moh_calvin.tga file with the actual picture. Then I made a moh_calvin.shader script. Alright, I can't make a .pk3 of them individually (they just stay .tga resp. shader files).
Then I got the following folders:
mohaa/main/textures/ivantex and mohaa/main/scripts.
Now, do I have to make a .pk3 with both the .tga and the .shader? What name would that .pk3 thingy have then?
I have another problem (when we're at it...): I can't open the pak 0.pk3 file. I have two zip programs (quickzip and pakscape). With the first one I can open every pak file in the main folder - just not the pak 0. With pakscape I can't open anything. That is, I can open the files I just made to .pk3 files (see above) but when I open the pak files just nothing happens.
You see guys, I'm in hip deep shit as I just can't get the things to work...
. Must be annoying, sorry!

Chill out, we are here to help!
First things first, Pk0 is heavy duty pk, full of hundreds of files - that you will doubtless need if you mod. It takes me a couple of mins to open Pk0. To open a pk file using windows only is easy!
Go to a folder, any one, in the toolbar, choose tools >> folder options Click the file types tab, make a new one: Pk3 and associate it with Compressed (zipped) folder
This way, you can just double click to open pk files
What goes in the pk is the whole thing: folders and all.
A pk file is a mini, localised main folder, basically.
Take a look in some custom maps pks and see how they have done it

Thanks! So, if the pakscape doens't do anything, it does not not do anything but is loading (or trying to load) the pak 0 - is it normal that I don't see that it's working and thinking? But, btw, why doesn't it open the other pak files then (quickzip does)?
And, about the custom textures: What do I have to do next? Is it correct what I did so far?

Read what I wrote, its all there

It's alright now - my dad saved me . I can open it with quickzip, it just takes some time (as you said - or Mj or whoever )
Hmm, what did I miss? What about the folder for the textures
? *schnief*
You ppl here are great, really!
