It clearly says "Space are not allowed".

Read the fucking error, its common sense, surely?

"file for radiant.dds" is NOT a valid filename

Your last image shows:

GLASS, WINDOW and "decal - static decal"

Change glass to brick
Change window to exterior wall
Change sort to "<default>*"

Also, check another Locale (i.e Middle East)

I am pretty sure that under Framebuffer operations and in alphaTest, it should be Always* not GE128 but, it may not make a difference.

Confusing as it is, I think that's a screenshot within the screenshot from a tutorial / web page behind? :?

i got help from a guy on modsonline we went teamspeak and he went step by step with me and it now working, reason why i having all the problems is windows os. 7..lol i had it set as admin request setting meaning some files was being hidden, and i had to give admin permissions. plus i was saving the images in a folder with uppecase text, should of been lower text case .. folder was textrure_assets.. so now
admin permissions. is turned of it works ok

Ok so now i got the textures working i know Drofder2004 said
My guess is that you have not correctly sized your texture. It MUST be a power of 2 on both sides.

2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512
can i not use anythink in between 64-128? i tried 95 but was geting some error, but when using the point above i was getting no errors.... im using this image MineField
Image and want it as just a small signpost, so what should i use, 32 is way to smalll 64 ive not tried yet, 256 & 512 is way to big... ive yet also to try 128/ what would you say to use for a sign post. ?
