custom texture, .TGA OR .DDS

[Drofder2004]

1st thing before I actually check them...

I cant help but notice the double extension on the dds (.dds.dds) That wont work.

And also, which folder are you putting these in?

Edit:
Also, how did you make the dds file? Photoshop, a dds converter or a simple rename?

Ok, I just took a look at the tga file. The reason it will not show up in CoD is because of the image size.
The image has to be a certain size otherwise it will not load, the size must be a power of 2...
so 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024...

The best to use is 512 for better quality...

I will remake the file for you and post it up.

^Map File and textures^

When you put the texture into your own map, you will not be able to just click the texture and "fit" it as there is a large black area.

You need to make a 100 by 25 unit rectangle, apply the texture. Then press S to open the surface inspector. In there you can move the texture around using the "Horizontal shifts" and "Vertical Shifts". Smoetimes your texture will be backwards, to fix this, in the Inspector look at the "Horizontal Stretch " and make it negative (-0.25). You will then have to "Shift" the texture horizontally to get it nicely in position.

hope that helps

thanks a load, i never knew the size was important, the .dds.dds was not in my texture folder it was a slip up i did just before i uploaded it. I got the .dds plugin from the nvidia site and used photo shop to convert. Ill try doing it as you said, ill edit this post in just a sec once i have done it. thanks.

EDIT:

Blue and Black is the sign for "No texture". Red and Black is for textures that can only be shown after a compile.

If you are using a custom texture, it should just appear as you made it.
Try remaking it, if it still doesnt work, upload the texture, and either post here, or pm me and I will see if I can get it to work.
