I created my texture in dimensions according to the power of 2, and saved it as a .dds file with these properties under the images folder of my cod2 main folder:

Then i opened cod2 asset manager and created a new entry as a material and gave it the properties as shown below. Any properties you cant see in the screenshot were unchanged

then i saved it as a gdt file with the same name as the entry. And then finally i went to pc convert, and select current asset only. I have checked and there is a file with that name under materials, and there is a .iwi file with that name under images in my main folder. But the texture still does not appear in radiant. I have also tried adding it to an .iwd file without success, what am i doing wrong?
