hey,
wondering if anyone can help me...I made a texture and converted it to DDS file. then i put it in /main/textures/MATRIX,
then i made the map (in cod radiant the texture showed up)...wen i played the map the textures were black....

p.s i have put the folder textures with subfolder matrix then my textures into the pk3 file..so its all there

PLEASE SOMEONE

thanks..SAS-ollie

OK, i cant tell where you went wrong by just that. so delete it and follow these instructions carefully.

1. Choose a texture. Save it as a Jpeg in a format that contains a power of 2.(1024x512, 128x128, 256x64...)

2. Open it in Photoshop or any other program that has a DDS-Plugin(the texture format that CoD uses). You can find the plugin for Photoshop in our downloads section here and here.

3. Save it as DDS. A dialog will open where you can set many different things. Don’t wory about it. o­nly make sure, that “Generate Mip-Maps” is activated and you’re using either DXT 1 (RGB No-Alpha) or DXT1 (ARGB 1-bit Alpha)

ARGB is o­nly used for see-through textures. For havin those, you’ll need a fourth channel called Alpha. Paint the visible parts of your texture white and the see-through parts black. Then save.

4. To get the textures into Radiant, make a textures subfolder in your main folder of CoD, and in that o­ne another subfolder. I always call this o­ne the name of the map I use the texture in, saves me from trouble.

5. Now you can either write a texturename.shader file for the texture and place it in in the folder main/scripts or rename the texture to surface@texturename.dds. The surfaces you can use are in the shadertypes/world subfolder of the pak4.pk3 zip file. They have the extension .stype. You can see textures using these in the pak0.pk3 and pak1.pk3. For example i made a lid for my sewer entrance which i gave the name metal@sewerlid.dds. It made the texture behave like metal when you shoot it or walk over it.

(always check modsonline.com )

I checked it out, and I couldn't see what was wrong

The .dds files are in the .pk3, and the textures show up in radiant, they just don't show up in cod

If you follow the tutorial from modsonline (posted by murphy above) then you should be fine. Im guessing your texture is not exactly a power of 2.

Post up the EXACT size of the image in pixels.

yup, good thought drofder, didnt think of that but yea just follow the mods online tut
