You need to press F1 key when the segment browser opens,this opens the paths to fpsc folders,I cant remember where the default paths are going,maybe the segment creators own folders.

If I remember correctly both the model and the texture (.tga in this case) need to be in the entitybank\user folder.
You can also use other image formats (.bmp,.jpg and .dds).
Just remember to sepcify the proper name when picking the texture...such as red.jpg or purple.tga.

I think the prob here is what i have. I have to use the same default names that are in the texturebank/user/rooms/myroom. for a floor texture the filename is F_a_01_D2.tga if you rename your tga file to this name, then the browser will display the texture file in its window. These are not for the meshes, any named mesh can be seen in the browser window

My bad...I thought you were talking about the entity maker.I never could get the segment maker to work.
Your best bet would be to go here and get Signs.There is a free version you can try to make segments in seconds.
You will be glad you did.

Just add _D2 to the end of your image name and it will see this. It sees anything with a _d2 or a _N or _S or _D.

Good luck
