You might need to reload the segment-browser, since it doesn't load in new files automatically.

One thing to look forward to:
The day FPSC v 1 is released

Did you name the texture as "anyname"_d2.tga.The_d2 is critical.If you use this the texture will appear in the browser.Hope this helps.

No You dont need to use _d2.tga
But You must use .tga FPSC makes Your dds files automatic.

Sorry to correct you CBStudios but the file must be named with the _d2 at the end.You can use up to thee images to texture a wall or a floor of a segment and in order for the programme to recognise them
they must be named thus "anyname"_d2.tga(the texture you see),"anyname"_d.tga(diffuse map) and "anyname"_n.tga(normal map).
The "anyname" part must be the same for all three images.All you need to texture your segment parts are the _d2 images the others are used for shader effects(bumpmapping).

This applies if you are using the segment editor to texture your segment pieces.They won't show up in the browser unless they have the _d2 added

Save your brick texture (or rename the texture if it is already in the texturebank/user/rooms/)as "whatever name you have given it"_d2.tga i.e brick_d2.tga.When you select change texture in the segment editor your texture will now show up in the browser,select it and your texture will appear on the floor.

You do if you want to add shader effects to your segments.It lets the engine know if the texture is a diffuse map or a normals map.
Look at the video tutorials that come with the segedit kit.

No problem.If you get a paint programme called Gimp you can get a plugin for it that will generate normal maps(bump maps are already included).You can then save your normal maps as "yourname"_n.tga and bumpmaps as "yourname"_d.tga.You then select change effect in the segment editor,choose bumpent ,save your segment(you have to do this after every time for the effect to show) and your segment piece will show up with bumpmapping.
