I wanted to try to texture a floor segment with a texture I had called rubble this was a jpg image so I opened it in photoshop and saved it as a tga file and put it in the directory structure under my room but when I hit the change texture button in segment editor and went to the folder the texture would not show up the other textures are there and I know this one is there because when I go to the directory outside of segment editor it is there. Am I doing it right?

Ok thanks I will try that! I listened to all the segement editor videos more than once and I do remember something about shaders and D2 but why do the textures need to be names D2?

While in the texture browser window inside the segment editor, press the F1 key and you will be able to see your textures.

Well I think I got the segement editor figured out, I also made a new wall segement in milkshape and got it scaled right to work with a floor segement from FPSC and made a room and got it into FPSC, It looked ok.

The reason I did this was because the wall segement that I was using was kind of wider at the bottom and it did not look right with a brick texture I used so I spent a long time doing this. I then started looking around in FPSC meshbank and realized that I could have found a good flat wall piece there and textured it my way and had it done in about ten minutes instead of a couple of hours making one and scaling it right. As far as walls and floors go I don't see any reason to do that again unless really necessary.

I do have a couple of questions if someone could give me an answer.

1. When I create my own room segement get it into FPSC and test level there is no sound when you walk around, I know you have to edit a file but I' am not sure which one, I looked in the fps file but did not see anything for sound.

2. Textures, when I did the tutorials for segement editor there was one for shaders and it totally improved the look of the wall texture. How can I get that effect with my own textures. Most of the textures I have are jpeg images that I picked up around the web. I tried to do that tutorial with one of the textures I have and it did not work. I don't understand what the bumpent and those different effects are for. Do I have to make these myself for my own textures? If so where can I find out how to do that?

3. If I did want to create my own segements with milkshape does anyone how to scale them quickly, the trial and error method takes a long time!

Well that was one question answered, 4 gave me the sound of walking on rockey ground, 2 like walking on metal. I have to read the pdf more because I think I saw a list of numbers for this somewhare in there.

Now if someone knows anything about my texture question that would be great.

I made a test room with a wall segement the wall middle segement of armoury and textured it with the same texture that I used on the segement that I made in milkshape and put them into FPSC and could not tell the difference between the room made with FPSC segments and the ones I made in milkshape.

You have to make them. To make Normal maps from textures you will need a tool. Nvidia has a plugin for photoshop, but there are a couple of free ones I think. Sorry can't remember where, might want to google it.

Look for the wall and floor x files in the entitybank. Import them into milkshape as reference scale. Might help reduce the trial and error.

Nevermind,
I was thinking of entities and not segments.
Sorry for the brain fart.
