Torque Textures

[Wesley Williams]

Sorry for being such a handicap... but whenever I add textures as a JPEG image, they don't appear, and I have a feeling it's also been causing Torque Constructor to crash. 

First I put it in it's own folder -  Torque Constructor > Textures > Brick > [my textures]  When that didn't work, I used an already made folder - Torque Constructor > Textures > Starter > [my textures]  But of course, that didn't work either, and Torque crashes every 5 mins.

Why is this?  Is it supposed to be formatted differently or did I use the wrong directory?


PLEASE Help me D=

You need to add them in in constructor.

ok let me see....

I went to materials>reload all textures, but it didn't work D:

You have to add them into an album.

[Wesley Williams]

right-o mate.

Added to Torque>Textures>Starter album, reloaded textures, but it didn't work D:


[P.S. I know I'm an idiot... just try to ignore that factor]

[Wesley Williams]

Can anybody help me with the directory for your JPEG images of textures?

(cause that's what I'm using)

Use .png's. TC doesn't like .jpeg's.

Dunno why...

Oh, and you also have to add them in the material GUI.

THANK YOU BOOM!  :D

[Finally a valid answer]

[Wesley Williams]

Oh yeah and aren't all the default ones a JPEG anyways?

Wow I really am an idiot, I can't even find where to add the images into the material GUI.  (it's graphics user interface correct?)

Hmm... the Materials thing is in a drop down menu.

Once I get home, I'll find the GUI Directory for you.

Navigate like you normally would and find the .png you want


Note: Although TC may be able to use .jpeg textures, Clients in BL can only download .png images. If the texture is a .jpeg, it will be replaced with the default texture.
