Help with textures

[CptHowdy]

Not sure if this goes here. I DLed some textures and need to know how to get them into DR. Ive looked through the DR folders and don't see a texture folder. I've looked on the wiki site and it's not much help.

The textures folder is in your doom 3 folder.

Getting textures into the game is a nontrivial process - you might want to look into this article:

theres not just a textures folder. there inside a .pk4 file. so i moved the textures into the doom 3 base folder and changed the ext to .pk4 from .zip. and the textures are set as a .gtx file and not a .tga. the new textures are not showing up in DR.

did you write their directory&details in a mtr file? otherwise you can't use them. besides if you are newbie, it's better to work in darkmod folder.

Assuming you are using the Saint Lucia resources, if you are working in the base folder then in DR:

 

Menu > Edit > Preferences > Game

Mod(fs_game) base

Mod Base saintlucia

 

Alternatively you would put the texture folder in the saintlucia folder in which case you don't need base in the Mod(fs_game) box.

 

[edit] or does DR always look in base?

Yes, it does.

ah, i didnt do that.

 

where would i put them in the darkmod folder? and would i still have to write a mtr file?

under materials folder you can add at the end of a a material file. their extension are .mtr . By the way all of steps what you should follow are described in wiki
