Texture Directories
« on: November 12, 2013, 04:00:17 PM »
Looked around for the answer, but didn't see anything that looked directly into it.

So, normally the texture directories for bsp and pb are separate, and it really isn't a problem. But I was wondering if it's possible to use the same texture directory for both bsp and pb, instead of having an exact copy in my bsp folder.

Currently, the compiler tools search for the "quake2" directory, which is why the bsp pack has a really bizarre directory structure.  Also, the tools use .wal files.  Paintball2 has mostly .jpg textures by default.  I don't know that you'd want to clutter up your paintball2 texture directory with .wal files and rename the folder to quake2, but I guess if you did that, it should be possible.

Thanks for the answer. I kind of guessed that would be the only solution. If I find a prettier one, I'll post it here.

At some point, I plan to work on some new tools, which will use the textures from the Paintball2 directory.  Those probably won't be available for a while, though.
