What video card do you have, payl and BASEBALLDUDE?
GeForce 9600 GT. Newest drivers.

Update: I'm able to reproduce it now.  It only happens if gl_free_unused_textures is set to 1.
Yes, I have this option set.

So I finally tracked down the real cause.  It wasn't pointers or texture ID numbers.  It was the fact that the .wal loading code was storing texture names with the ".wal" extension, where everything else expected the extension to be stripped.  This should be fixed for the next version.

Maybe you can replace all wals that appear in-game with JPGs...

Can you really use JPGs instead of wals in BSP when making brushes?

No I'm talking about in-game textures not BSP textures. They're two different things.

.wals are the files that were used back in the old days of quake 2 but some maps still use some. They still work with the pb2 client but the editor can only work with .wals.
