Using radiant classic

[your mother]

This has probably been answered before, but how do I use qeradiant to create pb2-textures.

I can make maps and all, but I cant seem to add textures or load the texture directory at all.

It's a bit strange making maps in radiant and then moving them to bsp for texture adding.


Can someone help?

You might have to use the .wal files from the bsp pack.  I don't know if qeradiant supports jpeg.  I think QE5 does, though.

Naturlich what I meant was how do I load textures to assign them to objects.

You noticed that Jitspoe. Thanks!

Ahhhh... Now it works.

Copied the "textures" dir (from the pb2 directory of course) into a c:\quake2\baseq2\textures directory then the fucn program found them. It couldn't find them if I pointed the program to the original directory, I had to move them....

-Now I can play too! Lol.

A lot of the old Q2 applications search for "quake2" in the path, so that might have been the problem.  I had to include a quake2 directory within the bsp directory and put data in there for it to work.

Everything works now apart from the paintball2 palette of the textures. The maps look like crap!

I don't really know how to fix this problem, and would be happy for any help.

There's a palette file in the BSP pack.  I'm not sure what radiant uses for palletes, but that might work.  If not that, colormap.pcx from pantball2/pball/pics might be what you need.
