I created a basic wall and i added my texture to it on Milkshape, but when i export it to a DTS file and i test out my model, the texture is WHITE. I put the texture file and the DTS file in the same folder though...And the wall seems to have no collision to it either....Please help me someone.

I believe the textures also have to be square. I think thats also what throws off alot of people. I know when I made my first dif building, this was one of my major problems. or maybe this was changed with 1.4.

The powers of 2 thing caught me out a lot in the early days. Especially when exporting from Xara where it mysteriously added 1 extra pixel to the size of my texture...
Not sure if DIF textures need to be square though.

I have some DTS's with rectangular textures. Just make sure that both sides are powers of 2. 64x128 32x512 etc.The powers of 2 thing caught me out a lot in the early days. Especially when exporting from Xara where it mysteriously added 1 extra pixel to the size of my texture...

Check your texture sizes make sure its a power of 2,(eg, 128x128 256x256, 512X512) this is so common that it needs its own forum in the starting out section. If its not it will be be white just like you describe :))
Also before anyone jumps on you :)), use keywords in the search, Textures, or white textures and you usually you will find the answers, just try keywords related to the problem.
Of course if I can take a second or two to answers a question I will :)) even if its one that been answered a 100 times.
