Where to put Textures with Interiors

I was wondering where you put the textures for interiors. When I look at the directories, it looks like they should be in the same directory as the map, however, when I put it in that directly, I get a missing texture error when I use map2dif.

If that doesn't work, you should be able to specify the directory your textures are in with the -t option.

I typically put all my textures in a subdirectory of interiors (i.e. fps/data/interiors/mylevel) and put the actual .maps in a subdirectory of THAT (fps/data/interiors/mylevel/maps).If that doesn't work, you should be able to specify the directory your textures are in with the -t option.

Thanks for info, I'll try it. Since I'm just goofing with this as a hobby I was using GTKRadiant. But since that's not working, I think I'll try Quark. I really don't like Hammer/Worldcraft.

When you compile the map run the command line as such (assuming everything is in the "C:\Torquestuff\" folder and the .map file is called bridge.map)
map2dif -t C:\torquestuff\ -o C:\Torquestuff\ bridge.map
that should get rid of your missing textures error, assuming you have all the .jpg or .png files in the correct place.

ok, it doesnt rteally matter where you put the textures at all when converting to a .dif, just so long as you know where it is on your HDD's.When you compile the map run the command line as such (assuming everything is in the "C:\Torquestuff\" folder and the .map file is called bridge.map)
map2dif -t C:\torquestuff\ -o C:\Torquestuff\ bridge.map
that should get rid of your missing textures error, assuming you have all the .jpg or .png files in the correct place.

QUarK worked fairly well. Easy to setup. Doesn't seem to bad so far.
