Look at the samples that ship with TGE. You can see where we placed our .dif files and textures.

@Justin - Have you tried any of the tutorials or read the docs on this yet? The subject is covered on where to place your files and how to load them in the game.Look at the samples that ship with TGE. You can see where we placed our .dif files and textures.

There are other folders inside that folder with dif objects and textures. So, open up the interiors folder,(for your game) make a new folder. Call it anything you want. Copy all of the aste packs difs and textures to that folder. Now, when you place them in your game they will work. The error is telling you it can't find the textures for your dif objects.
Hope that clears it up better for you.

Also, the exporter Tim used didn't strip out the unused textures from the dif files, so make sure you copy the all of the textures to your new folder.

Copy. That way you still have the originals in their original folders.Also, the exporter Tim used didn't strip out the unused textures from the dif files, so make sure you copy the all of the textures to your new folder.

In "yourGame/data/interiors/" create a folder called "tim".
Copy everything from "example/demonstration/ineriors/" to your new folder. Now they will work.
dts files go in the shapes directory.
