Sorry so many posts and questions, but perhaps better docs for this system would help with that. There is nothing in the faq about doing this, or about adding textures to existing maps, or any of the other questions I have asked. I'll work on models this week and let you know how I did importing the...

Thank you, I copied the info from my packages.cfg file into the untitled-art file (the file for the map I've been working on) And it worked. At first, my whole world was screwed up because I didn't put that at the end of the textures list... Once I put it at the end and restarted, everything worked ...

Sorry I forgot one other thing, I have collected almost 1000 royalty free textures from various sources. I would be happy to zip my new texture dir along with the packages.cfg file.

Adding so many textures is very tedious work, if I can help others, I'd be happy to do that if there is interest.

I mean pre-made model sites like this... I found tons of md3 file sites. If I can figure out how to import these, I'd be so happy... Someone PLEASE help!

I've seen that md3 and md4 models can be adding to sandbox. I have found many sites with tons of pre-made models for quake III and cube2... Before I try to tackle learning to convert blender files to md5 (thats not going too well) Maybe its best if I just first learn how to import some off the shelf...

I mean what I'm trying to do is add new textures to an existing, not new map.

Oh and thanks for your reply,.

Hey, I did learn how to add textures with the packages.cfg and that works for new maps only. The textures show up as blank on old maps.
Are you saying I can add those textures to the map art file and then the old map can use the new textures?

Okay new question, does anyone know... Can you NOT add new textures to an existing map at all? Gives invalid texture when I tried to add textures.... Works with new map...? That kinda sucks, this means once you start a map your stuck with just the textures you started with, and you can never add any...

How can you add textures to an existing map? What once you start a map you'll never think of or want to add a new texture or you have to start completely over? That kinda sucks.
