Custom Texture Problems

Post by Invalidd »

Hey, new member here and I currently have a question for the custom textures.

I'm using Sandbox 2.5 (On Windows 7) and whenever I go to load any of my custom textures, it always says it fails to read the file location (every file is put in its correct spot as well). It's getting quite frustrating as I've used both ways, but I seem to still have the same problems.

That is my current "packages" file. I don't see how it fails to read it, everything is in its perfect directory. Please let me know if something went wrong with the coding on the file, I have some really neat textures I would like to add.

Thanks.

Are you executing your package?, if not go to data > default map settings, and list your path to your texture package.

Yup, I made sure and set it at the bottom of the code of the default map settings (as the tutorial implies). However, whenever I start Sandbox up, (and load any type of map, even a custom map) it says on the top left corner: "could not read "packages/BKTextures/packages.cfg".

Unfortunately, nothing seems to work, even when I try and execute it. I don't think it should be any different for version 2.5, I even tried version 2.4 and it still wouldn't work.

No problem. Do you need just the package file, or will you need the textures as well to test it out on?

Oh god, wow. I just archived it to send to you, and noticed I named the cfg file Packages.cfg.cfg. Now it works fine.

Wow, I feel like an idiot. But hey, if you want to use the textures for something, let me know. Though they're just from an actual game. :P

Problem solved, sorry for being such a hassle.

Hah, actually, I just have one more question to ask (now that it works and all).

When I loaded the textures, every single one I load has this really weird cobblestone marking on it, with every texture I seem to load. Should I change the coding on the file from '0' to something else, or can I not do anything about it?
