Found saved maps had to use "compatability files" for them to show.
Next problem is followed tutorial for add custom textures in wiki help.
followed instruction No good. Do they have to be a certin size? like 512x512?
using "jpg" format, they don't show up in Textures when opened in edit mode not even in custom map.
under my "map name-art.cfg at the very bottom the selected textures are listed.
do i have to make a default map settings.cfg file in mystuff/data folder?
tutorial steps are not real clear trying to help grandson Age 8 with this problem

Texture files should be square, but the size doesnt matter (512x512 would be a perfect size)
What steps of the tutorial have you followed?
(I have no idea about the first part)

Adding custom textures to map: That should be the tutorial you are using.
Open your Sandbox 2.6 folder and click Packages>(name of YOUR folder)>packages.cfg
As I don't know what texture and code you have, here's mine:
Code: Select all
//Textures Created by Arcones
setshader stdworld
texture 0 "arcones/yellow_tile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/blue_tile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/b_wtile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/green_tile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/red_tile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/white_tile.png"
texture 0 "arcones/brick.png"
texture 0 "arcones/brown_light(64x64).png"
texture 0 "arcones/brown_light.png"
texture 0 "arcones/dirt.png"
texture 0 "arcones/redbrick.png"
texture 0 "arcones/scratchblue.png"

Yes, spelling in all files correct have fat fingers when typing fast.
I remember using Dos and machine coding for CnC,s so i know spelling is critical.
could it be vista? should i always have to open folder "Mystuff" and then click the
compatability tab to see them
is it because it the free addition?
