Not just even multiple, the texture sizes have to be powers of 2.
Ex 514 is no good when 512 is.

[legacy-jagwire]

yes

I made them the image sizes that the tut said.
512x256
but the only thing that I can see maybe is the they are 24bit.
Do they have to be in 8bit?
I wish I could email them to somebody and some one can make a texture package.

I SUCK

They shouldn't have to be in 8bit, no, but you could try it out and see, UnrealEd is a funny thing sometimes

Also, what file format are you saving them in? I normally use .pcx, which I know works well with both 8bit and 24bit.

Thanks for everybodys help on my retardation.
I finally got the textures imported (i figured it out just before xero helped me) and I followed the tut at http://www.planetunreal.com/architec..._tutorial.html

But now I get the NO PREVIEW.....
I suck again.

Nope. UnrealEd is humongously detailed and no one who's human is going to get things right the first time they try it. There's probably a dozen ways to go wrong just making a basic subtraction cube, and the opportunities for misadventures further down the line probably multiply geometrically...so all anyone can do is keep punching away at the **** thing until it works right.

You are the starship Enterprise. Your five year mission, Jim, is to create a map that is actually playable LoL. Personally, I just hope to finish a map for 2004 before 2005 is released.
