in Trouble regarding re-texture and compiling Post #348477
Hello there. (I'm submitting this reply because the other one wasn't submited for unknown reasons, or something...)
I've cleaned the valve folder from any mod leftovers and checked textures for conflicting issues. I've also cleared my mod's folder of any valve .wads or anything similar. However, none of these seem to be the cause of the problem.
While taking a quick look, I realized that I had accidentaly edited the HL game profile, and fixed it. It kinda solved solved the issue, although now when I run the map, it displays an error message (padev.wad not found, padev.wad is a .wad I'm using for dev textures and stuff).
I then thought that the problem had to do with the fact that I had replaced some developer textures, so I removed padev and replace it with halflife.wad, hoping it would ressolve the issue... which didn't solved the issue.
I then ran the map a second time, this time inside valve folder, and it also did nothing. The problem definitely has to do with compiling.

in Trouble regarding re-texture and compiling Post #348466
Hi. I am currently working on a Half-Life modification, specifically trying to add custom textures.
I have gathered all of my textures, created a .wad using wad maker, and inserted them into my map. Problem is, the first time I compiled the map, it replaced the textures with HL placeholders I was using before (which I think, is the source of the problem).
The main reason being that I was using very large textures. I resized them to a proper size (256x256), re-packaged them and launched the map again. Still, it did not worked. I tried several alternatives, such as changing the .wad's name, removing the sky box (replacing it with another texture) and even moving the map files to a different directory (from the "valve" folder to my mods folder, probably another cause).
I don't know how to proceed in this matter, and I would appreciate very much your help.

Thanks
