ORIGINAL TITLE: I cannot see my textures

Check, if it is for textures in WC, did you put the texture into a wad of the right format (HL) and install it in WC? If it is for far away textures in the game, did you set the map's max view distance too low? Are you in software mode with more than 800 wpolys in the area? Or do you have too thin brushes or overlapping brushes? Do you have too many wads in WC/Hammer - 8 is the limit? Did you remove the wad from WC/Hammer that the texture is in? Was the texture was over streched or over shrunk, or adjusted to nothingness. If your custom textures are black in the game, did you REMIP them in Wally?
If it is an invisible texture/{transparent check all of these:

[li]Does the name of the texture start with the { character?
[li]Is the blue 0 0 255 color? Is it the ONLY blue? (Wally likes to make extras.)
[li]Is the blue in pallette position #255? (Wally likes to move it around.)
[li]Is the func_illusionary set to solid mode, fx to 255?
[li]Again, did you REMIP in Wally?

[li]Are you in software mode? Occasionally it can't see through the "clear" portions of textures.
[li]Finally, is there fog in the game? - that might mess things up...
