ok anyone leet enough to help me

i am making a map with 'mafia' and he started it off with some stunt-track then he sent it to me, i extracted the map using RFA extractor 1.1 into my ED42 folder which has all the correct folders in and all the correct files from the tutorial on 'how to install editor42' on this website..

but now to get to the point:

i go into ED42 and i can do w.e i want with texturing any colour brush size/type w.e - but when i open a map in ED42 and try to texture then i cant, it comes up with no colours even though i have done exactly what i have done when i havn't opened a map... i have tryed everything i know, even redone the entire texture part in the ED42 installation tutorial, if anyone could help me and mafia please add me to my MSN address which is - gutrentch_ben©hotmail.com or just post here, thanks to anyone who helps us out with suggestions or even fixes it for us.

gutrentch and mafia ;p

Gutrentch...

Here is a tip for you:

open the extracted folder where your map is, now enter the Textures folder, are there any Tx__x__ files there? If there is not then you can just copy some from a different map with the same size as yours. Thats why Ed42 cannot texture your map, there is no files to add the texture to.

Hope it helps

If it dont let me know.

Unless I'm mistaken.....

The original was made in BC?

And the texture format for BC is different than ED42...

DXT5 for ed42 and DXT3 for BC.. (Could be worng but the idea's there)

I have been unable to 'paint' textures in ED42 before because of this...

You could try doing a batch conversion of all your texture files to tga's and then re-convert back to dds using either paintshop/photoshop or better would be to use the terrain dds converter thingy that can be found on the planetbattlefield modding area. That should allow you to edit them in ED42 again...

Good luck.. lemmie know if that helps... or if you end up looking like my avatar..

at the moment i am looking like your avatar, and you were right the map was started in BC42 and i try to texture in ED42, so i just have to convert all my texture files in ED42 into .tga then save them all again as dds using photoshop then replace the textures alllready in my textures folder in my map in the ED42 folder with these ones that have been converted from dds to tga then back to dds again? i am confused as much as you are.. trust me! .. lol

please reply and say yes or no lol

Yes - It will work.

Do you have Paintshop Pro?

This little tool is for converting.. v easy to use but read the readme...

to be honest i start of all my maps in BC then can texture them in ED42 with no problem.

Here what you MUST do for it to work though:

Generate surface maps in BC then save your map, otherwise you cannot make textures in ed42.

'This application hsa failed to start because DevIL.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.'

so i extracted it to my desktop opened it up and it didnt say that error this time it said:

'<null>Error: Parameter error: ddsconv.exe "infile" "outfile"
