Textures Problem

[guythnick]

I've downloaded Chris Bogstad's Hexen Texture Pack and Heretic Retextured. I've unziped them to the data\jxxxxx\Textures directory, but they don't show up in game. I've also tried making a pk3 and putting them in the auto dir, and when I do the loading screen comes up and says "XXXXXX.tga cannot be compressed" (or something like that) and won't load.

The thing is, The Doomsaday I downloadedd had doom 1 and 2 with hi res textures and they work fine. I am thinking there is a step I missed. I've even tried converting all the textures to .png files (cause that's what the doom textures were) but to no avail. Please help an idiot.

EDIT::: I solved the problem by switching to D3D renderer. It is weird though because I was using OpenGL with Doom, and I have a GeforeceFX, which appreciates the openGL. Anyway, thanks guys.

Er... There shouldnt be a doomsday download that contains the original games. Thats not right y'know.

Was the package you dled called doomremake??

[guythnick]

yeah that was it. hey i know about stealing stuff. I bought doom back in my 386 days so i figure i'm good for life. i re downloaded doomsday though to un updateed version.

Well, I wont contest that, you're qualified to make your own mind up. But its still bad that that shitty Doom Remake thing is still floating around. Its as illegitamate as the bastard child of a priest and a male goat. Indrema, if you're reading, at first I was only mildly annoyed. Now this thing is giving me stress related social disorders. No really, this morning I snapped at my cat for purring at a higher pitch than usual.

guythnick : Where did you download it and did it come with the original Doom/2 IWADS (not just the shareware edition)?

[Psykoman]

It is on eDonkey2000 and Torrent to. *burn* *burn* *burn*
*cry*

I don't blame Indrema directly. What he wanted to do was to help bring more people into the community by creating an all-in-one download. Unfortunetly it didn't take some people long to think that if they adding in pirated copies of the old games they could pass it off as a real remake :(

Hmm. Right... so, what can you tell us guy?

The idea is sound I agree, and its exactly the same thing that Dorian Grey suggested and is setting up now. The only problem is he never asked us and so didnt have any of our input. Thats why it ended up in such shambles. It could have gone really well if he'd actually consulted everyone before making himself "manager" of the project. If you ask me, I bet he just wanted to be the centre of attention for a while, even if he didnt realise it. Even simple things like the detail textures that are incinerated into the textures on every screenshot, that would have never got past us lot....
