cmd line -texdir2 doesnt appear to work.

Hi,
Im trying to get JDEP hi-res skies to appear only for Doom2, but not when I run PWAD'S with it (I dont want the doom2 hi-res skies to override the PWAD skies).

It seemed like using the command line param -texdir2 would do the trick, so I created a new directory under data/jdoom/textures called doom2textures' and cut and pasted the SKY1, SKY2, SKY3 textures in there from the textures directory.

In the doom2 profile I added the following in 'Other Options'
-texdir2 "Data\jDoom\textures\doom2textures" I played about with /'s, " 's and different parent directories too.

Doesnt seem to work. Tried -texdir as well, but no joy.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

BTW: I tried renaming the SKY1, SKY2 and SKY3 TO SKY5,..6,..7 and caling a new maps.ded referenciing these textures, but doomsday didnt like it either.

Im aware that there are JDEP md2 skyboxes referenced in Environmentpack.ded, but I know this isnt the problem as Im not using those for SKY2, SKY3 etc.. *thumbs*

Open up the maps.ded at the very bottom you will find the default definition. That is the definition used by any pwads (I think). So if that has been changed from the one in Defs/jDoom then changing it back will stop the jDEP skies being used on pwads.

I think that's how it is done anyway.

Or you could just uncheck the jDEP when playing any pwad.

Thanks Dani!
I will play around with that when I get back from work and post an edit here when I get a chance.

No it doesnt work, also when I dont include EnvironmenPack.ded in jdoom.ded (i.e. non-JDEP).
I would of thought that -texdir2 would override everything. Is this a bug? I mean I did a search on this on the forums and one of Cain's posts a while back suggested that Aliens TC is loaded with -texdir2 Data/jDoom/Textures/aliens

[DaniJ]

-texdir2 is used to add an extra texture folder, not change the main one (I think so).

That would make sense I suppose , that it it adds texture definitions but doesnt overwrite previous ones.

edit: I'll play about with putting the textures in pk3's and see if I can create a profile which loads the textures from a pk3. I tried loading pk3s from the command line but no joy there either so far.
