Hi there, this is my first post so instead of flooding you with 1001 noob questions instead i want to share a tiny bit i found out myself

Tip:
to make your shiny selfmade texture appear in the Browser of the Segment Editor, name it with _D2 as the last digits before the .TGA-
like mycoolmetaltexture_D2.tga.
Otherwise you can't texture your segment with it 'cuz it doesn't show up in the Browser. The other 2 files (_D.tga and _N.tga) are used for diffusion and shader effects and must contain diffuse/normalmap information. Took me half the day to find out but now I'm ready to make some unique segments myself.
Thanks to everyone here in who's postings i've been lurking to learn a bit....
regards-daarboven

did you copy the texture and mesh in the appropriate folders too?
a segment needs its mesh and texture in the adjacent path as it is found in the segment editor: if your tex is in user/my_tex in the editor files, then you must make the same path available in the fpscreator files. wath the videos that come wit the segment editors to have them guide you through the complete editing process.
