please use the [IMG] tags. I don't want to follow all those links.

You aren't using the GIMP file, right? It has to be a targa like anything else.

Also, what is it supposed to be? It looks pretty bad.

It looks like that because he's taking pictures of his screen.

@yoyoman: You need to use the "printscreen" (I'm guessing that English is not your first language so it would be something else on your keyboard) or a screen capture utility because it's nearly impossible to tell with the pictures you posted what happened.

Dunno if dimensions is the problem but have a look at this-

(posted by biohazard)

acceptable sizes for width or height:
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
2048
(sense the pattern yet?)
4096
8192
...
...


Also make sure RLE compression is un-ticked. Hope it helps mate :D

A texture can go up to 2048x2048 without problems, or up to 4096x4096 working in-game but it'd crash ZE when you try to place the object.

Need info. From my best guess, I think you are trying to load textures that don't like to show up ingame (like the mustafar one)

no. And how did you skin the sky? What the hey? I think you need to tell us exactly what you are doing. Did you edit the -insert map name here-.sky file? You need to edit that to get your sky to show up...

In order to properly embed images, you need the URL of where they are by themselves, with nothing else on the screen, like here: http://www.crtoys.ca/images/rah_clone_trooper.jpg

You're just linking to a page.

In other news, try opening up a texture that is already made and put your stuff in it. That way it is formatted correctly.
