Well a quick note before I get stuck in. I have been registered on here for over a year and have been following CC for a long time before that. However, I have never posted because I have never felt the need to. Now I do. This is because I think that CC needs more maps and I have only just started trying to make maps so no flaming as many others say in their threads but some people never listen.

So my problem is that I am trying to insert my own texture/material but it will not show the texture and also the untextured material in game at the moment is, well, I will try and upload it so you can see

And yes to the complainers out there I HAVE coped grasslands because I need to practice.

Well here is the .bmp file.



And here is the overall .rte. Which is NOT finished yet and its only called my map cause I am thinking of a proper name.



Well I hope this is a good first impression and I look forward to any helpful replies.

Have you considered perusing my invaluable Tutorial Topic? It's got a bit about custom materials at the end of the scene bits.

Sorry for not replying quicker I got a bit caught up.

Well I have yes many times and I understand it all exactly until that final bit on custom materials. I think I have done what you said. (I used Photoshop CS3) but if you download it you can see that it hasn’t worked.

If you could try and diagnose the problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

here is your problem:

ur trying to use index number 5 while you colord number 4.
do not color the already colord ones.
another thing when i was looking for the error;
your "Ground/snow" sprite doesent use the 8 bit collor sprite. here is it fixed:
(without this it would endup being purple or green snow)

and one more thing, the snow sprite is not looping, but you will notice that once youve got the material fixed.
