[ggoddogg]

Thx, fast and informative!

[appjoffe]

I have my file saved like a .TGA but then i import it's stand import failed. what d i do wrong?

[ddlyrfl]

I have been following your tutorials and saved my map yesterday. Today when i loaded the map, its saying that all the actors are externally referenced. Im a complete noob to this program and I have no idea why its not working when it was just working yesterday. Do you know a way to fix this?

Hmm okay here's what i did originally. I made a texture that was 640 by 640. i imported it as a bitmap. udk imported it but said it wouldnt do a certain thing because it was a power of 2. it had Never (something) in the name. also i couldnt apply it to a sur\fac. A\And when i made it a power of 2 size, it just said import failed and closed. what should i do?

[kcin228]

@OCoptimusconvoy make the texture 512 by 512 or 1024 by 1024. Then save it as a .TGA .

[OCoptimusconvoy]

@kcin228 okay thanks a lot! Can it be a bitmap or anything else, or just tga?

[kcin228]

@OCoptimusconvoy I strictly use .TGA's but I think .PNG's can work, maybe .TIFF's haven't tested it though.

[OCoptimusconvoy]

@kcin228 okay thanks. and does it have to be 512by 512 or any power of two sizes? cuz i had other sizes power of two, and it still didnt let me apply the texture but i dont think it said neverstream.

[kcin228]

@OCoptimusconvoy you want to keep it like 32X32,64X64,128X128,256X256, 512X512,1024X1024,2048,2048. Keep it to one of those sizes.

[OCoptimusconvoy]

@kcin228 okay thanks. i think i had like 676 or something like that, 26squared.

[Klickker]

That TDM didnt do me any good, nothing is different. How can I fix the texture problem? Is it meaby because im importing them from another game (Singularity)? I mean meaby UDK mixes up something...

[Klickker]

Also, can you tell me why my character has no guns and there`s no hud when I spawn?

[kcin228]

@Klickker add TDM-"map name" no qutatiosn when u save your map

[Klickker]

Please help, my texture turns blurry after I make it a material. It looke really neat when its a 2D texture, but as a material its blurry and looks like it has a really small resolution. Idk what to do!?

[1zacster]

can someone show me how to add a txture to an object, i have seen every tutorial o it but nothing works help D:?????

[xypter1]

@1zacster just follow the tutorial :P and then drag it to the 3d object if i understood right

[dinorama13]

@1zacster

i know its a bit late...but in case ur still interested...

u cant apply a texture to a mesh...u always HAVE to make a material...

so right click in the content browser create on and add the texture to the diffuse node.

[kcin228]

@100GPing100 Ya I don't know why it doesn't record the little menu when i right click didn't even realize it untill I uploaded.

[100GPing100]

@kcin228 it was just to tell you, you may haven't noticed, so i told you, but it is OK, since you say were we have to click (and it isn't that hard, is just like creat a new folder xD)
