Trouble with my custom MAT repeating funny on rectangle surfaces and 3DOs.

I am building my first level. When I created a custom 3DO, I used my own MAT (it was a sign). It was 512x128, and another that was 256x128 pixels. On all my sqaure 3Do's my graphic MAT looks fine (the TV sets), but when I did a sign that says "To All Gates" it looks like "All GaAll GaAll Ga."

Then I tried to make it square, but just center it so all the extra stuff didn't show on the 3do by making it 512x512, but now my level will close Jedi Knight if you walk to the area close to where the 3do is visable. Both look fine in JED, but have problems in Jedi Knight.

Thanks

IN hardware accell, textures are limited to 256x256. There is no way around this, other than runningi n software mode. In such, I believe sizes up to 1024x are supported. However, software mode is terrible, and noone with a 3d card is going to switch back to it.

Just cut your textures into 256x chunks, and align them in JED.

I used to believe that we only want what we can't have. I was wrong. The truth is, the wonderful truth is, we only want what we think we can't have.
