I'm trying to make a simple alpha texture. No matter what I do, the game won't load, it just says "Error: LoadTGA: colourmaps not supported ( file textures/alpha.tga )".
Now here's the really screwy part. I tried renaming a Raven alpha texture. I renamed impmine/grating.tga to new/alpha.tga , and it gives the same error!!

Can anyone help me out here?

Not a very good advice if you want to use an alpha channel.

Although I don't have a better one. They work just fine for me, have always worked. Are you sure your shader code is OK?

Post the shader.

Apparently it was a Quark problem. I got it figured out, though. I was adding my textures wrong so that they referred to textures/floorgrate1 , instead of textures/new/floorgrate1 . So when the game started it was looking in the wrong folder. Anyway here's the shader code anyway, it's just pasted from the Raven code. thanks for the help!

textures/new/floorgrate1
{
cull disable
{
map textures/new/floorgrate1
alphaFunc GE128
blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
depthWrite
rgbGen identity
}
{
map $lightmap
alphaFunc GE128
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_SRC_COLOR
}
}


PS any other quark users on here? It's a pain in the neck to find good JK2 Quark resources, and I'm not hard-core enough to add my own Jedi Academy support...

GTKradiant > Quark in my opinion.

I hadn't even heard of this quark program before this. Based on the screenshots it looks quite different compared to GTKRadiant. So, maybe it would be a big step for you to start using GTK. The truth is, however, that I don't think many people map for JA with anything other than GTK. Of course I could be wrong.

Thou shallth only map using GTK, for there is only one real Editor, and TTimo is His prophet.
