u need to make an iwd... go to cod 4s raw/images directory... copy "yourcustomtexturename.iwi" into a folder called "images" zip that up and add to your maps folder.

Not sure why there are two of these threads. NovemberDobby writes... Quote: Note: Custom textures will show as white unless you are running a mod, as textures must be stored in an IWD archive. COD4 won't read custom IWD's at all unless a mod is running. Have a look HERE

In addition to FAFFER's explanation: after you ZIP (not RAR) that folder, change it's extension to IWD, and name it like your map (so you would have a mp_yourmapname.iwd) The IWD should go to [root]/usermaps/mp_yourmapname/ along with the 2 .FF files. These are the files that people who want to play your map will download. In order to see custom textures in-game, you have to run your map through a mod (ModWarfare and customMaps are already installed by default). The same goes for textures on custom models, loadscreen and minimap.

So, what's your material name, test_one or starwars ? I don't understand why there's 2 entries there. For my textures, I use the NVidia plugin for PS (I have CS2, not sure if it works with CS3). One option is to generate mipmaps, and I can choose the number of mipmaps or set it to All. And I set it to All, so if you have that option, choose it.
