I dont have installed 1.5 yet. But when i start my map from the compile tools my customtexture are visible ingame. after i make a restart in the console with mp_restart all my texture are away and they will be drawn a white placefolder texture. I think its because the custom textures are missing in the main/images folder. i dont tried that out yet, but that is just one logic think. coz not all the stuff is compiled in the fast file. all custom stuff must be in an iwd file i think.

i will try this out..

yeah custom stuff does have to go into an iwd. Although that is usually for the final finish of the map ready for publishing. While in testing stages, I'm sure textures can stay in the images folder in the raw folder. Correct me if I'm wrong...

with cod2 it was...

got rid of the 1.5 patch [did restore of windows] and with 1.4 it works

fine...

only now i can,t play 1.5 servers

hope some one can find a fix for this 1.5 trouble....

Having the same problems as above.. running 1.5 patch and my custom texture shows up fine in Radiant. However when I run my map everything that has my custom texture is now invisible.. you can see right through it.

I have read somewhere that this is an issue with radient and patch 1.5. I have read also that there is no issue once the map is in a finished state. i.e. the iwd file is in the game folder and the map is in the usermaps folder...

I'll test this out later and report back.....

As I thought, the custom textures work fine in patch 1.5 when the map is ran in the normal way through the game. If you use the compile tools to "Run Selected Map" then the custom textures will not work.

Thanks for everyone's efforts on this.

Hint....
To run the map through the game, enter the game, press the button left of 1 to bring down the console and type...
map mp_mapname
then press enter, your map will load up allowing you to see it as if it had already been published.

thats how I usually test ;)
And it doesn't fix the texture issue since 1.5

all my custom textures work in 1.5

heres what i do

i have 2 versions of cod4....

cod4 v1.5 for playing....and cod4 v1 for mapping

Is there a solution for this problem yet?? Have losts of custom textures.. I dont wan to wait for a new paths. And dont want to reinstall cod 4 + radiant to get back to patch 1.4.
Tried a lot of things nothing works.
So if anyone found a solution...plz reply

Thnx.

Have you tried putting the textures in an iwd?

go to raw\images and make a new zip file, rename it to mapname.iwd, open it in winrar or pakscape or whatever, make a new folder inside it called images, and put the texture in there.
