Confused about some textures

[hexbox]

I've been wondering, why do so many textures appear "blank"? i.e. there is no preview for them..

Are they 'alpha' layers or maps or something?

These are empty material shaders left over from the development process.

Don't mind them, don't use them :)

I was wondering the same. There sure is a lot of them that are just blanks. Why didn't the cull them out?

Hmm......lazy-ness I guess?? =)

I highly recommend extracting all of the textures which are found in paks1 and 4 respectively, and using the 'browse' feature in paint shop pro.. i found this method pretty useful for browsing through all of doom3's resources. It makes finding textures a lot easier; rather than tirelessly browsing through each texture individually in the editor..

That's a great idea. Once extracted, you could even just 'view as thumbnails' in explorer.

If you double-click a folder in the 'media' window it'll load all the textures in that folder to the textures window (for easy browsing and selecting).
