Black spaces in between textures??

[Nick Perrin]

So I added some new textures into a wad, and used XWE to add them to PNAMES lump and TEXTURES lump. I checked the TEXTURES lump to make sure it had the right sizes for each texture, but for some reason some textures, when seen in-game, are not tile correctly, instead each tile of te texture is separated by black!

This only happens with wall textures. I use doombuilder to make maps, and in the 3d view the textures look fine. However, I really don't know what's causing this to happen, if anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks.

Are the new problematic textures non-power-of-2 ones? I think these cause problems in some source ports.

What Lobo said. Also, try stick to 'vanilla doom' dimensions. Eg. a texture with x=40 will not tile correctly even if most leveleditors will show the texture just fine.

[Nick Perrin]

oh man, that sucks. I'll try and see if doing so fixes my problem tonight, when i get home... Is there any way around that? thanks for the help.

[Nick Perrin]

Okay, i tried changing the widths of a few textures to powers of two, but it still has black spaces! Do I have to make the length a power of two as well? Or is there any other solution??

[Nick Perrin]

okay, it doesn't work. what's wrong?

i've been having this exact problem in the past couple days, it seems to happen with smaller textures, i just went into an editor, and tiled it 4 times, so the texture was bigger, it seemed to fix the problem. There may be a better way though.

Nick, you can send me the wad if you want me to take a look. rddp@duellist.net (put doom in the subject title, it'll get filtered out from all the spam then).

[Nick Perrin]

alright, sure, hope you can fix it!!

[Russell_P]

I've recieved the wad, I'll take a look at it tonight.

Don't forget to post back and let us know, just for future reference in case it happens to someone else :)

[Nick Perrin]

I can't seem to get this problem fixed!

[Nick Perrin]

I GOT IT FIXED! I realized that after I changed the texture sizes in wintex, I forgot to change them as well in the TEXTURES lump. Now the problem is fixed. Thanks everybody for the help!

[ShaneAmp]

you did? thats funy, cuz i was changing the sizes in the textures lump, and still had the same problem.

[Fusion]

If you're using xwe, you actually need to 'save' changes in the texture options menu for the changes to take effect. Maybe that's why it's not working for you?

[ShaneAmp]

ive done that to, ive done everything ive been told to do, i think maybe theres a problem in the wad file ive been working on.
