You need to download 24bit textures and put them in the right directory.

Textures for maps go in qw/textures/mapname . For example, if you download dm4 textures, you put the files in qw/textures/dm4 .

Textures for bsp elements (ammo/health etc) go in qw/textures/bmodels.

Textures for models (model skins) go in qw/textures/models .

Textures for sprites go in qw/textures/sprites.

conbacks go in qw/gfx/ or qw/textures/gfx

conchars go in qw/ or qw/textures

wad pics go in qw/textures/wad

menu etc pics (.lmp's) go in qw/textures/gfx

I thought I understood your placement-strategy for the textures.
But now you're telling to put the model-skins for the monsters under id1/textures I'm a little bit confused.

So, can you please explain the search strategy of fuhquake when looking for a texture?

Is for example possible, to have some kind of "default" textures which are not map dependend and could be overwritten with map specific ones?
I mean e.g. to put a "ground1_2.png" directly in the textures-directory?

If loading a map "dm3" and searching for a specific texture, in my oppinion Fuhquake should have the following strategy:
Search first in gamedir/textures/dm3
if not found in gamedir/textures,
if not found in qw/textures/dm3,
if not found in id1/textures/dm4,
if not found in qw/textures and then
if not found in id1/textures
if still not found it uses the default-textures (not 24-bit) of the map.

first look in corresponding *.pak-files (with similar inpak-directory strategy) and then in the directories itself...
And also there must be a strategy about the file-formats (first png, then jpg, then jpeg, then tga?)...

Is this the way FuhQuake works?

the way it works is too complicated and I can't be fooked explaining it. you have to look at source to understand, its evry complicated. basically you can put it anywhere sensible and it will work. in fact it's pretty close to what you said, except it searches in all the qw/bleh directories before it starts looking in id1/bleh. and it goes tga->png->pcx , but im going to take out pcx because png does everything pcx does plus more.

yeh of course

Fine!

And here's my last question (for now ):
it seems, that jpg is not supported any longer (v0.24build 225)
(or at least for map-textures). Is that true?

I'm asking because I put a texture of my own in a map-directory as "name.jpg" and it didn't work;
as "name.png" it works (but is of course a lot bigger in size)...

[fuh]

jpeg's were never supported for textures because I don't like them. Show me one decent commercial game that stoops so low as to ship with textures using lossy compression.

[impaqt]

Nearly every q3 engine based game ships with both tga and jpg textures.
Including q3 itself.
