Zdoom doesn't like my texture

[MrChef2233]

Hi. I have encountered something that doesn't work properly. I have a texture that shows up completely fine in DB2 :



However when played in zdoom ([2.5.0] latest development version) it doesn't show up with the texture and all I get is a HOM :




Can somebody please tell me what is going on. It is really bugging me and I don't know how to fix it.

You should check out the TEXTURE1, and TEXTURE2 files Inside your WAD and see where your custom texture is. Maybe Something might reveal there.

I don't know why it wasn't working but I deleted the texture and redid it and voila:

Sometimes, random geometry goofs will make the engine look at your map funny. Not sure if it's a DB2 problem, but at least deleting and redrawing the areas in question can fix it. I've had to do that on a couple occasions, one of which messed up quite badly.

Well it happened again but on a different texture, which was on the top of the list in my TEXTURE1. Everytime I fixed it a new one would occur

Ah, in that case you need a dummy texture up there, for historical reasons.

[MrChef2233]

Do you mean like the texture AASHITTY or something like that

[NeuralStunner]

Yup. Make one and leave it there. (Hacx calls it "AARDVARK", amusingly.) "AAAAAAAA" would work just as well.

You, could call it ZEBULON and it'd work too. Id's tool chain automatically sorted the textures by names, so they started the dummies with a double A to keep them in first place; but if you're not sorting texture names in that way, anything works.
