[SOLVED AGAIN] Another simple question about TEXTURE

[Endie]

So, i was trying to adjust the scope graphic to my sniper rifle, and used the TEXTURE lump to adjust offsets and stuff.

Here is the part where my question is:

Code: Select all

Sprite M98BA0, 480, 260
{
	Offset -160, -20
}

Right, and now there's the sprite itself

M98BA0.png

my problem is, my graphic just don't show up when i aim with the weapon, i don't know why, it's just like the graphic don't exist in the game.
and no, the problem isn't in the weapon code, i've checked just before posting here

Your TEXTURES entry doesn't specify a patch. The way I'd do this is put your actual scope graphic in the /graphics folder, then add it as a patch in the TEXTURES entry thusly:

Code: Select all

Sprite M98BA0, 480, 260
{
   Patch SCOPEGFX, 0, 0
   Offset -160, -20
}

Oh, i see. Thanks Wildweasel

...in the /graphics folder...

Shouldn'Ät it go into the "/patches" folder? That one sounds like it's the correct one for patches other textures are built of.

idk why this post is here, maybe a glitch or whatever, ignore this

To answer the question, yes, it should go into 'patches'.
The various subdirectories have special meaning when texture priority is important. And yes, some people have experienced problems when they did not do it right. A patch in 'patches' is guaranteed to have lower priority than the other texture types so it won't get in the way, e.g. when a patch has the same name as the texture that uses it. In the other directories all bets are off and you can end up with the wrong texture being picked, based on context.
