hey i've been trying to get custom textures to work ingame. now i put them in the base/textures/my map folder, and have them as an appropriate size and file (tga) and it works in radiant, but when i put it in the pk3, it still doesn't show. it gives me a texture/mymap/texture has light, but no light map stage! error. what am i missing? i have it in a pk3 so its not like its not finding the texture, its just missing this lightmap stage thing. what must i do? thanks in advance

Check your shader file. You are missing a lightmap stage from your shader, or another custom shader.

thanks that solved that, but now it wont find the texture :\ okay its saying theres a missing texture. cannot find texture/rtc/sun even though i have it in my base/textures/rtc folder and it works in radiant

textures/rtc/sun
{
qer_editorimage textures/rtc/sun.tga
surfaceparm nodamage
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm nonsolid
cull disable
q3map_surfacelight 70
{
map $lightmap
}


{
map textures/rtc/sun
blendfunc add
rgbGen identity
tcMod rotate 90
}
}

thats my .shader file text. and its all put in the pk3 and set. i heard .shader files go into the scripts section not shader section if that'd cause it. should i put the texture for sun in the shader folder of the pk3? is that whats goofing me up?
