You have to give the textures name a curly bracket before the name of the texture like: {myTexture. I don't know about scrolling ones, I can't think of ever seeing a custom one.

I guess it goes through the steps accurately, but with the picturing you're using, an explanation of how to flatten the texture - eliminating the influence perspective has on the shape of the door - is not only anticipated, it's nearly required.

Also, as a side note: Wally seems to work much better if you change the immage mode to indexed color before saving.

I have tried many times, and wally just doesnt like RGB for pldecal.wad

i got the same pic and made the door, next time put in the tutorial that you should check if the texture is rescaled to the right size, if not wally gets problems wiht it

?Your JPGs need to have dimensions in multiples of 16. This is probably one of the main reasons people find texturing difficult. (i.e. X by Y pixels) if this is not done ? then Wally will not load the JPGs

Nice tut, Matt. It does everything it says on the tin.
Re masked textures - as I understand it, the last (256th) colour in the palette has to be pure blue in order to achieve the desired result, plus, of course, the curly bracket prefix.
