Texture Issues Part 2

I am still having issues with putting .jpeg or .jpg into Wally and getting them turned into .wads. Below is a detailed explanation of what I did. Please tell me what I have done wrong.

1) I went to a texture site that I found a link for on this site. But I can't find the link now.

2) I downloaded the .jpeg pictures on to my computer.

3) I opened Wally and copied and pasted like the site told me to.

4) The site told me that Wally would tell me to choose the file type and I'm suppoesed to choose 'Half-Life package'. But nothing like this popped up when I did that.

I really need someone who can give me a full run down on how to take a .jpeg and make it a flippin .wad. None of these links to tuts have been helpful because they expect it to run just the way they describe it. Please help me. Thanks.

I don't use .jpgs with wally. Open the jpgs up in an image converter, make them 256-colour bitmaps, then import those into wally.

Can you give me a link to an image converter?

Open your Jpegs in Wally, then go File -> New, choose Half-Life Package (wad) and then Copy-Paste all your pictures into the wad and save it.

www.irfanview.com is the best one around. Freeware too.

Use its batch function to convert a large number of JPEGS to 256-colour bitmaps in one time !

Thanks guys you solved everything.

You guys didn't mean you can't use JPEGs now did you? Because all you need to do is the following:
1. Create a new WAD
2. Click "Package" in the menu and then "Add Images"
3. Select a source directory (wherever your JPEGs are located)
4. Use * as your wildcard as this will select everything located in the folder.
5. Check "Open Package"
6. Punch go!!!1111!11!111

i was about to say much the same thing..

if the original jpg was good enuff to convert, then it is also good enuff to use, unconverted :biggrin:

wally is versatile, it can handle many formats..

and this is one case where i do not recommend using XAT, unless you know exactly how to use it (which i do) else it will optimize it into uselessness for textures :sad:

i don't feel the blue answers are a good representation of this question.. correct yes, but VERY biased against doing it other ways.

[edit] how does one become a deleted user lep?

I agree, I didn't really give a solution.

soz orph.
