Just a simple job to anyone who opens up photoshop or whatever and doesnt really know what to do.

situation: I have stairs with border textures on the sides a main texture in the middle.  thus, steps take 3 brushes instead of 1.  And I have quite a few steps.

mission: Given the texture names, lenght, and scale, create a single texture from which I can use.

http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/b53afbdb/bc/Nick%27s+stuff/__hr_8117.jpg?BC1Wjb_ApLKhvUV

the border texture is TNNL_FLR1A (scale 0.50 0.50) the center texture is e6tekmtlrflr (scale 1.00 1.00) and the last texture is grate_stairs (scale 0.50 0.50).

The second and third textures can be found here:

thanks,

I uploaded to angelfire (yuk... :redface: ) cause I know that it works from there.  As for my pit, everytime I upload something .ZIP and .JPG it says "cannot upload file".  But for now, as long as the links work..

thanks for the offer Orph.

Quite honestly, if i were you Wild Card, I wouldn't shy away from this and try and get someone else to make the texture; it sounds like an excellent project for getting acclimated with a photoediting program. You already have all the sources and the vision for how it should turn out, and there's not going to be any hand drawn parts, so the difficult stuff's already over.

Also, I'm wondering why you're deciding to put a texture from the Halflife.wad online... Surely whoever works on it has it already...

its cause the other 2 textures are evil's textures.

Anyways, I would like to give a try to basic texture creation/modification, but I only have paintbrush and wally.

I dont have none of this adobe or photoshop stuff you guys talk about.

About the original question though, never mind, it took me a while, but I had fun making the texture in paint, and pasting it into Wally.

Post the results, I'd like to see what you where going for :smile: .  

 

Edit:   Just a suggestion, if you want to buy a program to edit images in buy photoshop elements ($40 or so, shoot I have 3 copies from various products I bought, lol), it has most of photoshops tools and abilities and works great for texture creation and editing.   (or just talk to orpheus :wink: )

Not a bad choice for a combination.   Good job for a first edit.
