Go to texture mode and right cklick and: load texture. then load texture  ...... I'm sure you have done this already... If it still doesn't load, go to options, and set DLL folder (the directory where O2 is installed). Hope this works (I had this kind of problem )

The DLL files are like plugins, wich make it possible to load those texture formats...  

[US-Marine]

no it doesn't happen anything , i have set DLL folder and try to load a texture but he dosn't show a failure or a message :-/

[Leone]

Place the textures in your O2 folder.

[US-Marine]

doesn't work :-/

Make sure your textures are in the same folder as your p3d model file.

This folder should also be inside your O2 folder.

ok this works , but the textures are inside instead of outside what i do wrong

If you have the textures on the reverse face to the one required,.........just reverse the faces........Pressing 'W' whilst the face is selected ......I think.

If my memory is faulty someone will correct me I'm sure.

yup "w" reverse's faces

[US-Marine]

hmm dosn't work  :-\  i select a face and load a texture , the texture apears but it stay in the air  , the texture dosn't stay on the model :-\

oK.....here is the way I usually texture a face.
It's been a while, but I think my memory serves me well.

1./  Select the face with the face selection tool.

2./  Press 'A' to enter texture mode.

3./  Draw the rectangle to cover the face you want textured.

4./  Right click the rectangle and choose 'Load Texture'.

5./  Choose the texture you want from the load dialogue.

6./  Press 'B' to map the texture to the face.

7./  Press 'A' again to leave texture mode.

If all went well you should see the face with its texture in buldozer.


Hope this has helped you.

Uh, I though it was A to enter texture mod?

BTW, are you sure the textures are the sizes :
32x32, 64x64, up to 128x128, 256x256, 1204x1204
(In pixels.. You can also have sizes like 64x256 etc, I'm sure)

@DBR_ONIX

You are correct it is 'A'.

I changed my shortcut key for this item, I forgot about that.   ;D

I have corrected my previous post to reflect the correct key.
