Making 32-bit non-shader water textures in DP?

[MaxLuna]

Hello all

Just had a quick question in regards to making 32 bit water textures in quake. In Darkplaces I understand you simply name your tga or JPG texture the same as the the wad name and dump it in the /textures folder and presto.

However I was curious as how you make a water/lava/slime texture. For example the name of a texture in quark's texture browser is "*water". Windows does not allow you to put a "*" in a file name, so I cant get my 32-bit water to show up ever.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thank you!

The standard is to replace the '*' with a '#'.

Thanks a lot!

Works like a charm

I am still stumped with the sky texture however, is there anything special for that or is a skybox or shader required for that as well?

thanks for your help so far MH

I've tried using #sky_testsky.jpg #sky#_testsky.jpg and simply sky_testsky.jpg, is there another filename variant that can read the jpg as the actual sky texture?

a little stumped here I suppose.

Doesn't seem to be anything special for them. In my .../quake/id1/textures folder I have:
sky1.tga
sky1_alpha.tga
sky1_solid.tga

Alpha is the clouds, solid is the sky behind them.
The sky1.tga is both of them together side by side.
