Texturing, Swaping out old for new.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Example of what I am meaning to do:
download this zip file it has a ground1_6.tga
now place this texture in:
.../textures/e1m1

now load up e1m1 and go down the lift at the start. The ground should look like it's covered in snow.
However all other maps that have ground1_6 on them also will NOT have the replacement texture. This didn't edit the bsp at all, I simply created a tga, placed it in that folder and done. No need to open the map itself except to get the texture extracted.

oh this very strange.

It worked, so thank you very very much. Only thing is i made the exit sign blue. and instead it flipped it upside down.

Oh! the ground tga worked perfectly. So if i wanted to change it id just change it back to a bmp, edit it, then change it back to a tga?

Don't even need to change it to bmp. Get a graphics program that supports tga, it's a standard format now so almost every graphics editor will support it.
I recommend Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro (I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7)

Here's a free editor:

As per the snowy ground. It's just a example. If you don't want the snowy ground - just delete the tga. I just did that quickly to show you how to replace a texture using Darkplaces on a specific map only WITHOUT editing the map itself.
