Quick Renegade Modding Question...

[ßúrn 0]

Hey, I know C&C Renegade has a dying community (sad), but I'm still interested in modding the games engine. I'd like to make a mod for personal experience, and I might end up sharing it with a few people anyway when I'm done. I decided to come here because this seems like the only place where the last scrap of the Renegade community lies.

 

OK, so here's my problem-

 

I'm trying a tutorial right now, but I can't even get past step 1. I'm trying the tutorial AircraftKiller made, (It's here-> http://www.cncden.com/ren_map_tutorial.shtml) And, I've followed all instructions carefully. I've also completed the Official Renegade Map Tutorial successfully. However, I've come to a dead end on this tutorial- and only on the first step!

 

When I open RenX, and I merge the mgcon_ext.gmax file in, I get absolutley no textures. Though, I get the model/mesh. I viewed my material editor, and it appears that I have all of the textures in there, with their names and everything- though in the texture preview (little squares on the left) it's all blank. And, just to let you know, I downloaded the buildings.zip file and all of the textures it told me to.

 

My question-

 

I've obviously set my directories up all wrong. I've tried several variations to try to get the textures to appear- but no luck. Now, can someone please clarify to me how I properly set up my directories to get the textures to work, or better yet, where they go.

 

Any help is appreciated, and thanks for your time!

Well I'm not sure if there are any Renegade modders here. I guess the best thing to do would be to ask Aircraftkiller for help with his tutorial.
