Subjective Effect, just to make sure: you have selected 'File --> Import All MatLibs' in the texture browser, yes?
If you have, then you should see -- in the texture browser ('View --> Show Texture Browser), in the 'Textures' tab -- a drop-down list with a huge choise of texture classes. Select any of those, and the textures in that class will be shown in the browser window below.
Do you mean that you've done all this, and still can't see any textures in the browser? If so, then something really weird is going on.

When I first opened the texture tool, I saw things such as HUD, ladder, ladderfont, PS2, particles, and a few others. These all seemed fairly useless, and half of them appeared to be actual arrow icons.
What I was really looking for was something called "Wall textures" or "floor textures", etc. I'll do the loading of the Matlib file tonight to see if I can get more out of it.

Talk about a newbie question - I don't even have the game yet.. (yet....!) I'm so new to editing, I can't edit. Anyway, in my anticipatory reading of the forums, someone mentioned a 7MB limit to the level size for T3. Is this true? That seems smallish to me... I then proceeded to look for a list of known "limits", but came up empty-handed(nothing on the wiki, that I could find easily, at any rate.). So what are some known limitations?

jolynsbass, I think it's too early to say for definite what sort of limits we're dealing with. Until more people run up against problems it's all a bit experimental.
Besides, you should play the game before thinking about anything else...

I remember reading that there was a level limit set during development (7Mb?) but this was artificial due to xbox restrictions. The PC levels could be larger.
Then again, everything gets mixed up in my head like spaghetti.
:rolleyes:

You might be right there - Krypt or Harwin may be able to confirm...

It's true, the 7MB figure has come up several times. If there is indeed such a limit, there isn't much hope of huge levels being constructed, unless the limit can be hacked out somehow.
By the way, I'd say that was a little beyond a newbie question...

Except Krypt did say at some point that they were editing huge levels 3x the size of those in the shipping game.
Of course this was with the version of T3Edit used by ISA, not the one we have.

Aye, there's the rub.
