Making a new Texture and Using it

[Venus6001]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to make a texture in photoshop 6 please? I want to make some nice gothic textures, since I can't find any.

If anyone knows where I can find textures, please let me know.

I tried to make one of some gothic timber, but it doesn't seem to work, even tho the it is in the texture menu. Also how to get it into the mapper... this is my current map n texture folders

map
sof2\base\maps\mymap\

texture
sof2\base\textures

it comes up in gtk texture menu at the bottom under --- but there's nothing there.

Thanks

Ven
