Alright guys, i havent been here in a while but i need some help. Im currently making a track that is 20 X 15 in terms of Traxx squares. Because of the length the texture will not fit on the texture pasting tool. How do i make it so when i put the part of the texture that wouldnt fit, into the texture tool, the 2 parts will line up? Thanks for any help guys.

Do you mean when paste the custom textures into Traxx? If that's what you mean, then use Slice60 instead.

I got it to where i can open it, but how do i get it to slice the texture? I cant figure it out for the life of me.

Did you use turbo slice (at the bottom of the page)?

So i opened turbo slice, picked where the program was and downloaded the extra file. I locate my texture and put in the 5 digit name and then click Slice it. The black screen flashes for less than a second and disappears. Nothing else happens and i cant find the sliced files anywhere. Help?

Oh, okay. The graphic has to be in 24 bit TGA format. If you have problems with that, then post the image someplace and I'll have a look at it.

Here is the image, i had to convert it to a .bmp because imageshack wouldnt allow me to upload a .tga. If you need it converted, i can email the .tga to you.

imageshack isn't working for me at the moment; I'll try again later.

Slice60 uses a high color image. Traxx uses a low color image.
