ok i have my textures except i cant make my png images show up on them can some 1 help?

textures are png images...
what are you trying to do? posting the object on which you want to put a texture on is more helpful

moved to mapping help.

i want the box to have a png on it

then it has to be a meshbox, and you set it's material using matref.

i have all of that

here this is my box/material

meshbox
position 184 110 10
size 80 10 2
matref danger material
end

material
name danger material
texture tadd_hazard_stripe
addtexture tadd_hazard_stripe
# notextures
# notexcolor
# notexalpha
texmat -1
dyncol -1
ambient 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
diffuse 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
color 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0
specular 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
emission 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
shininess 0.0
resetmat
end

Firstly, don't put spaces in your material names.

Secondly, the material needs to come before the meshbox.

Thirdly, you don't need these since they are all defaults:

• dyncol, texmat, ambient, diffuse, color, specular, emission, shininess, resetmat,

Finally, you only need either texture or addtexture - but not both.

Fifthly, put in the full path or URL to the texture.
In your code above, you trying to use a non-standard texture, so it'll have to be hosted somewhere online - preferably on images.bzflag.org but this isn't a necessity - and the full URL should be used in the material code.

so i host it and put the url link in the addtexture right

I have this now but still no success

material
name danger_material
addtexture http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t157 ... ard_stripe
notextures
notexcolor
end

meshbox
position -184 -110 10
size 80 10 2
matref danger_material
end

add .png to the end of the texture url.

Take out notextures and noalpha too.

And you'll need to modify the DownloadAccess.txt to be able to view those images in the client...

it says cannot load texture filename
