> Use mat master to un-compile a mat file and look at it. Most walls consist of 4 bit maps (standard format bmp's). Each bmp is the same texture, but a different size with each one being half as big as the previous bmp (i.e.: 256x256, 128x128, 64x64 and 32x32). There is also a .mtm file that lists the order for the bmps. Each different size bmp is used when looking at a texture from different distances. I just take the original and resample it (or shrink it down) to each subsequent size.
> Just create your own 4 bmps and make a .mtm file just like the other, then compile it to a mat file with Mat Master. Copy the mat file to your project directory and jed will see it. It is possible to use less than 4 bmps. JK will automatically use the best available. If you use less than 4 bmps, the level will run slower.

> Things to check:
> Make sure your mtm file lists the correct files in the correct order.
> Is the surface you are using adjoined to another? If it is, try it on a different surface.
> If all this fails, go ahead and e-mail me the mat and I will take a look at it.
