Texture problems

[Alan E.]

Every time I try to texture a truck in blender It shows up red or pink, I load the texture and everything but when I I go into texture mode the texture never shows up

Make sure you are in edit mode when you texture it, otherwise I have no idea what your problem is.

I don't know how 2.49 works as I use 2.65 and they are quite different, and I'm a relative amateur, but I'll take a swing anyway. Have you assigned the texture to the faces? I noticed when I append/link one of Klayton's crush cars, they show up pink in textured mode until I assign the material with the UV mapped texture to to the faces. Basically I select all the faces (ctrl-a in 2.65) and just click assign in the material tab. If you are using 2.49, the process may be a bit different, but maybe you can get to the same conclusion.

 

Hopefully I didn't cause more confusion than necessary.
