| I'm working on some external textures right now, and I can't seem to get them to appear in-game for testing purposes. I made a "textures" directory in my "data1" directory, and all my texture files are appropriately scaled, in pcx format, and use the original texture names. Am I doing something wrong or just forgetting something simple? I'm a little new at modding on this engine. Thanks in advance.

to get external Textures working ingame, you must have the corresponding .wal file for each Texture in your \data\textures Folder. The wal files are stored inside the .bsp; do the following steps, to get them:
1. Extract the .bsp from the Level you are working on from the Hexen II Pak file with a Pak utility (Pakexplorer etc.)
2. Download the uqetools from Korax' Download Section
3. Put all Files in a Folder, open up a Console Window and type: uqehx2bsp -onlytextures yourbspfile.bsp
This will extract all .wal Files from the bsp. I know, it's quite inconvenient but once you got the wal files from all Levels, you don't have to worry about them anymore.

Thanks, that did it!
I was having problems on the syntax for the switches (I'm not too savy on that kinda stuff), and it kept deleting my bsp files and giving me errors, so I eventually gave up on the whole project completely. But that syntax worked and now that I'm able to test my textures as I make 'em, I plan on eventually redoing most if not all of 'em. I'll be sure to share my progress once I've got enough stuff to show for completed.
