Hello Welcome to Zer0's align tut

Ok

First I made a four piece road.. all shaped funky.. As you can see the texture is unaligned

I am going to select the texture align tool

This should bring up a box

There are three important buttions and things.. The rotation buttion. the axis buttion and the scale and justify.

I clicked the first top road piece and moved the rotation to 60 degrees

Then I clicked C

it came out like

For the 2nd piece i moved it to115 and clicked center

For the forth piece I moved it 73 degress when you see something like that in red. Clicked C if its off a little play with the rotation and pieces

Well I already know this... I stumbled upon it when I finally got (what was worldcraft) to work, and so, for my first ever map I aligned the textures. Needless to say the map was bloody ugly due to simple geometry, total lack of design, and it used the HALF LIFE wad. I was also confused back then why monster_rat did NOTHING at all!!

But back to business:

Texture alignment is something that some noob mappers really should learn, just look at some custom maps to see what I mean. Even the doors in the arse ugly CAEN aren't aligned properly.
