Texture Folder Structure

This is the new folder structure for textures as of June 07.

Most folders have a subfolder for textures that tile in only one direction (tiling_1d) and textures that do not tile at all (nontiling).

textures/darkmod/carpet

Regular tiling carpets go under main folder.

carpet/rugs (are not expected to tile)

carpet/runners (are expected to tile in only one direction--include end pieces)

textures/darkmod/decals

decals/blood (bloodstains, blood smears, bloody footprints, etc)

decals/dirt (for dirt, grime, mud, stains)

decals/symbols (magical symbols, signs, graffiti, arrows)

decals/vegetation (leaves, scattered straw, ivy, weeds)

textures/darkmod/door

door/metal (any doors that are primarily metal)

door/metal/bars (for door or gate textures with bars)

door/wood (regular board or panel doors)

door/wood/ornate (rich, mansion-type doors)

textures/darkmod/map_specific

For textures that are needed for specific maps that aren't appropriate for the regular folder structure, like cubemap reflections or LOD shots. Each map should have its own subfolder.

map_specific/bonehoard

map_specific/mansion_alpha

etc.
