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)

textures/darkmod/map_specific
