.:Making Your Own Texures.:. Bit of Help

[Neurological]

Yes i did also the specular, in your case for the grass you don't need a specular I think, it would make it looks weird.

Btw the material won't show up in the static objects if there isn't a model using that texture. But if you need just to make a floor with that texture you don't need a model, you can use the primitives.

On the right in the map editor there is the Primitiv buttn, thats allow you to draw a plane in your map where you can add a material. Draw the plane, then select it and on the right change properties.
