A rollingball has alot of textured faces ( that wired squares bla bla ).

Its better always to extract the texture face. Hold Ctrl, left click on the textures of the rollingball, the stripx will find its original texture that was applied. Now press Export, the size of the texture part is now good to see, open the bmp and look. Now if you want another texture then modify this texture bmp. Never make the size bigger or smaller, the way you export must be the same size when yu import. After you changed ( from brown to green ) the texture, save the bmp and then go to stripx again, ctrl+click on the texture face if you lost where it was, now press import and select your modified bmp which you had extracted. Now all similar faces will change into this green texture.

Lookie down here

ok.....pic 1 and 2 bmp number not the same cause there from different wads but i did used export,import the same bmp file.
Expiriment, ow and dont forget to create backup of your wad before editing something and and sometimes have to rotate the textures to make them fit correct...

Then i save it as BMP then load it up in Strpix. But the textures are still blury. i have edited other objects this way and they worked fine but it's this object the colours go blury. ne ideas?

Did you first exported the surface you wanted to texture as bmp ?

Let me understand this... You said you saved a tga file, opened it with paint and saved as bmp, thats not correct. You can only modify the exported bmp, so you have to use cut/paste. to transfer from your fav texture tga to xxx.bmp
Then you save the xxx.bmp and then import it by selecting the spike area texture of the rolling ball.

Example..
export "spiked area" texture of rolling ball, it will be saved xxx.bmp ( xxx = numbers ) lets say its 123.bmp, now...

Open this bmp file, you'll see that the size of the texture isnt big. Now load your fav texture in a new mspaint window, Now you gotta use some cut and paste. What ever you do all work must be put into 123.bmp. Then you save 123.bmp and load that up in stripx.

Hope you can get it right now.. if still fuzzy explanation i wrote ( my english isnt that great ) i can post some pic step by step...
