I'm having a bit of trouble with texture mapping.
  I can do flat coloured models no problem, whenever I load a textured 
object in the texture is not displayed and it just seems to show a 
random area of the frame buffer, at the moment it seems to like showing 
miniature copies of bits of the screen display which is a nice effect, 
but not really what I'm trying to do.
  I've assigned the texture to the model with RSDTOOL, after converting 
the texture to tim format.  i load the texture in to normal memory and 
use a function to load the texture to video mem pretty mutch as in pete 
passmore's tutorial.
  Has anybody else had this trouble?  I presume its a memory address 
problem, as the texture flicks across the screen once in the first frame 
of running and then it textures with a copy of the screen.
  If any body has any ideas or thinks uploading the code would help 
please reply.  Should I be doing something with timtool to place the 
texture in video memory?

Anyway  Thanks in advance

Steve
