"You will use buildWad from a dos prompt. Navigate to your mod directory, this should be located the v12 root, such as torque/arena. Then assuming your textures are in the textures sub-directory, activate the tool by typing "buildWad textures textures.wad" then enter. This should process all the .png format files in the target directory and create a "textures.wad" file in the current mod directory."
i did this
C:\torque\example\fps> buildWad fps fps.wad then i got this
Bad command or file name

And finally, you don't want to let buildwad run over the whole "fps" dir anyways... put your textures in a specific folder and let buildwad scan that...
hm, your .plan says you want to add a new shading system, bumpmapping etc. to the engine... and write a level design tool... interesting... good luck with that ;)

Well, first of all buildwad.exe has to be in your PATH to use it this way... then, if you ARE already in "fps" you can't tell buildwad to use that directory to process (you have to be one directory above the directory containing the textures...)And finally, you don't want to let buildwad run over the whole "fps" dir anyways... put your textures in a specific folder and let buildwad scan that...
