Rain and Snow Effects

I have been following this tutorial: holodeck.st.usm.edu/vrcomputing/vrc_t/tutorials/effects/p1_rain_snow.shtml trying to get the snow and rain to work in torque.

I was able to get everythign working but the textures. Right now I have a mission that loads with a bunch of white cards just falling out of the sky. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. I followed the tutorial exactly and I still get nothing. I tried different formats, directories, and even computers.

Does anyone have any advice. I am sorta stuck.
