You dont need it. Bring down your counsole and type "editor" without the " marks. A better way of doing it is to make a shortcut and editing the target line. If you want to know how to do that let me know.......hmmmm maybee another tutorial comming up

It should work with both Nvidia and Ati however I havent tested it. You can be my test rabbit.

If your getting the blocking texture then that tells me that the game knows it needs to use a custom texture there but it is not being lead in the right place.

I would double check your material file and also your folder structure.

also some normal textures in quake 4 itself give me blocks.. the common textures work all fine

Also remember that quake 4 and doom 3 are very picky when it comes to folder paths. If you have a "Textures" folder instead of "textures" folder then its not gonna work etc......
