You can upload .bmp, .jpg, .tga, and .png. But avoid .jpg because it is lossy format and your texture won't look as good in-world as in your graphics program.

See the big orange sticky entitled Texture Size, Pixel Counts, Video Memory, and File Formats ? Read it. I realize your main question here was already answered by Rooke, but seriously, read the sticky. In addition to covering the question you asked, it also answers questions you don't yet know you're gonna have. Can i open vector .eps in Adobe Illustrator then save it as a .tga for use in the game? Sure, but you'd be better off doing it in Photoshop. Illustrator's approach to TGA export varies from version to version. In some versions, its behavior is a little funny. _____________________
