If you want to mirror-image a texture, open the Texture Application Tool, and set the Scale to a negative number.

What do you mean by "wrong faced"?

Hey I got the same problem. What I did was making the image mirrored using Photoshop haha that didn't work perfectly though

@edan: can you tell us the exact negative values to set. to both X and Y. I tried a lot but it didn't do the job :S

The scale on textures changes how they are "stretched". If you change the X-scale to 2, the texture will be twice its original length along the X-axis. If you set the scale to negative 1 the length will be negative 1. "What the fuck does that mean?" you ask. It means the texture is stretched is the opposite direction, making it mirror image.

Follow this logic to mirror image your textures in whatever direction and size you want.

Pardon my n00bness. It didn't work

I first tried setting the values then applied the texture, no result. *undo* Then applied the texture, selected it and tried setting the values both failed

I want to apply a decal to my map (A decal with text) to be displayed on walls at both ends of the map.

When applied to one end it shows perfectly, at the other end it is shown mirrored. I need this mirrored decal (texture) to mirror again so that it'll become readable.

It is like this

Ahh... Decals are not the same as textures. I suggest you open the original picture of the decal in Paint and flip it there. Then add the backwards decal to your WAD using Wally.

simple rotate the one so the face on the wall is in the place of the one on showing

There's a flip option in a menu somewhere. Come on now - two minutes in paint would have gotten that information.

Select everything, Image->Flip/Rotate. I think that's it.

Then you are flipping in the wrong axis. of evil.

The "flip horizontal" option is selected by default. Why'd you change it?

Also, don't edit questions instead of an old post, I won't see that you posted the new question.

Ya, okay. Thanks guys! I guess it's up to me to get the b site mark right=)! Because you've probably explained it all allready.
