Maybe its GtkRadiant playing up then, because when I create a map 
with it using nice big 256x256 24-bit textures, they are all 
buggered up when loaded in game.  Ah well...

I was actually thinking of using the Q2 codebase for making a 
fresh new game (not just a mod) - it was going to be a third 
person jump-n-run RPG action adventure similar to Zelda.  But 
I've decided that I'll just wait for the Quake 3 code release 
instead and work with that.
