Well... I have one question:
Is it important to put textures and effects (ani, pcx, tga, jpg, dds) in the right folder (maps / effects), or can I put all these files in ONE of the two folders?
I'm asking because I'm confused with all the shinemaps / glowmaps / particle-anims etc.

All the stuff that goes onto the ship (textures/shinemaps/glowmaps, etc), goes into textures.

All the effects, like thruster glows, particles, etc, go in effects.

Yes it is important :p

The folder's name is 'maps', not 'textures'.

shinemaps = maps
glowmaps = maps
particle-anims = effects

It is pretty important, esp if you have two images with the same name. It's also a lot cleaner.

Although to be honest, you can throw pretty much everything in 'data' or the root FS2 directory and be done with it. :p
