Mechcommander 2 texture problems
I seem to have run into a problem during one of the later Liao missions in vanilla, Mechcommander 2. On loading the mission map I get a stop saying it can't find texture "mc2_16.water0016.tga"
It asks for the cd (which i don't have). I've tried looking on the interwebs but haven't noticed anyone talking about this problem or a solution. If I copy a random texture and rename the copy to this exactly I get a crash asking for "mc2_16.water0017.tga". If I create that as well then it goes to 18. I have no idea how long this will go on so rather than spend the next 3 evening renaming files indefinitely I wonder if someone has these files in their system already and would be willing to send me all the water textures in a zip attachment.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Mechcommander 2 texture problems
Your textures.fst file is corrupted, those files should be inside.

If you have MCO take from water0000 to water0015 from any mission and rename.

Sometimes when you download files, some of them may become corrupt. If that's the case, simply download again and reinstall game. That should fix all problems.

Rename how high? Mine are starting at 16. Does that mean I need to rename water0000 to 16 and go all the way up to 30?

EDIT: Not enough. I went up to 31 and used all the textures but its still asking for more. Guess its time to make copies.
The thing I don't understand is that there are NO other textures in there at all. These are the first textures to be put in, in fact there wasn't even a texture folder until I copied it across shortly after finding this problem. Why would this problem come up now of all times? I'm at least 15 missions into the game without any prior problems.

EDIT2: This is insane. I am up to 47 and its now asking for 48. Is anyone able to check their files and figure out how high I need to go?

You only need water0000 through water0016.
Something has gone wrong with your install or your downloaded mc2 is not good.

Copy saved games then redownload and reinstall.
