Help, after import my scenery houses to my map, the houses dont have textures they only are white, ¿Why? Tool didn´t ask me to create shaders for models...

did you make shaders for it?

Emmm no :S i don´t know how to add shaders

Just think about this for a moment...
1)Shaders contain the textures/bitmaps for a model
2)You have no shaders

How is it going to apply any texture or coloration to the model...

Don't worry though shaders are easy. If you already have the bitmaps then just create a new shader, link the appropriate bitmap to it. Then open your gbxmodel, scroll down to the bottom and change the shaders there.

Also if you change the name of your textures in max to the name of your shaders, it will automatically apply them when the model is compiled in tool.

Yeah, in your model, make sure you have a material applied with the name of the shader you want. For example, ID 1 could be named cheezburgers. Now you need to make a shaders called cheezburgers and make it have a bitmap. Then when you compile your stuff, it will have the shader and bitmap applied.

how to texture the house in max
1:select parts or the whole thing depending on how many different textures you want
2:cilck material editor(the ball icon on the top)
2:click standard. then multi\sub-object discard old material
3:click on the first material click the browse button next to diffuse select bitmap
4:browse for your .tif bitmap copy the name of your bitmap and cilck open
5: paste the name of your bitmap were it says map#1, click the little checkered board icon and then the (go to parent) the little ball with an arrow
6:do the same thing for material#25
7:cilck and drag at the same time on the material you just made to the part of the model that is selected (1)

and do the same thing if you want to add more textures
then compile the bitmaps
make your shader specify the bitmaps that you just compiled and your done :O and compile your model

¬¬ I know how to add textures or materials to my model, the only problem is ¿How I can compile bitmaps?

Put them in the bitmaps folder under your data folder for your scenery, then in tool, type "tool bitmaps [directory for the bitmaps]"

Thanks, but now the problem is that the model have the saame white and ugly textures, I opened my .bitmap file in guerilla, and when i click the button "Show bitmap" The screen displays, but there is no image in the window. ¿I have to compile with a specific resolution?

yes 512 by 512

Actually you can make them with any power of two dimensions:
2x2
4x4
8x8
16x16
32x32
64x64
128x128
256x256
512x512
1024x1024
2048x2048
etc...

I compiled the Bitmaps! :S but the model still don´t have textures in the map

Even after you compile your bitmaps, you still have to create your shaders.

Lol you totally pasted from one of my posts.

Ok... i create the shaders, and the model don´t have textures yet! :S
