This pack for level designers contains invisible textures for each material type supported by Red Faction. The stock game supports 4 (metal, rock, cement, and solid) - this pack contains 10. I've included 2 folders containing variations of invisible textures in the pack - RF1-style, which has an additional 6 in the same style/shape as the stock 4; and RF2-style, which has a full set of all 10 in the style RF2 used (boxes with prefix in the center).

You can choose whichever variant you want, and the installation procedure is the same. When you create a level packfile, if you use any of the 6 that are not included with the stock game, RED will automatically pack them with your map.

To install this invisible texture pack for the RED level editor, follow these steps:

Step 1: Decide if you want traditional RF1-style (diagonal lines), or RF2-style (boxes with material prefix).
Step 2: Extract all .tga files in the folder corresponding to your choice to your RedFaction\user_maps\textures folder.
Step 3: Close and reopen the level editor (via the "Level Editor" button in the Dash Faction Launcher). Open the texture browser and go to the Custom category to find your new textures. You may want to put "invisible" in the filter text box to quickly bring all of them up.

NOTE: To remove these textures, simply remove them from RedFaction\user_maps\textures and restart the editor.
