Next we open up Notepad and write one line:

texture aluminum.tga

and that's all! Choose File, Save, and when you type in the filename, put quotes around it like so:

"aluminum.nam"

or else Windows will write the file as aluminum.nam.txt because it assumes you are saving the file as text and adds the .txt extension. The quotes keep Notepad from doing that.

This part can be rather tedious if you have as many textures as I do. That's why I wrote my NAMtool program. It does all the dirty work for you. You can find NAMtool in Tools. Please read the text file before use.
