just some baic questions needing aswered about gtk

[blood2.0]

i have got fairly descent at gtk just takes lots of time to learn but i have a few questions? some complex some simple
simple:
1. to make cool textures on walls that don't stick out of the wall should i make a box there choose my texture then use gtk subtract or is there another way that lags less?
2. how do i make round things like pipes
complex:
1. how do i change a .map to a .pk3 please do not give me links to Google there is to much spam to find anything.
2. how do i make my own textures and put them in gtk?

"Complex"
1. go to http://tremmapping.pbwiki.com/Starting+Tremulous+Mapping
then scroll down untill you see "Layout of the PK3"
you dont put the .map into pk3 you put .bsp into it
2. im not sure about making it so that gtk will load the textures but i think you go to tremulous/base/textures then make a folder then put them in there then reload GTK if its allready open

sry about 1 being unclear i ment that if you make a wall using one texture and you wont to add a fan texture do you make a box and use gtk subtract or is there another way like the don't the wall but you don't wont it sticking out tail tools. and if so were is that?
and where is the cylinder tool and how do i use it

Go read a basic tutorial on making maps for Quake 3. Seriously. These questions are nowhere near the questions one should post here.

How do you layer textures on wa;lls, like a background, and trims, and any lights?

Do you creatre v.thin brushes, whats the secret.

Use that to request a tutorial when you're wondering about something that you can't find with ease and use fully spelled english.

Firstly, try never to use subtract, it will always cause you more harm than good.  If you want a patch in the middle of the wall that is a different texture,  you could make a very thin brush and have it sitting ontop (be sure to make the brush 'detail'), but the nicer solution would be to have it in line with the wall, and remake the wall to be four (or so) brushes which fit around the new bit.

Oh and pipes are made from 'Patches', which are basically single sided objects that can be curved. in the menu you can create basic flat patches or cylindrical ones, the latter is what you'll use for your pipes.
