How to Wrap Textures in UnrealEd
One of the great features of the UnrealEd level editor is the ability to add custom textures to the static meshes that come with the game. Many first-time level editors run into problems, however, when the texture they want to apply only fills one side of the static mesh they wish to edit. By using graphics editing software, you can ensure that the texture you created for your static mesh is the perfect size and will wrap around all sides of the static mesh that you created.

1
Open the static mesh's default texture in an image editing program. Many textures are in bitmap format, which you can open with Microsoft Paint. However, some are in formats that Microsoft Paint cannot read, such as PC Paintbrush (.pcx files) or Truevision TGA (.tga files) format. If the file type is incompatible with Microsoft Paint, use a different image editor, such as Adobe Photoshop or Corel PaintShop Pro.
