Ockniel Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 can somebody help me with some things? If anyone could help with even one it would help. -I'm making a cave and I tried to put a dirt floor and in the game it looks really bright and no matter what I try it won't get lighted correctly. -I want to know how to make a fire/flamethrower, could any one help or point me to a tutorial?
lukeskywalker1 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Yeah, for some reason the rock textures dont look right, they are super bright, and it looks aweful. You should get the Q3MAP compiler, sorry, i dont have a link. About the flamethrower, is it for a person, or to just site there. i made one for boba fett in singleplayer:
wedge2211 Posted October 8, 2003 Posted October 8, 2003 Here are two possible reasons why your cave floor is overly bright: 1) You have a leak in your map and it's not completing the LIGHT phase properly. Check to see if you have an active pointfile. 2) You're using a dirt shader that has a q3map_nolightmap line. Try using a normal texture instead of a shader.
Ockniel Posted October 9, 2003 Author Posted October 9, 2003 OK, I'm using a "Yavin/dirt1_sprite" but I also have tried "Yavin/gravel" and "Yavin/grass". Im using gtkradiant to make the map but I'm running my bsp in jk2radiant. I'd put a screenshot here but I dont know how to put a picture in a thread. And the fire is for a torch in my map.
lukeskywalker1 Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 The torch is no problem check out this tutorial: http://richdiesal.jedioutcastmaps.com/tutorials/en220lsn2.html
Eldritch Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 You're mapping in GtK but compiling in Jk2 Radiant? Dear God WHY?!
GothiX Posted October 9, 2003 Posted October 9, 2003 WHat have you been smoking? q3map2 >>>>>>>>>>>> SOF2MAP
Ockniel Posted October 10, 2003 Author Posted October 10, 2003 when I compile with gtk it disregards all my lights and just lights everything up really bright but when I do it with jk2radiant it lights everything correctly. I forgot to list this: I want to know how to create a sky shader, can anybody tell me where a tutorial is? I'll put on a screenshot of the dirt if somebody will tell me how.
GothiX Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Use q3map2toolz, gives better control of your compile anyway. And for a skybox tutorial, there's one right here..
Ockniel Posted October 11, 2003 Author Posted October 11, 2003 is that how everyone does it? can't I just write something and tell it to put together some pics of my choosing? but I still need help withe the flamethrower, any takers?
