Chester_57 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 How do you make a height map with Adobe Photoshop or any other picture editing program to load it up as a .bmp (bitmap) so make a heightmap (and terrain) with EasyGen. And does anybody know how to load it up in GTK Radiant if you did that..? Any tutorials or something like that. Please tell me if you know anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester_57 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Yeah, but i can't get the models in the terrain in EasyGen. Or do i just have to do that in Radiant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dyn4stY™ Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 lol, first you make your terrain in easy-gen, then you export it in the radi; you can put models in the terrain only in the radi *g* And a tip: If you don't see the terrain after in the radi after exporting in there: View -> filter -> detail brushes off/on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauser Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Originally posted by lauser Q3map_surfaceModel PWNZ! Like I said, this is your best option. If you want just a few or even a lot of bushes and/or rocks in your map, add this parameter to your TERRAIN shader file. No fiddling around wasting your time trying to put stupid models that are going to lag your map anyways. Just add this and they pop up all over the place when you get ingame. NO clipping required! Well.....why would you? BTW: I recommend making your own .ase models and then adding them to your shader. But you can add MD3s if you want to...just specify the filetype or radiant wont pick them up.

Chester_57 Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Who knows anything about blended textures? When i use different textures to paint my terrain that i made in EasyGen, i can only choose two things at the end, the bottom/sides, that is the texture of the skybox, which is (in JKA's case) system/caulk and i can set the top, the texture of the terrain. But how can i use the alphamap textures which i just painted the terrains with..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauser Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 The tutorials you guys are refering to should have the attached shader files you need to blend your terrain. YES, you have to make a custom shader to blend terrain using AlphaMOD shaders. If not I will check and post them here later. Okay here is the REAL tutorial: http://www.map-review.com/index.php?page=tutorial_view&id=12 Use this and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
