Usurpo Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hey guys, Usurpo here with yet another screwy error. This time, it involves a patch mesh. I tried creating one out of a brush, but it just turns red! No texture! I tried inverting it, but the red just went away! If I de-seclect it and try to re-seclect it, it won't show. What am I doing wrong, and how can I create a successful path mesh? UPDATE: Not unly patch meshes, but any kind of curves! Eek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeV1589 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 shift+s instead of just S to texture and modify the texture of a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usurpo Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Tried it, mate. Not working...Its not just a patch mesh, but any curves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WadeV1589 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 screenshot of the problem please and screenshot of when you make a patch (or curve being the same thing) and press shift+s. the amount of times i've heard ppl say there's a problem when there isn't about patches is amazing.

Usurpo Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Where can I upload a screenshot? And as I said, its not just Patch Meshes. Cylinders also are frizing on me...I try to open a new map and create a cylinder out of a 52x52x52 cube, it turns into a red cylinder. No texture. When I click elsewhere to unselect it then try to re-select it, it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usurpo Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 That shows me making a 52x52x52 square and texturing it with the first texture under 'Bounty'. I then hit 'Cylinder' under the curves option, and that is what I got. As soon as I clicked my mouse (see location on pic) the cylinder dissapeared, and could not be re-selected.

WadeV1589 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Have you got patch meshes set to be invisible, I know you said you can re-select or I think I know you said but go into the View menu and check. If you're having major problems re-selecting visible meshes then totally uninstall and re-install Radiant. I have had that problem before and I never found out how to fix it, but a clean install got it working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usurpo Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wadya know, LiLKilla was right! Its the dreaded CTRL+P ... thing. Thanks for all the help, guys, I really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Killa Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 ctrl+p is the shortcut for hiding/showing patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJedi Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Many peoples have that problem. I had it with models, every time I hear a problem like this I say "You filtered it out so it doesn't show.." sadly. LK beat me to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LK beat me to it about a month after I started mapping I learned how to use detail brushes and I loaded my map up to find half of the brushes MISSING! I totally freaked out until I went on a forum and found out I had filtered them out ^_^" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauser Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Filter is actually a fantastic tool. Especially when you get into the more complex maps with lots of terrain and models. You made a func_breakable out of a corner piece of wall or maybe a piece of rock? Filter entities...now you can texture the caulked area without moving the breakable entity. That goes for ANY entity.

EvilJedi Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 And my map is so big it's lagging Radiant, it's sooooo slow. I just filtered entities, models and lights and now it's like before. It is a fantastic tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauser Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Originally posted by zag i use H H=hide:D Yeah I don't recommend this function. If you forget what you've hidden it can become a problem. Besides you have to physically select an item to hide it. If you are doing something in the immediate vicinity then yes, otherwise I don't find it very useful.
