Shalone Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Alright... I finally got the map I wanted to compile to compile, and Load, but when it loads all the rooms are Pitch black, and if I look up I get a lag effect of where I see every frame of animation as if it were frozen to the ceiling.. so I went back and made a simple square room.. No lag effect, but the room is still totally pitch black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubris Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 The lack of light is due to a lack of lights, go figure. Right click on the x/y plane, and select light, you'll want a bunch. (Sidenote: Some textures have ambient light effects, but none of those are sufficient to totally illuminate.) The crazy laggy frame issue is simple also. It's because there's nothing in that area, I'm guessing you didn't texture your sky, you need something there or a sky texture . Texturing it will totally fix that.

Darth Draugmahl Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 lol that'll do it everytime. I did it too when I started, no worries. You can compile the map without lighting as well just to test it but it's fullbright and ugly as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalone Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 Just make sure you save the map to base/maps that way it'll compile right.. not that hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsEr-X- Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I do! And it compiles, and then there is no file! And NO errors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalone Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 Do you let it run? now that mine is compiling right, the Dos window sits their for about 4-5 minutes.. while compiling is done, then vanishes... if you click a button everyone stops.

UsEr-X- Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Well its my first time making a map so I followed a tutorial and make a simple "box" map. The compiler pops up for a second and then disappears... Ive checked everything and right now im reinstlaling everything! By the way do you have AIM? It would be a lot easier to talk to you on tha. If so, what is your aim name? Mine is UsEr0OoXoO0. UsEr-X- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalone Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 Thats what was going on with mine at first... but then I switched my maps to be saved in c:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\gamedata\base\maps and everything started working properly. recheck your save spot, alot of people were having this problem.... I am still having the darkness problem, even with lights, I want my level to look like it's in the middle of the day outside.. also how to you get a scrolling paralex sky?

ArmchairAthlete Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Armchair's first map worked the first time he loaded it. Behold MY SINGLE TINY SQUARE ROOM! It even has a whopping 3 weapons lying in the CORNERs! For some reason people don't like tiny square rooms so I'll have to work harder... Eventually I came to know quite alot about Half-Life's WorldCraft map editor and could do quite a bit with it, though I had no server to put maps I'd made on... Maybe I can do something nice with this in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Antilles Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Here's my first JK2 map: http://home.attbi.com/~davidcrivera/images/jk2atat.jpg Okay, so it's converted from EF. I'm hoping to make a cool map out of it. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalone Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 How do I make my room with no darkness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairAthlete Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Try making a light entity with radius 300 and brightness 300 as two of its properties. Worked for me anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Antilles Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 What do you mean, NO darkness? You did put light entities in it, right? And hey, Unikorn! It's Agent007 from the RavenBBS... Some punk stole my username here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
