SP/MP Shader Went Where?

[RichDiesal]

Odd thing happened... I created a shader for a light emitting texture that I needed and the strange thing is that it works in SP but not in MP... even though I made it with MP entities.

 

Any particular reason that this might happen?

 

The shader is rather simple:

textures/duel_kamino/light_panel

{

qer_editorimage textures/duel_kamino/light

q3map_surfacelight 3000

{

map $lightmap

rgbGen identity

}

{

map textures/duel_kamino/light

blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO

rgbGen identity

}

{

map textures/duel_kamino/light_glow

blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE

}

}

Not sure this is it, but try putting TGA extension after texture names.

 

textures/duel_kamino/light_panel

{

qer_editorimage textures/duel_kamino/light

q3map_surfacelight 3000

{

map $lightmap

rgbGen identity

}

{

map textures/duel_kamino/light.TGA

blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO

rgbGen identity

}

{

map textures/duel_kamino/light_glow.TGA

blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE

}

}

 

You said it's not working. But in what way? It doesn't emit light or what?

[RichDiesal]

The shaders show up as that damn white/black crisscross grid in MP but look perfect in SP...

 

If the extension were causing the problem, wouldn't that make it screw up in SP too?

 

The map is designed with MP entities too, I can't figure out what is wrong... (this is for duel_kamino btw, if you look in the screen I posted in that topic, those lights come up as crisscrossed nothing, although they still emit light).

Try it w/ the extensions, and get back to us.

 

*edit*

 

Did you type 'sv_pure 0' before you loaded up your map?

 

It just hit me that that's probably your problem.

Heck I dunno Just guessing. The only other reason I can think of, is that somehow your shader is not being read by the SP game. . Maybe adding it to pk3 will help.

[Cmdr. Antilles]

DON'T add it to any of the pk3's that came w/ the game.

 

NEVER DO THAT. You should never modify any pk3's that came w/ the game.

 

Try the sv_pure 0 thing... I think that's it.

 

Because, the pure server must be turned off in MP for it to load custom textures not in a .pk3 file. However, since SP doesn't have to worry about servers, it doesn't care if they're pakked up or not.

[RichDiesal]

Didn't work... I did add sv_pure 0 and did change the shader, but no dice.

 

For a visual:

 

In SP Game: http://web.utk.edu/~rlanders/duel_kamino_prototype.jpg

 

In MP Game:

You can see that the shader is working (there is light coming from them) but the texture isn't showing up...

I meant different new custom pk3.

 

Just for the record, hehe.

 

EDIT:

 

a question? Did you create new shader file for this or just added to the existing one?

[RichDiesal]

Brand new shader file... I have two shaders in the same file (this and a skybox), actually... duel_kamino.shader (and yes, I added it to the shaderlist).
