and i assume you also have to add the custom textures into your .pk3, right?

Yup, and make sure the directory structure within the PK3 matches what you already have.

A DOS window should pop up and disappear on its own when it is complete.

Well, I only got it a few days ago, and made a simple 3 room level. It takes about 1.5 seconds for each section-bsp vis light.

 

My project settings are correct I think. One of the fields are blank, i think it's the third one (something beginning with r).

I also made sure I don't have \\base, and have \base.

I can't figure out what's wrong... :(

Hey,

Dusty_Miller11, I think it is something to do with func_train or func_plat. Sorry I can't be more help than that, but then-I haven't even got a .bsp or .nav to appear yet!

 

*is embaressed and confused*

 

Rich, I can't find system/cushion or system/trigger anywhere! What is going on... :/

I figured that out to avoid func_trains....

instead of putting the brush at the upper floor in-editor, put it at the bottom, where you want it to go down to. find the height as normal, except you measure up instead of down, and instead of addind, say, 87 for hegiht, you add -87. that makes it go down.

1. You make a box or rectangle surrounding the area you wish to add sky to, you texture the inside faces with the SHADER that shares the similar name to the actually .jpgs. For example, you want to texture a sky with bespin..... instead of texturing the front with bespin_ft, back with bespin_bk, etc.... you textuer them with the shader skies/bespin (shows up as bespi in skies texture list).

2. Shader.

3. Shader.

4. Probably.

hope that helps

:D

Friends,

 

I keep on trying to compile my map using "fastvis1/2" and the process runs. But in the end no .bsp file appears in the maps directory with my other map files. I don't understand what is happening, I never had this problem before. I've saved this particular map under different names and it still doesn't create a .bsp file. I do know that my SECOND other map works fine whenever I compile...But what could be screwing up my first map to prevent it from creating a .bsp?

Ahhh... sorry I haven't been around guys, but I've suddenly been flooded with real-life happenings (such as fall term coming up, applying into my major, old job coming to a close, two new jobs beginning, a high-maintenance girlfriend, etc) and haven't had much opportunity to answer questions... For that matter, I don't even have time now. :D

 

I will get back to you all, don't worry, but for now, I am going on hiatus to my actual life for a week or two. I will be in and out, but don't expect too many quick answers. :D
