~Rebel_Monkey~ Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 My textures are showing up as little black boxes with borders around them : http://www.geocities.com/jkiimaps/shot0020.jpg http://www.geocities.com/jkiimaps/shot0021.jpg the textures are the right size (power of 2) (copy the link into your browser, geocities is evil [but free!] ) im going to remove these textures because they are no longer needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 OK, two ways to get them to show up. 1. IN the console, type in sv_pure 0. This makes your server non-pure. Should work. 2. THe BETTER way. Put everything into a PK3. Your map, your levelshot, your textures, EVERYTHING. And make sure that the path doesn't change. ONce those are all in, and the game references the textures from the PK3, they'll show. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Rebel_Monkey~ Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 thank you shadriss, sv_pure 0 works. I can't put it in a pk3 yet because its not finished. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 No prob. I recently had the same issue and ended up figurin' it out meself. And dont worry that it isnt finished yet - I generally use a PK3 format from beginning to end, simply because it's easier to access in-game.

~Rebel_Monkey~ Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 oh really? i'll have to try that... thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well, naturally there is a catch to it - If you REALLY want it to be easy, make sure you include the arena file. If you dont know what that is, take a look at RishDiesel's tuts for MP mapping./ It'll explain it all there. Happy Mapping. Quit yer' yappin' and get to mappin'! ETIINII!

Gohan_Trunksss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Ok, i have this problem now, i got the size right, i tried sv_pure 0 and still border with black boxes with white outline, when i do the bsp all ok jk2radient it says ... WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/skies/stars WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/test/Pic1 Anyone have an idea to help me out here?

Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Ok, Shaders are a little different from textures. They use whats called a .shader script, which, unfortunately, I know next to nothing about. What I DO know is that a shader glows or emits light. Maybe that's what you want to do, but textures are simpler (at this point, anyway). My suggestion would be either to find a thread asking about shaders and shader scripts, or make it into a texture and use a light entity to projet light. Messier, but sometimes, you use what you have... Sorry I couldn't help more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan_Trunksss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 yea all iw ant is a texture, i made the two folders like it said in a manual, base/textures/custom and i put my .jpg texture in the custom folder and it shows up fine on jk2 radient just in play the black boxes and white outline, my picture is the right size that it needs to be..... so im confused whats you way of makeing a texture?

superdude201 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Gohan it does that with me it works fine in radient but when u play the map its a grey and white grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan_Trunksss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 yea it happens a lot i guess but everyone else seemd to get it to work....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude201 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well i haven't and on the outrider prefab i think its good but half of the textures on that don't work so it spoils it . And if u use textures that r already there people say it would have been better with custom textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 As I posted up above, if it's a straight texture you want, ,you have two ways of making it appear in-game. During your map testing phase, you type in sv_pure 0 in the console, making your map non-pure. When you do your final PK3, put the textures into the pk3 in the same path. (ie, if your textures are in base/textures/custom, then in the PK3 you want it in textures/custom, as the base path is assumed). Either of these will get a basic texture into the game.As to the Warnings you got, Gohan, basically it is telling you that you tried to use a texture (I think both of those are from the game itself?) that is a part of a .shader script. So, when the compile process went to look it up, it raised a flag saying HEY! THIS IS A SHADER! Problem is that the way they work is by selecting a specific image to initiate the whole thing, so when you dont choose that one shader, it kinda just goes belly up. If you want to do a stars type texture, ,you'd better use the shader itself (marked by the texture with a white border). A standard texture of stars wont work here, as any pure black background is treated as clear by the engine. Hope that clears up the issue a little bit...

superdude201 Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well that sv_pure doesn't make a difference for me it still has grey and white grid. So if i make it into a pk3 will it definetly so the texture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 It worked for mine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan_Trunksss Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 ok heres a weird thing, it says the stars had a problem cuz it said that warning, but that actually works in game play, i dont know how but it says warning and works, so mainly its just not accepting my custom textures and only accepts textures that are already in the game. ill mess with it for awhile and see what i get, thaks for ur help everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadriss Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Maybe the engine is thinking it SHOULD be a shader, , so it's looking for a lightmap that isnt there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohan_Trunksss Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Yea mabe... do you know how to fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
