Check it out: I got phonged-up metashaded terrain working!

[<EJK>DevMapAll]

Reinstalled...no help there...

 

Do you have the common/terrain texture? Can you send me the image and the common.shader? Is there somewhere to download the 'common/terrain' texture?

[<EJK>DevMapAll]

Hate to double post, but the EXACT line from radiant that includes the error is:

 

WARNING: Activate shader failed for textures/common/terrain

 

Also, I suppose showing everyone what I changed in my .shader might help

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

 

[EDIT]Hmm....it loaded in radiant, but no textures...all of the surface is the 'missing shader' texture...

[rgoer]

I assume you are the dude that emailed me about this? Radiant will never show the true textures for terrain--that's just not the way the Team Arena terrain system works. The terrain entity (really just a func_group) is textured with one texture ("common/terrain")... the compiler does the rest based on your terrain blending .shader definitions and the .pcx alphamap (both of which are defined in the key/value pairs of said terrain entity). You will never see a "true" representation of your terrain's shader blending in the editor, the most you will get is whatever image you defined in common/terrain's qer_editorimage line. If the red and black "shader not found" checkerboard bugs you, feel free to use whatever image you want for qer_editorimage; otherwise, don't sweat it, because it don't mean a damned thing.

Well well...aren't we the professor of mapping. Good to see your ugly mug on the forums man. I don't usually come here much anymore. But I might stop in from time to time. Great tutorials as always rgoer. If anyone should be working for RAVENSOFT or even ID........
