Been gone for a long time, need help with GTKRadant 1.6

(sadsack) #1

Hello all,
Well I am retired now and going to start making ET Maps. I found this 1.6 radiant and downloaded it.
I got it set up with et and can save maps in et main/maps. I can compile the maps. I use q3map2toolz
to run the map. I use the dev button. When the map come up I can move around in it as a spectator.
When I press L to pick sides It lock up the computer. Have anyone had this problem be for? If so how do I fix it.

The next thing I need to know where does 1.6 keep it textures at. 1.4 used pak0 textures. I put a folder call my textures in pak0 and some of my textures in the folder. I could never get then to show on 1.6.

It feels good to be back, I will have all the time in the world to make maps, well untill I die.
If any one need a 3D model for there map let me know, I been making models for over ten years, for some big names studios. I as been making textures for over ten years.

so maybe I can help you and you can help me.

Hope to see to see you on a ET site, maybe I can kill you ha ha ha

Computer locking up: You are missing the last steps from this tutorial: http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial03.htm
(set the mapcoordsmins and maxs in worldspawn), another way to avoid this is to use the console to join a team (/team b) or update your W:ET install to 2.60 since this problem only occurs on 2.55 (but then you’re map won’t be playable on 2.55 servers so just set the mapcoords :wink:)

Adding textures: Don’t edit pk3 files!
Make a folder in your etmain “textures” make a folder in that “myfirstmap” or something along those lines, put your textures in there. (All textures need to be .jpg, tga 24bit or 32bit for transparency, the size of the textures needs to be a power of two [256x256] or [128x64] for example)

Some info on textures from 2bits tutorials: http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial26.htm

2bits tutorials are a great place to get the basics down: http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial.htm
