Custom light shaders and q3map2 ?

(stil) #1

I can’t get these to work! :slight_smile:

Here is my shader.

"
textures/pac_light/pac_light_A
{
//bright white KP light
q3map_lightimage textures/lights/light_c01.blend.tga
qer_editorimage textures/lights/light_c01.tga
q3map_surfacelight 900
surfaceparm nomarks
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
}
{
map textures/lights/light_c01.tga
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
rgbGen identity
}
{
map textures/lights/light_c01.blend.tga
blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
}
}
"
It’s just a quick copy of a rtcw light shader. I needed to adjust the brightness manually.
Anyway, this light texture works normally with vertex lit levels, but not in lightmapped q3map2 levels. I get the dreaded grey/black lines missing texture image slapped onto the light faces, instead of the light texture ?

The shader is listed in shaderlist.txt …and, yeah, I have no idea what else to check at the mo.

I don’t know if you’ve checked this but are the images in the correct paths as defined in your shader?

Wel, they are id’s default paths, so I’m assuming that they are right :wink:

Try copying the textures to a new folder,
and adjust your shader paths accordingly.

Change texture.blend.tga to texture_blend.tga. The double-suffix can bork the image loader.

did you fix this problem stil ?

Yes, the texture works now :slight_smile:

Here’s the new shader.


textures/pac_light/mylight_A
{
    //bright white KP light
    q3map_lightimage textures/pac_light/mylight_A_blend.jpg
    qer_editorimage textures/lights/light_c01.tga
    q3map_surfacelight 1050
    q3map_backsplash 0.9 20
    surfaceparm nomarks
    {
        map $lightmap
        rgbGen identity
    }
    {
        map textures/pac_light/mylight_A.jpg
        blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
        rgbGen identity
    }
}

I change a few things at once, before I tried a new build. I’m unsure as to whaty exactly the problem was, but I’m happy anyway :>
