Easygen problem

(Rob3rt) #1

hi guys,
i am trying to make the terrain for my map using easygen.

The problem is that if i load it into gtk radiant it doesnt get shown.
If i tick the “create skybox” box when saving the terrain, the skybox (calked) get shown in the radiant but not the terrain itself. And if i dont tick this box nothing get shown in the radiant.

I already searched through google and this forum but didnt find someone with the same problem.
Also read about 4 tutorials and watched 2 but i should made everything right! Like in the tuts.

So i tried to load the terrain not in gtk radiant 1.5 but in gtk radiant 1.3.8 and there its working fine!
The terrain is there like it should.
Problem is that i use windows 7 as my OS so i cant save maps with the 1.3.8 version of the radiant but have to use the 1.5 version instead…

Do you know why 1.5 dont show my my terrain?

I am glad about every help,
Best regards,
Robert

I can’t help you exactly with your problem since I also don’t know why your terrain isn’t displayed in GtkRadiant 1.5.
You might try another editor for making maps. It is based on the latest GtkRadiant version (1.5) -> NetRadiant
direct link to get the latest version, just look for the dates at the right side.
NetRadiant slightly differs from GtkRadiant but you get used to it very quickly.

Got detail brushes filter off?

(Rob3rt) #4

View->Filter->Details (Ctrl+D)

To late, i got the last one in my backyard… sorry

(Rob3rt) #13

ye cause i have a new problem :stuck_out_tongue:

i think there is something wrong with the shader file for the terrain.
I use 3 different textures for it but when i load it in enemy territory i just see the black-yellow boxes…
Also a strange thing: when i use only the buildings of my map everything works properly but when i also include the terrain i cant move…

But anyhow i think there is a problem with the shader.
But i checked a few tutorials again and i think i did everything write…

Anyone knows help in general or should i post the shader here?

Thanks for help again :slight_smile:

(Mateos) #14

Have you added your shader to etmain/script/shaderlist.txt file?

(Rob3rt) #15

ye did that already…

(Mateos) #16

Loaded correctly by Gtk, no error while compiling in console involving this shader file?

Just noticed the 3, it’s 2 max. A maximum of 2 textures can meet and be “shadered” in ET.

(Rob3rt) #17

really? because in all tutorials they are using 3…so i can only use 1 ground and 1 hill texture to be shadered?

(Mateos) #18

If at one place you have 3 texture which meet, you’ll have a black triangle. The first YouTube video about the topic says it. You can use plenty textures, but don’t have 3 joined at 1 point.

But it does not explain why you have the whole map black… Is the .pcx file read correctly, in the correct folder, exported?

(Rob3rt) #19

ye i know that 3 textures cant meet at one place.
But that isnt the case here…

the .pcx should be in the right folder because when i export it from easygen the default folder is the etmain so i let it?!

so if it is correctly placed it also should get read correctly or?

Run the map, open the console and check for warnings or errors post them here.
