EasyGen Texture Problem

(={PHA}=Menes) #1

Ok guys im having a problem with my texture that i made within easygen. I have created the texture and exported it as i have read to do, but when i open up the map to test it within ET it looks like this:

Why is this or what else do i have to do for my textures to work.

BTW i am new to mapping.

Many Thanks

did you make a shader file?

Hi and welcome in forums,

I do not understand what you mean. Are you talking about the texture or do you mean the whole terrain?

when you export a terrain with easygen it will create 3 files:

  1. name_of_your_terrain.map
  2. name_of_your_terrain.shader
  3. name_of_your_terrain.pcx

the first one you have to put in …/etmain/maps
the second one in …etmain/scripts
the third one in …/etmain

furthermore you have to open the file …etmain/scripts/shaderlist.txt with a programm like wordpad or notepad (one that lists the names in a row and not all in a line or smth…) and you have to add at the end of the list the name of your shader “name_of your_shader” (without ".shader)

I have did what you said here. But still no luck. All files are where they are meant to be as well :confused:

Can you post your shader? Double-check the paths to the texture files as well.

(={PHA}=Menes) #6

are you wanting the .shader file or the shader.txt file?

.shader file, and post also path to your textures (like: /etmain/textures/my_textures/my_terrain.tga)
as it look like, your ET just doesn’t find the textures(or it can’t read the shader, prolly cause of mistake)

.shader file is attached. And i think this is where the path is

C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\etmain\maps\bunker1

It does contain 4 .TGA images, so who knows, this is probably showing my begginers skills of mapping, because it will probably be in the wrong directory :slight_smile:

Your missing the name in that shader.

you have textures//terrain_0 it should be textures/bunker1/terrain_0 etc

also remember to add bunker1.shader to the shaderlist

thanks for the help that worked a treat :slight_smile:

I have one other small problem though, why when i click L to go to the limbo menu, do ET freeze?

Thanks for all the help so far guys :slight_smile:

Thanks for the link, but unfortunatly i cant find anything in there that will help me solve this problem, as there isnt a clear solution from what im reading.

i guess you don’t have correct entities set.
you can use this prefab.

(={PHA}=Menes) #14

Ok i will try that.

So where do i stick this file?

Many Thanks

(IndyJones) #15

in radiant 1.4 - Edit/Load prefab, and place them somewhere inside map.

(stephanbay) #16

import the .map easygen file using Edit/Load prefab as said before,

good luck minus :wink:
