ice to water! PLEASE HELP


(PHA_WOLF) #1

Hi i was wondering if it is possible to change ice in a map to just plain old water. Its one of those age old questions that i bet alot of people have asked. i have remade the fueldump map im summertime and just need to change the ice to water. If u manage to fix this not only will i have ur babies but i will outright owe my life to u. Ive been searching for the fix for a while now. Ive tried decompiling the bsp file but i just cant seem to get my decompiling program “matchmaker” to work. Below are a couple of screenshots of the map. PLEASE HELP!

the clipping planes are compiled into the bps so you can make anyhting no solid that is solid without decompiling and recompiling the map

you could try making the ice look like a dried up river bed though but water isnt posible in this situation

Hm i can see snowy concrete texture in the dump bunker. The command map is still white.
As for water… just put a waterbrush in there?

As for decompile and make it a new map: What s the use in that? Did you put in other objectives? Make a new gameplay? Or did you just rip the (copyrighted) map?

And a question about your name… PHA is a UK clan, an i thought the Pharaos all have names of Pharaos? Are you a member of PHA or just ripping off their name as well?

i think this a new map skinpack so to speek hes not decompiled the map thats why hes finnding it so hard to get water

i don’t see any problem of decompiling map for reskining purposes as long as author allow to modify his work ( almost all map readmes forbid that :nag: )
but for SD map, isn’t is just as loading MDC model of thompson , changing it , and exporting it to md3?
However decompiling map doesn’t work always correctly, but if you can do it I would go for it unless angry SD mapper will write here :stuck_out_tongue:

i wouldnt be against a decompile for the puropes

>to re skin the map
>use the map as a base to make a map with a similar layout but in a total differnt style (eg WW beach)
>make signficant changes to the map not just adding anoying clan banners everywhere

as for ur information. I am trying to find a decompiler that actually works. I have only redone the textures. and i dont gotta have a pharaohs name. so maybe mcnite will reconsider calling me a rip-off.

P.S i had permission dipsh*t
