My problems list

(Woodpeckersam) #1

Hey all, I am new to ET Map Making, i thought i’d give it a go
and find it quite easy.

I am using GTKRadiant 1.50

But i’ve run into few problems.

  1. Quite a few of the textures are missing, mainly from the Common Folder
    eg. Siwa Oasis, Fueldump, Goldrush, and even half the alpha’s such as
    caulk, noweaponclip, ladder etc etc… I have browsed to what i feel half the
    internet recently to see how i could recover them. I found one saying install
    GTKRadiant 1.4 and copy the textures over, i did but theres none there…
    so i check the pak.pk3 and none of them have the common textures or
    even textures for Oasis and other maps. Only the maps that i have downloaded
    from the game itself while going on to servers. So i used photshop to make
    a white caulk.tga for temporary purpose until i can find out what the problem is.
    Note i did uninstall and reinstall it…

  2. I dont seem to have the plugin which creates landscape in GTKRadiant 1.50 but
    1.40 has it… unless someone can point me in the right direction, is there anyway
    i can get it? I have browsed the net but what specific search type i use, i cannot
    find the answers im looking for.

  3. Vertices are an annoying problem for me. I am not sure if this question has been
    asked but… lets say i get a brush, rectangular, then i cut it in half (not exact in 1/2)
    but a diagonal cut in half for example but not from corner to corner.

The diagonal line was clipped in 1/2 so i removed the top part of it. This is used to make
a diagonal hill.

So i press V to edit the vertices and move the 2 back vertices… but the whole thing moves! Check arrows…

I dont want this to happen! how do i stop it?

  1. When i create a patch… where is the Thicken button? And why did they remove it. This question was asked yes iin other forums, but the answers given were not specific… i hope it can be answered here :D.

yea, in gtk 1.50 the plug in button for the terrain generator is missing. I use 1.4 and 1.5 so I can have the best of both versions. I make my terrains in 1.4, then import them or save them to my map, then open it in 1.5 simply because I prefer the 1.5 interface… For thicken. the keyboard shortcut for thicken is ctrl-t. This works both in 1.4 and 1.5.

hope this helps ya some

cheers

Mate thanks :smiley: Yeh of course it helps some :stuck_out_tongue:

Except for the thicken… doesnt work on 1.5 here.
When i press CTRL-T nothing happens.

As for 1.4, what im goin to try and do is get 1.4, then
copy the plugin from there into 1.5 folder and see if it
work. If not, can someone provide a link for easygen?

Thanks, been looking for it a while :O.

I was also wondering whether any1 else has the texture problem…
because i just noticed, when i go into Vanilla Enemy Territory
(Normal et without the mods) and play a on map say for example…
Goldrush, everything has a snow texture :open_mouth: :O… I am wondering
if someone can open pak.pk3 and extract the texture folder and
place them on the net… maybe thats why… but im curious to how
the textures have disappeared :O.

If not, i guess i’ll re-download ET and copy the pak.pk3 over.

Thanks for your time :smiley:

It’s time for you to reinstall your ET to another directory and use that client for mapping and testing your maps only. Don’t have random pk3’s in it.
