Objectives outside the compass with ET Pro

(SteelRat) #1

A lot of custom maps, including most of mine have their custom objectives show up outside the compass while playing on a server running ET pro.
The reason for this is that the custom objectives needs to have a shader, here is a sample of what you need to add to your shader for your map to avoid this annoying problem.

textures/v2base_te/radio
{
	nopicmip
	nocompress
	nomipmaps
	{
		map textures/v2base_te/radio.tga
		depthfunc equal
		blendfunc blend
		rgbGen vertex
		alphaGen vertex
	}
}

My latest map released today (V2 Base Tournament Edition) uses this shader and it works just fine on ET Pro servers.

Would you mind if I used this in the ET Pro documentation? We really need something like this in there :confused:

So the shaders for the CM icons in /gfx would look like this?



gfx/vengeance/cm_north_cabinet
{ 
   nopicmip 
   nocompress 
   nomipmaps 
   { 
      map gfx/vengeance/cm_north_cabinet.tga 
      depthfunc equal 
      blendfunc blend 
      rgbGen vertex 
      alphaGen vertex 
   } 
}

gfx/vengeance/cm_south_cabinet
{ 
   nopicmip 
   nocompress 
   nomipmaps 
   { 
      map gfx/vengeance/cm_south_cabinet.tga 
      depthfunc equal 
      blendfunc blend 
      rgbGen vertex 
      alphaGen vertex 
   } 
}

Yep, if your files are stored there then this is correct Ifurita.

And also another tip; If you have already relased a map and want to fix it afterwards you can create this shader and make a .pk3 of it. If you do then the shader needs to be placed in \scripts as usual.

Rain and bani addressed this issue in September of last year, but they unfortunately did a poor job in spreading the word.

I believe Hummer did this with the release of Raiders back in January.
