.pcx and terrain texturing

(iistrust) #1

Ive started to make my terrain by hand (inspired by socks work) and im not quite sure how the texturing works 4 it. There are some old tutorials that say to refer to the texture directly (for RTCW) but ET uses .pcx files. ne1 know what to do??

Are you looking at sock’s tutorial for terrain alpha blending? If so, then you don’t need the .pcx file. You can texture your terrain and then through a shader blend it to other textures depending on the surface normal vector.

yeah thats what im trying to do but im havin a few problems! im still not quite sure about how to use shaders properly. How do you make the shader available 4 use in the program? I know how to reference the shader, but then how do you reference the texture?? Im confused???

  1. you create shader file with a text editor (notepad).
  2. You save it named yourmapname.shader
  3. You ad in the shaderlist.txt one row yourmapname (without the .shader -end) (shaderlist.txt is in your scripts directory)
  4. You open (restart) radiant!
