Planting trees/making skybox - need help

(vince829) #1

I have two problems with trying to create my first map. I have a working version of it going. However, I can’t plant a tree or get the skybox to look right. I am doing this with GTKR 1.3.8 and for WolfET

  1. TREE
    I click in 2d window, misc_model. I go to ETMAIN ->MapObjects>Trees_sd>tree_a.md3
    However all I see is a cube that was inserted and not a tree at all.

I followed this tut:

  1. Skybox
    I followed this tut:
    http://www.pythononline.co.uk/et/tutorial25.htm

It does show a skybox when I play but it only shows orange and black lines without a texture. Is the tut wrong?

Thanks for all the help!

Go to view/filters/models in radiant and see if the models are marked - unmark it if it is.

It can also be that your path to the models are wrong - then have a look at this post :

About your skybox - you have to put the shader file in the script folder and also add it to the shaderlist.
Have made some skyboxes - so if you have time to wait til tomorrow - ill send you a example map.

Thanks! I got the trees to work. It turned out I had the filter on AND I had to edit et.game. For the skybox, I have begin.shader (begin is map name) in the etmain/scripts. In the shaderlist.txt which is in the same folder I put begin on a new line. So both of those work. I don’t know what else…

check that your images are .JPG not .JPEG. most common texture problem EVER. Don’t be ashamed to find out you might have .JPEG, since a lot of programs use it as default. .JPEG is an improved .JPG, but q3 engine cant read them.

“JPEG is an improved .JPG, but q3 engine cant read them.”

Wow, that is good to know. I never realized there was a difference between both extensions.

Ehr… Files with extension .jpeg and .jpg are stil the same to my knowledge. I think it is far more likely that the engine does some string checks on “.jpg” but does not check for other alternatives.
