Problem with texture "common"

(mike12255) #1

Well I went to add a trigger (for the first time im new to this) but, when I clicked on common were i was told it was suposed to be I saw this:

I thought there were suposed to be other thigns than that in that texture part ( im using GKT radient 1.5) anyway if somone could help me find the trigger its appriciated

EDIT: May as well ask my other question here also, when I place my mapname.bsp into my etmain/maps folder and do /devmap mapname and get into my level, textures are missing on things i added textures too (it appears black and yellow) and also the only thing giving off light are my walls, any help appriciated, thanks again.

Hm, 1.5 might have “trigger” catagory? 1.4 they’re all in /common… have a look in your etmain/scripts/common.shader to see if its in there. Any 1.5 user know?

missing on things i added textures too

That is usually a shader error, using custom shader?
Radiant sees the qer_editorimage textures/path/to/texture.tga, but there’s an error in one of your stage paths or implicitmap textures/path/to/texture.tga.

oh yea, the light thing, your sky(walls) is probably the only light in the map. Start with putting an “ambient” “30” key/value(no quotes) in your worldspawn. (-select any non-entity brush) There is a light entity(rightclick 2d in 1.5?) you can add to rooms for brighter lighting(check settings of lights in entity window.

Thanks for the light solution, and for the textures thing, im using the textures it’s showing (a lot) i guess its reading through all of the pk3’s in my etmain and taking the textures out of them

just go to view>show shaders… That’ll fix it.

perhaps I should use 1.4 because I dont have that either…only problem is, when I installed 1.4 it only game me the option to make maps for other games like Jedi acadamy

-view/show shaders didn’t work? I thought Baron had that :stuck_out_tongue:
There’s nothing wrong with 1.5 it just has different features, but there is an ET specific “Radiant Pack” around for 1.4. Can’t find the link atm, but its out there :stuck_out_tongue:

its not that it didnt work, its that there is a veiw but inside veiw absoultly nothing to do with shaders.

Are you trying view/ in the textures window?(the window in your screeny)
It might be in there instead of the main toolbar :?
