q3map_foliage

(Higgins) #1

No matter what i do to this shader, the model wont appear on my terrain. Ive tried changing the alpha number from 0 to 2 and no results. Can any one point out why its not working?

textures/radio/terrain_1
{
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	q3map_novertexshadows
	q3map_forcesunlight
        q3map_foliage models/foliage/weed.md3 0.1 16 0.025 0
	{
		map textures/radio/grass_dense1.tga
		rgbGen vertex
		tcmod scale 0.071 0.071
	}
}

Have you tried putting the model in your map using a misc_model yet?

yes,why?

You could try these…
I tried them in my map but didnt like the results…

They work for me. So might give you an idea where your going wrong…

// q3map_foliage models/mapobjects/plants_sd/leaf_high.md3 1.25 48 0.1 2 		
// q3map_foliage models/mapobjects/plants_sd/grass_low.md3 1.1 48 0.1 2 		
// q3map_foliage models/mapobjects/tree_temperate_sd/tree_temperate_high.md3 2 64 0.025 0

I suggest checking out the shader manual for what each number does.

Good luck

Iam not getting any thing showing up in my map. Ive messed with the numbers and readthe manual, but i cant get it to work.

Hmm, I only know the following tutorial over at level-designer.de (german):
Foliage Systeme
You could try and take a look.
They use an extra shader for the foliage.

I have foliage shaders working in my map. I can’t look at it right now, but double check the pk3 files to see if that weed.md3 is actually present. I don’t remember which one it is, but the md3 model that was used in radar isn’t included in the pk3 files. Until I find something better, I’m using the dry grass weeds from Oasis. I’ll post the shader later if you don’t get it working.

EDIT:


    q3map_foliage models/mapobjects/plants_sd/grassdryfoliage.md3 1.1 64 0.1 2

Someone else posted the other one I’m using. This one works too. I think you are just using a model that doesn’t exist. I think the textures for it are there though.
