hi,
im trying to make a map but theres something wrong with my terrain and skies :???:
the skies look just grey and the terrain (easygen) looks black with orange squares :???:
when i load it in ET
that looks really terrible
maybe it has something to do with the shaders?
PLZ help me 
o by the way, i know how to create my terrain, skies, buildings, … BUT I JUST DONT KNOW WHY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS :???:
Would it be possible for u to create a few screen shot so we may see what could be the problem, im no expert but i know screenshots help.
STEPS FOR MAKINGS A SCREENSHOT
press print scrn
open paint
paste (CTRL+V)
Save (save as JPG much smaller file)
Then put the images here for us to view and see if we can figure out the problem,
But from what you say its black and orange squares instead of terrain? You Need To Locate Terrain or Texture files you were using/going to use.
P.S. i just returned, so i have to start from scratch, regain all knowledge i once owned.
LOL suxs for me doesnt it.

PS. Do you have msn? add me if you do ------------------------|
Here are some tutorials:
http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials.html
Here’s one for easygen:
http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials/easygen.html
Do you have installed the wolf template?
The shader created by easygen has to be added to the scripts/shaderlist.txt.
The pcx created by easygen belongs in the etmain directory.
BTW you have to edit the shader created by easygen.
Theres a baseshader at the end of the file.
Cut and copy this baseshader at the top of the shaderfile.
Not all of the skies are working.
Try “skies/sd_batterysky”.
For your terrain - the problem lies in your shader - there is a bug in EasyGen that can cause it to forget the name of shader you’ve typed.
Open the shader file manually and check the directories are in fact correct. This usually sorts the problem out.
The sky I’m not so sure on - is it a custom sky or one included. Best way to get a working sky is to choose a sky texture from the sidebar that has a white outline.
and none of the skies is working!
also sd_batterysky isn’t, nor the ones with a white outline!
You can open the shader file with any text editor.
Here are the templates (only a few KB) (I’m too lazy to search the internet for other addresses so I’ve put it on my wepspace):

What have you done so far?
Try to read the tutorial.
i already read the tutorial
before i posted here
i did exactly what it says and this bad looking map was the result :???:
BTW the only thing i didnt try yet was the editing the shader (replacing that baseshader)
cause i cant find that baseshader in the shader text
it’s in the shader file with the name that you specify while exporting the terrain in the scripts directory.
should i put it in the scripts or in the etmain/scripts directory?
easygen only wants to put it in the scripts directory
but i think i have to replace it in etmain/scripts
am i right?
damn, now its an other error!
LoadPCX: Couldn’t read etmain/testterrain.pcx
yes it is
and i do have placed it in the etmain directory
the problem is i cant test the map with the templates you said i had to install
and this is too bad cause the templates might fix the problem :???:
could anything else cause this pcx error?
I’ve read in a german tutorial that it might help if you convert the pcx into tga / bmp.
Although I think that this will not work you could try it.
