Something wrong with water

(Square35) #1

When I add some object “water shading” and play the map in et, theres orange mesh there where water should be. But, if i walk over or shoot the water I can see the “water refletion”. :moo:

I started Mapping today so heres few other questions waiting for answer:

1: How is it possible to make sky realistic? I put a big “box” flying in the sky and used sky shading to it. It is ok, but it looks like “cube” :slight_smile:
2: I added a model using misc_model, but i cant rotate it. Whats wrong?
3: How i could create terrain elevations? Now i just have flat “box” ground with grass texture in it.
4: And i added misc_model “barrel” but when i try to add “func_explosive” to it, so it could be destroyed but editor says something like: cannot group something… blah blah…

Lots-o-questions for ya. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey Square35! Good luck with mapping! But before you start asking questions that have been answered serveral times, read the stickies and tutorials!

Sticky: TUTORIALS AND ET MAPPING RESOURCES

Lots-o-answeres for ya. :stuck_out_tongue:

post the shader script here

I dont need water now so i will solve that problem later…

But one more question what i couldnt find in those topics:

Is it possible to use that ladders what are used in the game’s “premade” levels?

Use the “ladder” shader found in the /common folder/pack?

I can make ladders but i wanted to make them look same like ladders in siwa oasis… :moo:

there is a ladder texture in the ‘alpha’ texture folder. Its called ‘ladder’ which i think is the one you want.

Yea. I know that texture but ladders in siwa are “round” that they look like they are made of iron pipe curved into shape… :slight_smile:

Still cant get water working. I tried all water shaders in “liquids”. In game, they all look like this:

try the water texture on just one face of the brush, make the rest nodraw, that might be your water problem.

to make a ladder like you describe youd probably would want to use patches

edit:
http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials.html you should probably go through these tutorials, they are for RTCW but most everything stiill applies.

edit2:
I mean nodrawwater not nodraw

Theres still orange mesh where the water shader should be. :angry: :banghead: >:( :confused: :disgust:
