Terrain problem

(cro172) #1

i cant seem to get the terrain brush to work, I dont really know how to make it select which brush to use. I tried using this:

textures/so5 
{ 
   q3map_terrain
   q3map_normalimage textures/so5/master_grass_dirt3.tga 
   surfaceparm landmine 
   surfaceparm grasssteps 
}

to make the terrain brush use the master_grass_dirt2.tga image, but it wont work. can someone please tell me how to make this work?

Whoa…Slow down and move back to point 1.

Shader Manual

easygen Use easygen to learn how the terrain-texture is linked to the shader. You can even open up the goldrush.map that comes with Radiant’s FULL install. --Hint : Worldspawn.

Thank you for your help, but I don’t think you understand, I meant the terrain brush in radiant the .map editing program, I cant figure out how to make it be a texture. It just shows up invisible in the games, but it is solid.

ahhhhh…would it help if I sent you an example .map/.zip with all the stuffings so you can analyse it ?

If so…PM me .

I only say this because I have no clue of where you are on your own mapping level. The cause of this could be a couple of things. So I need more information —unless the example would suffice.

lol, from what I can see you only gave surfaceparms to this “Shader” and it has no actual texture applied at all, it will only show up in the editor because of the

" q3map_normalimage textures/so5/master_grass_dirt3.tga " line

instead you should try to use this piece of code;



textures/so5
{
   q3map_terrain
   q3map_normalimage textures/so5/master_grass_dirt3.tga
   surfaceparm landmine
   surfaceparm grasssteps
	{
		map textures/so5/master_grass_dirt3.tga
	}
}

The reason the thing was made solid is because Shaders are always solid unless scripted different, the reason there was no texture applied in-game was because there was no part
{
map textures/foldername/yourtexture
}

That part always has to be there in order to get a shader working.

Did that do it?
