Tiling command map. Any idea what's causing this?

(Ifurita) #1

I’ve had this happen before, but it goes away when I redo the CM and insert a new copy. This won’t go away – anyone have any ideas what’s causing it? The CM is just a plain vanilla greyscaled tracemap.

wild guess time - have you alpha channels in your tga?

(Ifurita) #3

Nope, it’s a jpg

(mrfin) #4

is it rgb?

If you have “map” instead of “clampmap” in your shader, would have this effect.

Here’s the shader, it’s pretty plain vanilla


levelshots/tactical_a1_cc_automap
{
   nopicmip
   nocompress
   nomipmaps
   {
      clampmap levelshots/tactical_a1_cc.tga
      depthFunc equal
      rgbGen identity
   }
}

levelshots/tactical_a1_cc_trans
{
   nopicmip
   nocompress
   nomipmaps
   {
      clampmap levelshots/tactical_a1_cc.tga
      blendfunc blend
      rgbGen identity
      alphaGen vertex
   }
}

It was never going to be that easy…,
I had a second look at the screen shot, its not tiling the texture, but making a row, even odder. Does it do this in the limbo menu as well?
Just to make sure its the game and not the texture, have you tried renaming one of the standard com maps and seeing if that does the same.

O’boy, this sites fun tonight :uhoh:

perhaps its some odd bug, due to the map sizes. What the height and width of the map and what is the max and min coords set to?

(Ifurita) #9

I’ll try det’s suggestion first. Mapcoordsmins/maxs are -1500 1500 and 1500 -1500

umm, that screen shot gets better and better,
You got three diffrent shaders/textures in view there, your com map, an alpha mask from gfx/misc(I think) and a one from textures/swf.

Did you make your grayscale jpg with photoshop, it will save grayscale as 8bit.jpg instead of 24

Well, the problem is resolved:

  • Tried renaming another CC – worked
  • Redid CC but increased colors to 24 bits – workd

I think you might have been right about the 8 bit greyscale. Very odd if you ask me.
