Hello! I tried now easygen with tutorials and stuff, and I think I got it … but…
When I tried to export my work to a map-file i clicked on the […]-button of alphamap filename it say
“You must locate alphamapsomewhere under e:/programme/wolfenstein - enemy territory/etmain/easygen [OK]”
I surely did that but it say it again and again -.-
and if i press continue, it say that i must check alpha- and metashader…

I think, from memory, that if your going to save the alphamap you have to save the metashader and so forth aswell, they are all used in conjunction with each other to make it work (shaders, blah blah).
Yepp you need to export all 3 of them. And the alphamap goes into the etmain-folder. This has the advantage that later on you don’t need to export all 3 of them, but can only export a modifyed alphamap or .map.
No you both didn’t understand…
I want to save both and this error message appears not if i click continue, it is shown if I click […]-Button next to the edit-field f the… ah I make a screen…

See the 3 fields with these texts?
textures / [blank] / terrain
Enter your map’s name in the middle box, and it will name the alpha map and terrain shader accordingly.
You werent very clear in your first post general_daniel thats why we didnt understand.

and… meta and alpha is “checked”… i dont get it what this programm wants from me!!!
_GD
don’t say now i must first save it as a *.egn-file… before i can export it…
i didnt saved it before… just want to test… liek it works in all other programs what i had in my whole life…
Edit: OH MY GOD!! I must save the file first -.-"
edit2: here the solution: http://gdc.gd.funpic.de/easygen_works_now.jpg

I thought that your problem was related to that…
Good luck on your mapping efforts.
Thank you.
I need that easyGen because I want to make a huge map with a big mountain in the middle and a more beautfull landscape. If my progress reach a “viewable” status I will show you.
ps: thanks again to all who helped and tried to help

If it hasn’t been mentioned:
You have to edit the exported shader by hand.
There’s a base shader at the end of the shaderfile that is exported by easygen.
This shader has to be at the start of the shaderfile (cut & paste).
An the next error… :banghead:
screenshot (a pic says more than 1000 words ^^)
@Der’saidin: it was a test ^^
@ nUllSkillZ : at the test map there i changed nothing manuel… but maybe i must now?
well i checked the shader file… but looks also all ok…
:???:

well, i have mods yes, but i load ET with etmain so, those mods schould be ignored, right? :suspicious:

I’m not sure if I am stating the obvious or directing you to something you have already looked at, but the following link is a tutorial about using Easygen it was pretty helpfull for me when i first started out.
http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials/easygen.html
Also can i recommend that you create a clean install of Enemy Territory and use that as the path for your radiant and use it also for testing, if you have a clean install you will only have the textures that come with the standard maps. Also you won’t run the risk of using a texture that is from a custom map that you may not have permission to use or that you can’t find to distribute with your finished map.
Also there are updated templates for Easygen that give the correct shader output for ET which might be helpful also.

If you search for Easygen as topic in the magical search button at the top of the page you will find lots of threads that may help you.
Good Luck

and finally, watch this picture again: http://gdc.gd.funpic.de/easygen_works_now.jpg
seems that i laread made it… and i add too, that those textures are from the same folder, as those “fels3.jpg” or whatever…
so, can it be that pictures are protected (i ask because i got these picture from anywhere, i didnt made them myself…). if u dont have any idea say it, but dont …
