keep going! nice house

(psyco_mario) #5

Seriously, im jealous of that house, i cant make houses :frowning:

(onu123) #6

how-come YOU cant make houses???
im not too good making them self too :smiley: but i have ideas…

i have problems also… because im a newbie mapper i realy dont get it how to make sky.
i can make them like walls, but then they´r not looking real.
(i know that there are many and much and more topics and tutorials about it but no time to find them

…Hoooh a long text…

(psyco_mario) #7

Dunno… whenever i make a house it comes out messed

For a sky, put a big box round your map and caulk it.

Then, select all the faces you would be able to see (Ctrl+Shit+Left mouse+Drag/Click)
And go into textures > skies then put sky_wurzburg on,

complie and have a look @ it
if you dont like it, try it with a different one

ok now i have some skies :clap: but now hot to make shadows??? :???: :smiley:

(=SC=Beef) #9

Yay mario, that stops me making a pointless topic xD

onu123 add lights (right click - light) then slect intensity…so i believe.

there are also textures that emmit light without adding the entity they can be found in textures/light

BUT im not sure about a large daylight outside map

(kamikazee) #10

Most skies give off light, just do a light compile after BSP and VIS.

(onu123) #11

alrighty… that thing did not work, its shown in radiant, but not in game??? :banghead:

(onu123) #12

ok it all f**ked uppp when saved it shows some LONG errors and then it crashes and then it cant be loaded again

so how to get bsp to .map again??? because i saved it into bsp just few minutes before
the auto save is f***ed too

eroor is like that:
— LoadMapFile —
C:/Mängud/et/etmain/maps/ulme2.map
586 primitive
46 entities
Loading map from C:/Mängud/et/etmain/maps/ulme.map
Open file C:/Mängud/et/etmain/maps/ulme.map for read…success
4118:72: parse error at ‘1.#QNAN’: expected ‘#number’
brush 439: parse error
entity 0: parse error
map load timer: 0.38 second(s) elapsed
— LoadMapFile —
C:/Mängud/et/etmain/maps/ulme.map
0 primitive
0 entities

:angry: :banghead: :bash: :angry: :banghead: :bash: :???: :frowning: :disgust: :eek: :???: :banghead:

(kamikazee) #13

Hmmm… It should be possible to make a manual backup and fix the map using a good text editor.

It might yield more results then decompiling…

(onu123) #14

i already tryied that, it starts showing other errors… :banghead:

i guess im not going to re-make it…

im going to start a new1 i guess, but if some1 finds a solution, i can end that1 too

(psyco_mario) #15

send the .map to me, pm me with it, i will try and fix it for you :slight_smile:

oh, and check autosave.map

also, do you have xfire/msn? i could help you alot more then :clap:

(onu123) #16

problem solved!!!

(kamikazee) #17

And the problem/solution was …?

(psyco_mario) #18

Right, his world spawn was messed up, somehow he managed to completly remove it from his .map

I added it back in, and its all sorted! :smiley:

(EterneX) #19

Nice work, looks pretty nice to me. Considering how im a noob to mapping too.

Keep working on it

(onu123) #20
