nice one zooooom, very much appreciated. Fixed the water and wireframe now and texture on sandbags. Wireframe was caused by a bad line in a vmt and water was the height issue. EDIT: All missing textures fixed. (I think ) I've rearranged some geometry to stop people gettin to where zeke was in the NE. The white buildable poles in NW are bugging me though. So. if anyone has any ideas about these: 1. White textures/glow around the generator model in centre and buildable barrier/poles in NW. Thanks again for the help guys, Hopefully all will be fixed up pretty soon and I can get a final release out.
i get the glow on every map buildable (generator too), i think its coming from the down "skybox" , are you sure they are made them right way?
think i know what is now actually. my main skybox is split with a no draw on bottom half, i forgot to do the same for the 3dskybox. I'll give it a try. I changed some stuff in the map and now it crashes the game :/ Trying to figure out wtf I just did...
well, some good news and some bad news.... Bad news is, no matter what I do, my water seems to be completely fucked, as in, cubemaps WILL NOT RENDER and the water just looks like shit. Actually I don't think the cubemaps are building at all. I've tried a load of things and nothing seems to work. Water is now all same height, didnt help... cheers to bumgravy for all the suggestions..got any more?? Hmm, quick note, I notice the .bsp filesize DROPS when I build cubemaps. WTF??? It is most definitely the cubemaps that are not building, maybe someone else could take a bash at compiling them ingame. I lost 160KB worth of data....what is this bloody engine doing to my map (it says "building default cubemaps for sky_day01_07" or something like that after giving readout of building each cubemap and taking the snapshots (cycles through each cubemap taking screenies as it should)) this must be wrong... Good news is, all previously misisng textures and models should now all be working for _b3. Map should now be much more playable. Also, for the graphics whores out there... Map is now available in HDR!!! and it looks gorgeous. Give it a try Will see if I can get b3 uploaded tomorrow sometime. Until then...I must sleep...this is wreckin my head now :D stooopid hammer.
Pretty high chance you have a leak, its one of those problems that are most annoying because they are inherit to come across once in a while even if you are a great mapper (just because sometimes you make a small mistake or something) try to load the pointfiles and follow the red line in your map, see if it ends up at an entity with its origin outside your map or at a wall breach in your dimension tell us if this works!
there is no pointfile. pointfile is only generated if there's a leak, also the log would reflect this. Also vis and rad dont run when theres a leak. It's not a leak, thanks anyway guys..
Actually, RAD will run when there's a leak. It just does an excessively bad job (any face that isn't in direct view of a light will be pitch black).
yeh ive tried several different ones. strangely enough... the map that was recently uploaded to napalms, _b3, had cubemaps built by me on my own pc first. They wouldnt hsow up when I reloaded the map on my own pc but when I palyed it online, there were reflections on th water but they were all over the place.
Don't quit this map, its made of win...seriously, get another mapper to help you out. I know bumgravy is like an amazing mapper, but he maps on possibly the biggest pile of shite you will ever see (800x600 res D: ) so hes not ideal for testing maps and shit. Try mayama, blight or Dz. They all map and have non-fail PCs.
Ok so. I have a new Orange Box version in the workings. A few small tweaks here and there. Fixed the texture problem a few people were having (hopefully) and added more infantry cover in the form of large rock formations scattered across the landscape. EDITTED: Water problem sorted, jsut need to figure how to change the fog distance under water. Suggestions welcome. If anyone wants to help out, I'll be happy to send them the VMF. I really just want this map, after all this time, to be over and done with and playable. thanks. Also, expect beta4 of this map this weekend if the full compile goes ok tonight
This map was awesome, and I'll pitch in a bit if you want. Also, afaik you should use the changelevel command.
I've been having issues with water not showing up properly as well :/ Dunno what causes it. Check it isn't in a func_viscluster, since that seems to be suddenly causing issues.
