Title: What is wrong with this shader?
Post by: Plague Bringer on February 28, 2009, 09:37:49 pm: In game it displays the right texture, but bullets leave marks, it's solid, and it doesn't display the effects that water should when I noclip into it. Also, does deformVertexes work for Tremulous? I assume it doesn't, because you'd think that a lot more people would have egg transporting alien tubes.

Code: [Select]
textures/heatwave/lava.jpg { qer_editorimage textures/heatwave/lava.jpg surfaceparm noimpact surfaceparm nosolid surfaceparm water { deformVertexes bulge <100> <100> <30> } }

Post by: UniqPhoeniX on February 28, 2009, 10:54:57 pm: It's 'nonsolid'. For solid surfaces if you don't want marks, use surfaceparm nomarks. Also I'm pretty sure you don't need < and >.

Post by: Archangel on February 28, 2009, 10:55:38 pm: deformVertexes works absolutely fine. Try removing the < and >s from your entry. You need to add the shader file's name to your shaderlist.txt (in your base/scripts/shaderlist.txt) i.e. you named it heatwave.shader, add 'heatwave' to the end of shaderlist.txt. You also don't need to specify file extensions on shader names. textures/heatwave/lava would be fine.

Post by: Plague Bringer on February 28, 2009, 11:10:09 pm: Now I'm back to my first problem, the brush operates properly (no collision, no marks, water) but it has that gray and white texture, implying that it's missing.

map textures/heatwave/lava.jpg after qer_editorimage.

Quote
textures/heatwave/lava
{
   qer_editorimage textures/heatwave/lava.jpg
   surfaceparm nomarks
   surfaceparm nonsolid
   surfaceparm water
   {
      deformVertexes bulge 100 100 30

   }
}
Will give me textureless brushes that have nomarks, nonsolid, and water (but don't bulge, as the texture is missing).

Whereas..

Quote
textures/heatwave/lava.jpg
{
   qer_editorimage textures/heatwave/lava.jpg
   surfaceparm nomarks
   surfaceparm nonsolid
   surfaceparm water
   {
      deformVertexes bulge 100 100 30

   }
}
Will give me textured brushes that don't do anything the shader tells them to.

Post by: Archangel on February 28, 2009, 11:21:23 pm: no. You add
Code: [Select]
map textures/heatwave/lava.jpg to your shader.

Code: [Select]
textures/heatwave/lava { qer_editorimage textures/heatwave/lava.jpg map textures/heatwave/lava.jpg surfaceparm nomarks surfaceparm nonsolid surfaceparm lava { deformVertexes bulge 100 100 30 } }
Title: Re: What is wrong with this shader?
Post by: Plague Bringer on February 28, 2009, 11:26:29 pm: Ah! Heh. I had thought you meant directly after qer_editorimage, which would do nothing.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for being thick.

Edit; AAAAAAAAND it does nothing.
Title: Re: What is wrong with this shader?
Post by: Archangel on February 28, 2009, 11:57:41 pm: Ah, my bad
Code: [Select]
textures/heatwave/lava { qer_trans 0.4 surfaceparm nonsolid surfaceparm trans surfaceparm lava surfaceparm nomarks deformVertexes wave 256 sin 0 5 6 0.5 cull disable { map textures/heatwave/lava.jpg alphaGen const 0.2 blendfunc blend tcMod scale 0.5 0.5 tcMod scroll 0.5 0.5 } { map textures/heatwave/lava.jpg blendfunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE alphaGen const 0.8 tcGen environment } { map $lightmap blendfunc filter } }
Should be good. If it doesn't, I'm a moron. But, shaders are not my point of skill, so :P

Post by: Plague Bringer on March 01, 2009, 12:22:42 am: Thanks.

I tweaked it a little to serve my purposes (those being pillars of magma, like in Hot Grounds for Nexuiz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUcFi7VHZ0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zUcFi7VHZ0))

Post by: Archangel on March 01, 2009, 12:39:48 am: Ah, so it worked. You're welcome :)

Post by: Zero Ame on March 01, 2009, 04:09:59 am: texture is very very repetitive
Title: Re: What is wrong with this shader?
Post by: Plague Bringer on March 01, 2009, 04:54:45 am: Yeah. That's one from filterforge under "molten lava" (or something). I came across it looking for Q3 textures earlier in the day.

Anyway, I like the effect the magma flowing out of those pipes has. Someone should make some pulsing tubes carrying clone embryos, or something. I know that there's a small hose that has a bulge moving through it. It's blue. I think it's in a default map.

Nexus6?

Post by: Plague Bringer on March 01, 2009, 02:14:51 pm: I'll take a devmap run through it right now.

EDIT: I think it might be G2_B2 by Jex (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=784.0), but I can't be arsed to download and test right now (working on a map/textures/HUD catalogue).
