Title: Surfaceparm order?
Post by: MrFish on May 25, 2010, 06:34:19 pm

Is there an order surfaceparms need to be in? Something as simple as this-

textures/*****/forcefeild

{   

   surfaceparm nodraw
   surfaceparm nolightmap
   surfaceparm nomarks
   surfaceparm slick

}

shows up as notexture. And I think it's because it's not in order or something. Also, it's just a hunch, but if its in subraces that that mean loop?
ex-

textures/*****/heart
{
   
   q3map_surfacelight 600
   {
      map textures/nintendo_land/heart.png
      blendfunc blend
   }
}

EDIT: Umm...nvm.
I'm quite certain the order of surfaceparms doesn't matter. Where is the shader file? Don't you get any errors/warnings in console? Try removing the empty line after 'textures/*****/forcefeild'.
The stuff in sub-braces basically defines a layer of the shader, and you can have several layers drawn on top of each other.

shaders - /base/scripts/<file>
textures - /base/textures/...
map - /base/maps/...

Removed the line and nothing happened (whitespace is fine).

I did look at the warnings. I learned there is no surfaceparm "solid" :P

I removed the solid surfaceparm and recompiled but no good.

None of those warnings are related to it. Any warnings in tremulous console? Any chance of another shader file overwriting yours (/which scripts/filename.shader)? I assume you did add the shader file name to shaderlist.txt?... I can't think of anything else that might cause this. I assume radiant can find the shader?

No i didn't, but all of my blendfuncs and even my skybox worked without this. But adding it to the shaderlist ended up fixing all of my existing problems! A little confused but happy nontheless!

Thanks again :D
