Trying to get started with radiant, could use some help
« on: January 23, 2009, 05:01:01 am »
Hi there,

I checked the tutorials and stuff, but for whatever reasons cannot get a test-map to compile, so I wondered if there are the "uncompiled" versions of maps around somewhere, namely the .map-files. I would love to try to compile this to check if the compilation process per se even works, and to have a point to start with.

Google delivered no results.

Best regards, Zacharias

I have retired from Tremulous. Definetely. If you play a game just because it has become a habit, but u'r only feeling like a kindergarten teacher - well, maybe I am just getting too old (hell, I was a teenager when DukeNukem3D was *new*) - it's probably not a bad idea to just let it be. And I do.

Don't take this personally. Have fun, guys.

Look in Tremor's pk3, there is tremor.map.

Also in Arachnid.  And quite a few people are including the .map sources in their pk3's now.

However, I still got what I wanted, and I consider Tremor to be a fine map, relatively small, and many interesting opportunities in gameplay. I even loaded the map into radiant, but everything I see is the "no shaders"-shader. How can I get the actual textures etc. to work? I tried to start radiant from different directories, put the stuff from the uncompressed pk3 here and there...

Anyone an idea how to get things done?

you have your paths messed up in radiant press p and go under paths and set them to tremulous base folder or main folder (i forget what).

If you need some example decompilation is enough. =] Sure, you can try make 'your' map from 'atcs sketch' like atcs-on-ice, but i dont think its really good idea. =] Decompiled map giving enough information about mapping. =]

Hm, I remember that in my first attempt to get gtkradiant even up and running, the programme complained that I did not specify the path to the engine, so I did, but appearantly this is wrong. So I changed it to the main folder, but still radiant does not find some of the shaders. Recreaton of shaders.xml or so did not help either, whatever I try, radiant refuses to do as I expect :-\

Okay, not, this is getting more and more weird...

Radiant seems not to found the mgturret-model either, altough it is in place. It does find telenodes and the other models however.

i've never seen radiant load the mgturret model, but you don't really need it anyway.

the turret shows up fine for me. Ingar's latest netRadiant build. iirc he attaches f0rqu3's fix for that (I think it was fork)

So I take gtkradiant is a li'l buggy... Okay, I got netradiant, it compiled, it runs, but it does not let me chose Tremulous as a game, only nexuiz...

Can anyone tell me how to persuade netradiant to acutally acknowledge Tremulous?

Look here; http://tremmapping.pbwiki.com/ at the Installation and Setup guides. You need to create/add a file to tell Gtk Radiant where Tremulous files are etc

I appreciate your hint to rtfm, but unfortunately, I already did, I even tried to manipulate netradiant's files myself, but it did not work out as expected. I even copied $HOME/.radiant to $HOME/.netradiant, but with no avail. Sorry.

If you want to use netradiant from SVN, you will have to add the gamepacks yourself. Download the TremulousPack.

Go to your netradiant SVN directory, into the games subdirectory. Create a new subdirectory
TremulousPack. Unzip the archive there and build netradiant as usual. You can find the other gamepacks here.

Heres 4 pk3 that fix a number of things that radiant skrews up with Tremulous, including adding the Common folder(doesnt show up if you only have default maps) adds textures for all common shaders, and gives you the mgturret model to work.

(be sure to extract these to .../program files/tremulous/base and not to .../documents and setting/user/local settings/application data/tremulous/base)

And here is a very nice tut on radiant

Ingar, thank you very much, now netradiant recognizes Tremulous, the only detail wrong is that of course TremulousPack must be placed in the same folder as NexuizPack, but however, this is not too hard to figure out.

However, when opening tremor.map, some textures are still not visible, just like before. My first try to render the map produced a map that appears to be messed up.

Is it the textures, shaders or both that are missing? Also, what do you mean by "messed up"?
