Mapping Q & A Thread(if you have a mapping question look here)

I figured he would have read the convo i was responding to and maybe even seen the screenshot as he scrolled down the page.

You might scroll down the page but other people use this button called 'Last Post' which takes them directly to the last post.

Water... How does one do it.

I asked superpie, and he just uses the shader found in karith. I tried to do the same thing, and it just turns invisible. It has the same effect, but its invisible.

(the water i want is the one which is in superpies map, the one that is also in nexus, in the human base and is green)

Go to the nexus6 textures, find the one called slime_s and texture it with that. Then don't forget to add the nexus6 shader file to your scripts folder to put in the pk3. Or if you want to do it more 'professionally' take the bit that talks about slime_s from the nexus6 shader file and add it to your map's shader file. (At least I think that's what you do)

Can i have a paticular spec for when aliens win, and different one for when humans win...?

[nubcake]

I have an issue using the multiplant textures... the model comes up black when i use the _revamp key or no key at all. I can get the textures on some of the models but it doesnt fit around the model, it had the ugly black surrounging it (for example the leaf will be green but there will be a black box surrounding it) any ideas?

Is it possible to move brushes like shown from point A to point B, and then to point C all in one motion? Is it also possible to define a custom path for a brush to travel through? By custom I mean a non straight, non parabolic path.

yes they are different specs so it should work, i think that the blue and red fireworks are different on atcs.....


(if im thinking correctly)

any idea how? Would i have to pick a spec and put in a trigger or target?

amz181: When game is over, players are at info_player_intermission, which is also where they start at when joining. You can use trigger_win to trigger "doors" which change what that area looks like (replace ceiling & walls & floor).
Demolution: can't be done if you want the path curved, but you can try using func_train and path_corners.

Didnt think this deserves a thread so...

can you build shiz on a constantly moving platform?

im thinking yes, but i just want to be safe before i start mapping out, only to find my map wont work.

You can't build anything on other entities. (Besides Worldspawn)

if you make those objects move with the platform it could work maybe
