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

[CreatureofHell]

I'm not at my normal computer right now so I can't check but look in the shader file to see which texture the fog shader is using.

[bacon665]

ok so i know theres a telep[ort thing but is there a way to mak eit so say portal A only transports humans and portal B only transports aliens. btw can i hide said portals from both?

[UniqPhoeniX]

Trigger_multiple -> target_relay (human/alien only) -> target_teleporter -> misc_teleporter_dest

[bacon665]

Thanx

At what angle does something have to be before it slides (you can walk up it)?

At what angle does something have to be before it slides (you can walk up it)?

make it whatever angle you want, then make a "slick" shader covering it and it will make people slide off.

[lol]

aight soooooo im really close to finishing my map.  gameplay wise it would stuck but i kinda just made it for practice but ill release it as soon as possible.  thanks for all the answered questions on here but i have one more lol. 

it says my machine gun turret model is not found sooo the human base will fall apart unless i can put machine gun turrets in.  anybody know why i would be missing that in the editor even though i see them when i play tremulous

thanks again

aweomse, glad to help.



i haz question!!!!

if i was to...say...l..put in a trigger that would be a trigger_Weapon could it allow people to pick up weapons off the floor? or would i need server side compatibility to run it i.e. the way blackout on Fun-zone obj. works

[Knowitall66]

@flesh; Needs a mod, no such entity exists in vanilla Trem.

[fleash eater]

gah alright, it was looking like an evolution into a mod anyways.... thanks knowitall



Off-topic (i can haz sticky topic?  )

[lol]

DONE!   took me forever but mostly because i only mapped when i was bored until recently when i decided to finish it and start mappin again.  anywayz now im off to figure out how to put it in pk3 form lol   thanks for all the help on here.  would of never been able to make this first map without yalls help   

[lol]

well im still tryin to pk3 and i would be done but a few of the file paths dont exist for textures.  i been followin the file path on my textures and have gotten most of the textures cept for a few that just arent there or inconsistencies such as im looking for textures/nexus6/slime_s but find only a slime7c,  anywayz anyone know why this is.  once this is done i can upload to rapidshare
EDIT
well i decided to put what i could get into a .pk3 just to test it and it doesnt even show up once its in the base folder and i made the file name
map-overrun

[Knowitall66]

Ah, haha! You can't find it because it's a shader (The shader uses the slime7c texture).

[lol]

oh lol, so do i just put shaders in scripts but i still dont know why my pk3 wont show up when i put it in base

[UniqPhoeniX]

Won't show up where?

[Winnie the Pooh]

He means ingame in the create server list thingy.

[lol]

yeah in the create server part

[UniqPhoeniX]

You need a .arena file (http://tremmapping.pbworks.com/Starting+Tremulous+Mapping).

[lol]

aight i checked yo link but havent been able to make a .arena file.  i compile it and dont get one

[UniqPhoeniX]

The following is how a .arena file looks.


Mapname.arena <-- filename, first make a .txt, then rename

{
map "mapname_version"
longname "Displayed name in loading screen"
type "tremulous"
}

the rest of it goes into the file, mapname_version has to match .bsp name.

[lol]

oh got ya,  off to do that now.  then i can finally put this map behind me and work on a new one that isnt so crappy

i like the walls. almost looks like a cinder block bunker from the screenshot (minus a couple of rather large square so im guessing they were supposed to be metal?)
Is anyone using his map on their server?

[mooseberry]

No.

alright listen up. a forum board is ment to be for a statement to post up in front of multiple people, not to ask one person something.
