HELP! GTKRadient 1.5!

[Survivor]

Did you follow the steps after .game in the wiki?

The ".game" directory

GtkRadiant 1.5 will look for files in a directory with the same name as your .game file. In this case it will be looking in GtkRadiant-1.5/trem.game/. Create this directory. The files that GtkRadiant looks for in this directory can be downloaded in a zip file here.

This zip file contains:

   * game.xlink: Links to mapping related documentation.
   * default_build_menu.xml: Default compile strings for GtkRadiant's Build menu.
   * entities.def: Entity definition file with all the tremulous specific entities.
   * default_shaderlist.txt: Lists all the shaders to be loaded by the editor and q3map2.

Extract this archive to GtkRadiant-1.5/.

If everything is in the right place you should find game.xlink and default_build_menu.xml in GtkRadiant-1.5/trem.game/ while entities.def' and default_shaderlist.txt should be in GtkRadiant-1.5/trem.game/base/.

Common files

Because GtkRadiant does not natively support Tremulous, there are a number of necessary files missing. These files can be downloaded in a zip file here or here.

This zip file contains:

   * entities.def: Entity definition file with all the tremulous specific entities.
   * common-spog.pk3: Contains all the editor images for the common shaders.
   * common.shader: All the common shaders, caulk, nonsolid, nodraw, etc.
   * shaderlist.txt: Lists all the shaders to be loaded by the editor and q3map2.

Extract this archive to Tremulous/base/.

If everything is in the right place you should find common-spog.pk3 in Tremulous/base/. The rest of the files, entities.def', common.shader and shaderlist.txt, should be in Tremulous/base/scripts/.

Yes, to the dot.

[Survivor]

At a loss atm.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Ill contact Jex about it, maybe he can turn up some answers?

[Survivor]

Might, but i think you might have misplaced something or missed something small again. Racking my brain to think about what it could be.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

yeah, I must have missed Something. I just cant think of or see what.
Anyway, Im off to bed, Ill be cracking my head open tomorrow as well though.

Thx for your help.

Newer versions have better Vista support.

Download the last one: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/files/radiant/nightly/1.5/GtkRadiant-1.5.0-2007-03-08-GODFATHER.msi

And read http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=52521 to know how to configure the extra files correctly. Hope it will help a bit.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Cheers mWarrior, mybe this will turn up something as well.

 

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Omg, thank you so much Warrior and Survivot, It Worked!

However there is always a black box with a white dot in the centre of it in the screens on the grid. Other than that, all screens are just black.

Is there a setting which can deqactivate this?

[Survivor]

Load up a texture set, create a brush and switch themes by going to misc>colors>themes. If the problem persist printscreen it and post it.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

How do I load a texture set?
I think I know how to create a brush, drag the mouse in the grid?
Ive switched themes, nothing has happened.

[Survivor]

Strange, only thing i can come up with is the z-axis locator but they took that out of 1.5. What happens if you shift+right click somewhere on the grid?

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Nothing, when it starts up it is always just plain black, sometimes it turns to a grid.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Also the screens are really spazzy, it changes from a grey screen, to a black screen, to the grid, and Im not sure why.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

As well as that the function of each window keeps on changing, sometimes I can see 3D models on one, then it changes to a grid, its all nailed up.

[Warrior]

Try with other settings at Edit menu -> Preferences -> Display -> Textures -> "Hardware Texture Compression" or "Texture Render Mode". Change those options and see if some work. If it stays black, I would say your Graphic drivers might have some problem... especially with OpenGL.

[Press "O" to show your Console and see if Gtk detect your GL_RENDERER correctly during its startup (that should show your graphic card name)]

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

My bro figured it out, to use GTK 1.5, YOU MUST DISABLE AERO ON VISTA!
This is only a style.

Control Panel-Personalization-Window Colour and Appearance-Choose any theme other than aero.

Now GTK fully works, thank you all!

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Wait a sec, I dont have a y-axis grid view...
And I cant find it anywhere.

ctrl+tab

[Mantra]

except for

Code Select Expand

except for

Code:
enginepath_win32="<path to Tremulous>/"  

Which shows you did not enter the path to tremulous.
Is there anyway this could be made clearer in the wiki?
I had this trouble for weeks too until orc smacked me in the face.
(Now I'm trying to figure out how to fix those damn textures problems when I compile. I supose in a few weeks or so I won't have found out and I'll post something like what he did up there and make myself look like a moron too :p)

But really, that line of code should really be made obvious you have to change it(I'm no coder or anything and its a pain in the butt to figure out such things.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Exactly Mantra, if they were to add simply a line or remindinfg you to personalize the code, we would all be spared my n00bish rants.

[Survivor]

Would expect people to read through the stuff they are installing but have it your way.

[ShadowNinjaDudeMan]

Thanks Mantra, the Cntrl+Tab works, cheers.
