Can't use shaders...

[Flower]

Hello.

I'm trying to do light coming out from my textures, but it's obviously not working.

My map is located here [.map] :

C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps

My shader file is here [.shader] :

C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps\scripts\vertigo.shader

and it's content ...

Code: [Select]

textures/atcs/eq2lt_baselt03b_blue
{
surfaceparm nomarks
q3map_surfacelight 3000
q3map_lightimage textures/atcs/eq2_baselt03b_blue.blend.tga
qer_editorimage textures/atcs/eq2_baselt03b_blue.tga
{
map $lightmap
rgbGen identity
}
{
map textures/atcs/eq2_baselt03b_blue.tga
blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
rgbGen identity
}
{
map textures/atcs/eq2_baselt03b_blue.blend.tga
blendfunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
}
}


Some textures here :

C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps\textures\atcs

Can somebody explain me what I'm doing wrong? I don't use Q3Map2Toolz for compiling because I get thousand of Run-time errors (even if I have all the VB dll and ocx).

Did you add your shaderfilename to the shaderlist? It's in the scripts directory as well.

Did you add your shaderfilename to the shaderlist? It's in the scripts directory as well.

Do I need to write the complete path like c:\... or what? I dont understand how its getting the files. It's searching in every dir?

[Survivor]

You have a shaderlist.txt in the scripts directory.
Just open it with wordpad and add the name of the shaderfile you are using at the bottom.
So if you have a shaderfile named 'mymap.shader' add mymap at the bottom of the shaderlist. Just save as shaderlist.txt after that and try again.

Example for using pulse's shaderfile should you have it's .map.

I still have a black room => no lights...

try changing textures/atcs/eq2lt_baselt03b_blue to
textures/vertigo/eq2lt_baselt03b_blue

My shader file is here [.shader] :

C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps\scripts\vertigo.shader

I am pretty sure this is completely wrong, compare it to other maps .shader files.

My shader file is here [.shader] :

C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps\scripts\vertigo.shader

I am pretty sure this is completely wrong, compare it to other maps .shader files.

And of course the obvious solution. Script is a seperate directory besides maps. It's not in maps. So
C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\scripts\vertigo.shader

<Flower`> hey guys
<Flower`> I have a serious question about mapping
<nja> and girls you jerk
<Flower`> here it goes
<Flower`> and sexy girls :)
<Flower`> cause I love girls more than boys
<Flower`> but whateva
<Flower`> so
<Flower`> here it goes
<Flower`> I have a map : C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\maps\rpg.bsp
<Flower`> and a shader : C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\scripts\rpg.shader
<Flower`> containing info about a texture
<Flower`> to make light
<Flower`> when I compile with light fast
<Flower`> I only see darkness
<Flower`> is there something missing?

Here's my .shader file content :

I had to put the name of my map in ~/games/tremulous/scripts/shaderlist.txt before radiant would find them. I guess in windows this would be C:/Program Files/tremulous/scripts/shaderlist.txt

Here's my map file...
