Title: textures and GTKRadiant
Post by: me on March 04, 2011, 09:34:41 AM
Hey guys so basically im using MacRadiant on an intel mac. For some reason when I load up textures 90% of them don't load up. It just fills with some kinda shader error image. Not only on the Quake 3 mode and stuff. and when I test them on OA the textures i do have just show up as those white squares  :(
any suggestions?

I'm not a Mac user, but I'll try to help if I can...

Do you have the paths set? Go to Edit => Preferences => Paths and check that the path is pointing to the game's folder.

So i checked the paths in MacRadiant..they were both empty :( so I set it the Prefab Path and the User INI path to the Quake 3 folder. I reloaded the stuff but it still just said Shader Not found..darn i wish i had an ubuntu computer! I love ubuntu...

You should point those to where you have the pak*.pk3 files (without including baseoa/baseq3) which comes with the game, not the home folder or the executables.

For example if your path is /.../games/openarena/baseoa, the fragment you need is /.../games/openarena/.

so i need some clarification- so i got the quake files from the packs downloader thing that comes with GTK..should i point it to the quake 3 folder that i got from the packs thing or a folder that is part of the open arena stuff?

also there is a q3ut4 folder in the q3 should i route the prefab to the folder labeled prefab inside? cause the folder is empty...

also thanks for the welcome! gotta say open arena makes me remember all the years of playing id stuff. its great! :)

so i tried messing around with textures that don't show up in GTKRadiant right? turns out that a ton of the textures that don't work in GTK work awesome in OA. thanks for your help but looks like i can get started on some maps! thanks!
