Title: A Few Questions Post by: allanlw on November 14, 2008, 07:21:26 PM I'm working on a map, and I've run into some problems, so I decided to ask them here.
1. when ever I create water/a liquid, the brush looks correct, but it remains solid. I've tried all the different methods of making a liquid that I could find on Google. 2. How do I add bots to my map? 3. What are the criteria for getting my map included into openarena? 4. this isn't applicable to my map, but I was looking at the sources for a lot of the others, and why aren't the non-visible sides of those maps caulked? (ex. fan) If it makes a difference I'm just using q3map instead of OA map (I didn't have an oamap) Title: Re: A Few Questions Post by: Speaker on November 22, 2008, 03:13:14 AM Question 1:
You make the brush and apply a water texture to all faces of the brush. These can be found in the directory 'liquids'. Be careful to select a texture which has a WHITE border around it in the GtkRadiant texture browser (e.g. 'clear_calm1'). The white border means that it is actually a shader which specifies 'surfaceparm water' in its script. Question 2: When the map is compiled to a bsp file, run BSPC as follows: bspc.exe -forcesidesvisible -bsp2aas [drive]:\[path]\mapname.bsp where 'mapname' is the name of your map. This will produce the file '[drive]:\[path]\mapname.aas'. You must include this file into the final PK3, in the directory 'maps'. BTW, PK3 files are standard format ZIP files, they can be manipulated for example by Total Commander. |
