I found myself in a dark alley with no way out, so I thought I'd share this mystery with you all.
I've been playing around with pools of water (isn't that fun) but for some peculiar reason I can't get the liquids to liquidate properly.
In this little map (yea, it's a map) all the textures under /liquids (http://openarena.ws/svn/textures/liquids/) are used, but only 2 of the lava, 1 acid:ish and 1 water works.

 So is there something wrong in my GTK setup, my incompetence or is it that liquids simply aren't liquid because it seems like only the .tga files will actually work and act fluidly.

Here is the map

About 5 of your Textures don't show for me. Like liquids/bubbles.

From my use of water in OpenArena you have to apply the water textures that have no image. The ones that say: Shader Image Missing.

Like Hydrowater, Hydrowater2, Islewater, justwater, acid, lavahell_750, oldacid, refwater, rapidwater, softlava, softwater, tele & waveywater.

I edited your file to show.

Ok, that is interesting. None of the textures show in my GTK (shader not found) but all has the proper water/lava/liquid functions.
I.e none of the shaders you applied, I have access to..
Code:

I know I had trouble figuring out what ones I could use as Water, lava acid etc.. and what where just the textures, that where nothing but images.

So I modified the liquid_water.shader, to use a default image in map editing. for all the water_liquids.At this moment it doesn't include lava or acid. As I believe they should have there own default texture to distinguish them from water.

What it does is instead of have a "Missing Shader Texture" it uses a texture called water.tga(Its blue with the words "water" on it). This way map editors can tell what they can use and cant use. Smiley

Rename the .zip to .pk3 & place in the baseoa folder to use. This is merely to help in mapping, and you dont need to include any of these files in the release .pk3, if you decide to use it.

I wrote all this just before you replied. I think your shaderlist is outdated.
Mine is:
Code:
// Created by QuArK
// No shader in this map
common
common2
oasky
oafx
beams
liquid_lavas
liquid_water
oalite
oaflares
oanew
oa_fogs
kaznexctf2
quark
el3dm1
evil8
light
skies
clown

Ok, now I'm confused (as usual). When I replace my default_shaderlist.txt with what you posted, it won't show any others than the old ones, even after flushing. Where should be default location for that file, or should if have another name than default_shaderlist.txt when contents is added?

You shouldn't need a shaderlist.txt or default_* in any of the GtkRadiant directories. As OpenArena comes with its own in pak0.pk3

Then it is even more odd since I have the 0.7 pak0.pk3 (patched with 0.7.1) and nothing added apart from that. OA is not installed from SVN this time around, but GTK Radiant is.

Can you take a screenshot of your problem so I can figure out what it could be.

And my modification to oa_lt.pk3 textures display up fine in OpenArena?

Do you have any feature that removes texture that don't have a texture?
Do you have "Hide Image Missing" Enabled in the View option in the texture window?

If so Disable "Hide Image Missing".

Where do you get the actual textures from?
I can't find them in the SVN, nor were they in my shaderlist until now after I added both yours and sagos..
Settings in GTK seems to be ok by the way..

For reference:

Code:
textures/liquids/hydrowater
{
surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm trans
surfaceparm water
cull disable
tessSize 32
fogparms ( 0.215686 0.278431 0.333333 ) 1024
{
map textures/liquids/pool2.tga
blendfunc filter
tcMod scroll 0.05 0.05
}
{
map textures/liquids/pool3d_4b2.tga
blendfunc add
rgbGen const ( 0.501961 0.501961 0.501961 )
tcMod scroll -0.03 -0.06
}
{
map textures/liquids/pool3d_4b2.tga
blendfunc add
rgbGen const ( 0.501961 0.501961 0.501961 )
tcGen environment
}
{
map $lightmap
blendfunc filter
rgbGen identity
}
}

The reason why some of your test "liquifications" aren't working is because you are just using the textures, not the shaders.  The shaders in Radiant are shown by the white box around the texture image.

Without the surfaceparm water/lava/slime the compiler + engine will not create water/lava/slime.  (also judging by the missing textures that show up in your map in my 0.7.1 install you have some extra textures that aren't in the game, probably in your ~/.openarena/baseoa/textures/ directory)

Been checking this several times over and even though there are small white frames around certain textures (i.e shaders connected) they do not behave like liquids. Others who have tried compiling that test map get similar issues, but no missing textures.
I did have a texture which I experimented with as a water dummy in /textures, but I really can't find anything wrong in the setup.

Making a long story short, I'm off to get the whole thing off the SVN again...

Is that your oa_lt.map? or the modified oa_lt.map I did?

If its yours then the reason is because your using the texture & not the shader.

Shaders for me display as a "Shader Image Missing" Because there is no texture to link to it in GtkRadiant.

If you check one of my above post I posted a .pk3 that applies a texture to the "Shader Image Missing" shaders. That says "Water" with a blue background. This will allow you to find all the water shaders you can use as water. However I did not implement it for Acid or Lava.

As shown below.

Actually, I found this after MUCH searching through the net:

Hi!

I'm trying to fix a bug in Radiant 1.5 but now I'm completely confused and hope that someone can help me. Note: I've never really played Q3 and never mapped for it.

Here's the problem:

Quote from bugzilla (http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1114):
Quote:
The liquid shaders in q3 do not show up, only the textures, but not the white surrounding indicating it is a shader, this makes it impossible to use any liquids, it only creates solid blocks. It worked in 1.4.

I found out that it's a naming problem:
Quote:
A temporary fix should be to rename the entry "liquids" in the shaderlist.txt to "liquid" (without the trailing "s").

But while looking at the shaderlist.txt that currently comes with Radiant 1.5 (link), I noticed that some entries are commented out and I wanted to know why. I looked at my Q3A 1.32 installation and found out that several entries in the shaderlist.txt didn't match. Examples:

- eerie is commented out. Why? That shader file looks good.
- There are entries for gothic_button and gothic_door in the shaderlist.txt but I don't have the corresponding .shader files.

I'm a complete Q3 noob and don't know about the difference between Quake 3 Arena and Quake 3 Team Arena and have no idea what that missionpack is good for that comes with Radiant and its own shaderlist.txt.

Maybe you understand now why I'm confused

It would be great if somebody could give me some information about all this Q3 specific things so that a complete and correct shaderlist.txt file can be put in Radiant 1.5.
So, I threw out old GTK, downloaded new from SVN and wouldn't you think it? I'm stuck again! Smiley
This time I have NO textures at all, loool....
