hey does anyone know hot to make grass in a map that looks exactly like the grass in ctf3???? ive tried everything and i cant find a forum that has already covered this topic so plz help me.
theres grass in yavin and imperial i think
likea tall grass or grass poping out of ground
if its poping out of ground look for textures with phong i think
what if i want to add a sprite to my custom made texture???? meaning.....i have the ground cover and i want to add grass to it
ok so i looked up a lot of ****, and i have made my custom shader with the groud i want and grass.
PROBLEM:
the shader can not be found when i open gtk radient.
if there is anything u need me to do i.e. copy the shader file......just ask cause i really want to solve this problem.
well make sure none of the important stuff is missing like the editor image
or
just post the code stuff
ok well i dont know what the editor image is.......but heres the txt form of the shader:

well might be you need to tab over 1 i think open like common in wordpad and figure out how many spaces there are
The tabs are optional. They also don't post to the forum unless you put them in code tags.
Did you add your shader file name to the file shaderlist.txt? That's a simple beginner error to make.
yay they're optional
speacking of wich shader wise how do you make floors reflect stuff like not player i forgot command
how do u add it to the shaderlist.txt????????
and how do u make reflective floors??????
Open up shaderlist.txt, and type the name of your shader file. (If your shader file is mymap.shader, add the line "mymap" to the shaderlist.)
As for reflective floors...find a reflective floor shader from the game and open it up in notepad, that ought to tell you what you need to know. The stage marked "tcGen environment" is the "shiny" bit. Search these forums if you need more information.
thx for helping me out with that problem.
ive got one more question concerning the topic of shaders..........
QUESTION:
if i want to make a design, like a logo or a personal seal etc........how do i make it so the gaps between the design of the logo are made invisible rather than white???????????
would i copy and paste my logo onto the caulk shader and save as "mylogo" ??????????
Ha, no. You've gotta load up the image in a good image editing program and make sure the alpha channel is set to 0% (full transparency) in those areas. I'm not gonna explain as it varies from program to program, and that's not so much a mapping question...you'd better search for tutorials for whatever image progam is your favorite. Google the program name and "alpha channel."
Or, set those areas to BLACK and use blendfunc add--but that'll give you some wierd colors.
