It looks like a good solid start, but its kinda lackluster. On a basic mapping level, there's not enough detail towards the edges of the room--try roughing up the walls a little, at the very least use the clipper to cut out some of the stone blocks a... [Read More]
Yeah, "soundset" is not for a specific sound file. "soundset" refers to one of the sets in sounds/sound.txt, such as impdoor1, rainy, etc. Individual sound files go with the "noise" and "sound" keys.... [Read More]
Originally posted by Nalukai and im not sure about the sound key and values what is the maximum value for sound or at least a good medium to about half full volume??? Just FYI, you can't change the volume of a target_speaker with any key. You just... [Read More]
For a target_speaker, you want to set the NOISE key equal to the sound file, and have no music key. But usually, target_speakers are just used for sound clips. Global game music should be set by setting the MUSIC key on the worldspawn.... [Read More]
First of all, NEVER make the whole map detail brushes--you need to seal off your map from the void! However, if your canyon is a terrain or a large number of brushes in general, making it detail (inside a structural hull) is a very good idea. There... [Read More]
Absolutely! Just edit the vertices and change them from this + + + | | | | + + + | | | | + + + To something like this: + | + | + + + + | | | | + + + In one of the side views.... [Read More]
Another option--hold ALT and click-drag a box to select everything inside that box. The disadvantage compared to "select inside" is that you don't have 3D control.... [Read More]
Place the model in the position you want with respect to the train, and target the misc_model at the func_train. This works with any kind of func_.... [Read More]
Ah, the classic HALO map. It looks like pretty much nothing right now. Be sure to try EasyGen for the texturing and for all the hills in the middle of the map!... [Read More]
func_usables do something different than you think. They are essentially bits of map geometry that sit there until triggered, at which point they disappear from the map until triggered again. They're not "pressable" buttons for players to u... [Read More]
A "batch file" isn't a necessary part of the process. It just says "compile with ..." and you get to choose your OWN favorite compile method! Incidentally, I do have a batch, but it is oft-modified...and I don't touch the Gtk comp... [Read More]
mslaf's is in a hard to read format and includes all that TOTALLY UNNECESSARY stuff on editing the .ase file in Notepad. I don't understand why allt he complication over this...you jsut build your model out of whatever you want in Radiant, put it in... [Read More]
Sometimes a useful exercise is to look at a real object or building and think about how to build it with brushes. Just to get a sense of how to build "real"-looking things in Radiant.... [Read More]
KOTORMJAY applied to Raven? With that piece of crap flight school in his portfolio? :rolleyes: Vogel, glad to help! I hate to see new mappers feel turned away by thte community or discouraged in any way. Constructive criticism can be hard to take, b... [Read More]
I like how some areas are "recognizable," but they are pretty sparse right now. Especially the floors and cielings. Just a couple brushes to add some depth to the textures would be a huge improvement.... [Read More]
