There are a few things to learn, Emon, but the sentiment of your post rings true: all the new things (shift+s patch-mesh texture inspector, the plugins, the new preferences, the new grid options) will probably take a combined half-hour to figure out-...  [Read More]

Try this in JK2Radiant (it's been so long since I've used JK2Radiant that I'm not sure if this is the correct bug-inducing procedure, but I remember it went something like this): 1. Create a simple patch mesh. 2. Move it around. 3. Hit ctrl+z "...  [Read More]

The caulk_water part is a fix for a long-standing Radiant bug. RD's tutorial mentions using regular system/caulk for the sides of your water brushes--most people use system/nodraw instead--but sometimes, if you do it that way, your water will fail at...  [Read More]

How to make water: 1. Before you get started, open up common.shader (in base/shaders/) and add this code to the end of it:textures/common/caulk_water { surfaceparm water surfaceparm nodraw surfaceparm nonsolid surfaceparm trans }Now download t...  [Read More]

Devmap your map, then (in console) do: toggle r_speeds. You'll see a ton of numbers, like this: 48/104 shaders/surfs 46 leafs 2126 verts 1659/2211 tris 0.00 mtex 0.00 dc The bold, underlined one is the one you're interested in (it isn't bold and un...  [Read More]

Tee-hee, TL... the thing that is aggrivating to me is that jk2sp.exe can take a map with a small, doesn't-hurt-my-framerate lightmap and smooth it out to the point of beauty, where jk2mp.exe can't. To get SP looks out of MP, you have to _lightmapscal...  [Read More]

Heh, thanks for the concern, guys. This was just a quick proof-of-concept map; the textures were chosen quasi-randomly, solely because I thought they were different enough from each other that I could see if the alpha-blending was working properly. Y...  [Read More]

Yeah. All you have to do is open up yourmap.shader in Notepad and add this to the end of it:textures/common/terrain { q3map_terrain surfaceparm nodraw surfaceparm nolightmap surfaceparm nomarks } That's all it takes. Let me know when you've got...  [Read More]

Yes, I used EasyGen for this, but it was a little bit of a pain in the ass. Truthfully, though, the only hard part was getting past everybody that said "oh, you can't do that in JK2." Other than that, you have to remember that when people t...  [Read More]

There's a new entity key for lights when you compile with newer versions of q3map2. I think this comes with versions 2.5.3 and newer: flare_radius. Just give it a key/value pair of flare_radius/1 and do a q3map2 compile... here (http://www.shadowspaw...  [Read More]
