769? err, wha? I tried 1024x768 before and JA wasn't happy. Why on earth would it accept 769? In what dimension is that a power of 2?...  [Read More]

I've used flares many times but I usually place them on point lights and not in shaders. I've never written a shader with that command in it, but if you post the two you are referring to, maybe we can see something. I'm not really sure where you've a...  [Read More]

Are you mapping for SP or MP? Some of the weather features and effects don't work in MP. I'm not certain which. If you go into SP mapping mode in radiant, you'll have spawnflag boxes under fx_snow and fx_rain that will give you mist (I assume thats...  [Read More]

I believe auto-caulking was removed from radiant because it was buggy. Selecting a brush and pressing ctrl-m still makes the brush a detail, though. Yes, it does unselect the brush after it makes it detail. If you want to confirm the brush is detail,...  [Read More]

On any point light entity add Key '_flare' with Value '1'. That will give you a default white flare. To specify a different flare shader, use Key '_flareshader' with Value of the flare shader you want to use. For example: textures/flares/flare_pulse...  [Read More]

Hrm, I don't know if that works in mp or not. I've only played with weather in singleplayer. Spawnflags 64 is just lightning in sp. Its not rain. If you use Heavy Rain, spawnflags 4 in sp, it automatically has lightning and mist. I can only suggest...  [Read More]

I dont know what lightningfx key you're talking about, but lightning is available under the fx_rain entity. Assuming you're using gtkradiant 1.3.12: You can click on the box in the fx_rain that says 'heavy' and that will give you rain, fog, and light...  [Read More]

Highlight the brush you're trying to clip. Place the clip points. Youll notice one section of the brush will turn yellow. Thats the section that will remain after you clip it (by pressing Enter). To change which section remains, hold Ctrl then press...  [Read More]

Darth Kaan, you're not understanding what gtkradiant does. Those shaders arent provided with the editors. They come from the game. Only the system shaders and a few others were provided with gtkradiant I believe. gtkradiant only provides the shaders...  [Read More]

To those who don't know, a skyportal is an alternative to the standard skybox. You make a room that serves as a skybox, put in a misc_skyportal in that room, and use caulk for your skies. It allows you to have moving objects in your sky among other t...  [Read More]
