.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I have done a fair amount of tests with variuos water textures and their uses and found that the original MOHAA ones vary in how you use them.

First thing to realise is that not all the textures you see in Radiant are meant to be used on their own. Most water textures in game are actually 'bundles ...

LOL August release GD! First I have heard of it hehehe perhaps a partial or first release but unlike other Mods I suspect that this mod will be an on going development process with further releases more maps and mods.
Also a great support team for users when released, which with you on the team to ...

hehehe

Tell you what Sumo, another project that is well developed but needs alot of work and finishing is Pointe Du Hoc.
Its been sitting on my computer shelf for 10 months,
The major terrain is done and several bunkers and a rough obj area but it really needs a through overhaul and rework.

I will ...

nice making a tutorial,
though it has been sitting there in Omaha m3l1a.scr clear as day for sometime LOL

eg:

//*** pulling the fog back
main_boat_ride_fog:

println "FARPLANE: the g_ddayfog value: " (getcvar(g_ddayfog))

if (getcvar(g_ddayfog) == "2") //*** low setting
{
local.farplane ...

So how old are you then, and hey this is "my" post how dare you have so much fun here lol.

What a smuck!

And I tried to sound so knowledgable!

There is a good reason jpg is smaller, its called compression
Even at best resolution a jpg distorts more than a tga because of the way the jpg format stores the image information.
Hence in PSP for example you can use the jpg artifact remover to in some ways improve the image by removing in the ...

I have had one of em days today too. map would compile then crash in MOH saying wrong type of TGA ...ARG!!!!!! BUT WHICH ONE there were dozens!!!!!
Finicky shader problems didnt help either.

Basically it looks as though those textures dont even need shaders unless you want to use the decal features ...

Ummm thing is I have noticed that sometimes it does it automatically to certain textures other times not and only certain textures.
What I mean is it usually very noticable with 'Text' textures obviously and its happens both with brushes and patches.
But its not consistent some time latter using the ...

Having a bad memory and being as old as Balr does not help at all

But if my leaky memory serves could you have changed the tessSize by accident?

But you do need to explain what texture what shader values etc you are on about?

Maybe the nodes were not high enough.


Ummm I have noticed that recently.
While looking at decompiled SP maps like m3l1a all the paths and path nodes were high up....perhaps a decompile result but perhaps not.
Yet look at m4l0 and all the nodes are at ground height.

Also I noticed in a map I ...

try a basic map with the same stairs without a route for it and a routelist you will prbably find they dont want to use stairs.

I have tried adding and subtracting nodes from 1 in the middle of the stairs to practically head to tail nodes.

I ought to try and get the path debug thing on it but I ...

Thats lakeside isnt it?

Found a funny thing happens if you get it right.
As allies if you wait at bottom of ladder to Doom type sewer ...LOL
