.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Well, I tried doing that... It didn't work, so that's why I'm asking about it.
Thanks, though.

Yes, what I asked was how to have a light not affect a door.

But, that is not all I asked.

I asked how to make a light not affect a door, but also affect everything behind the door (I should have made this more explicit). My topic was more specific than blocking light. Blocking the light from the ...

I beg to differ! The topic is no_entity_light, and there are already posts about sunblock and caulk shadow.

...And blocking the light, as I said before, is not a possible solution.

Whoa let's not get off topic here. I'm not trying to get some kind of non-solid sunblocker here. I already addresed that in a post about tree shadows. All I'm trying to do is figure out the no_entity_light stuff that is built into light entities.

I've come up with some more info on the subject.

I managed to fix that one texture. Somehow, I made the backround (the silver lining) black (into an unnoticeable black lining). The trouble, though, is that I still don't know how to do it. I still have a bunch of textures, and I can't afford to ...

Well, I still want the light to affect everything behind the door. The light needs to either not affect the door or to not exist at all.

When you select a light in Radiant, and pull up the entity window, the second check box for the light reads NO_ENTITIES, and the description box says "...if "NO_ENTITIES" is set, this light will only effect the world, not entities". There is also a key listed (but no corresponding value) as no ...

The texture's shader? Okay.

You have a way with words, Random! That annoying "silver lining" is exactly what I am talking about. You were right on the mark, except that when I open the picture in Photoshop, the half-transperant pixels are still just that - they don't have a backround added to them yet, and so I can't change ...

Hey, I'm using Photoshop 7.0 to make my .tgas for fence textures. The transperancy works fine. It's the blurred edges of the opaque pixels that are giving me trouble. Since targas don't support half-transperancies (or anything in between [or is that just me?]), Photoshop always uses some kind of ...

Well... I'm not entirely sure, but...

I just took a quick look at the radiant. It looked like 180 degrees was pointing east. If your ladder is facing south, like you said, and its angle is 180 degrees, MOHAA probably thinks your ladder is facing east (180 degrees) instead of south (270 degrees ...

Oh yeah. The "cull none", of course, isn't necessary.

Awesome. Thanks for all the help.

Here's what I've come up with:

My goal was to make a shadow that looks like a tree, but is also non solid and invisible. I couldn't find any textures like this in MOHAA so I made my own using one of the tree pictures.

Well I couldn't find light_clip but I found a texture just called light. It affected lighting, of course, but it's also visible and solid. Arg.

I can't find the answer. I've found a few single-tree masked textures that cast some nice tree shadows for the tree entities, but grenades bounce off of them and that is extremely odd. What is the best method for adding shadows to trees? Is it possible for a fence texture to cast a shadow and yet be ...
