.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I tell you, MOHRadiant amazes me every day.


jv_map I did what you said again...and removed fence box and checked nonsolid....like I've done 50 times before...and this time it worked.


Now I just hope it works on the rest of the net, only tried a small piece.


Thanks!

jv_map:

that didn't work either

Made all caulk surfaces on the camo net into nodraw. Selected the camo net surface and made nonsolid.

Selecting the whole brush and applying nonsolid turns all the nodraw surfaces into camonet surfaces when I hit apply. Turning off ladder checkbox won't work ...

gener_al,

that doesn't seem to work.

let me tell you how I understood what you said.

Clone the brush with the camo netting and place it above the existing one. Apply nodraw texture to the surface below the cloned camo net that touches the original camo net.


Doing this still makes it a solid ...

go to view->lighting and see what's checked. If "use real lighting" is checked that might be the problem


I have only "use surface lights" checked.

ok thanks, I'll try that once I figure out why I can't see any textures in 3D view with no filters on.

*edit*
and after digging through old posts I figured it out Somehow I inadvertently changed my texture view mode.

I'm trying to make an infantry emplacement with a camo netting covering.

Problem is, I can't figure out how to make the camo netting nonsolid.

I've tried checking "nonsolid" in the surface inspector but it's still solid.

here's a pic of what I'm working on to give you a better idea:

http://home ...

running XP pro, 512 megs of rambus

Kinda acts like a memory problem, but on some huge maps I can still load the textures and some other smaller prefab-only maps I can't.


Might be time to add more RAM anyway.

I've understood that when assigning an angle value to something like a ladder or door, you assume that 360/0 degrees is on the left when looking top-down.

However, on different maps I've had different results using this method. Sometimes it works, other times it's been off by 180 degrees.

Which is ...

Is this really the same program used by the mapmakers of MOH:AA?

Latest annoyance:
I cannot load the general structure textures into the texture window while my main working map is loaded. Radiant crashes anytime I try. So..to make anything with these textures I have to make them as prefabs and ...

example:

say I select 4 brushes that make up an arch.

is there anyway to bind those brushes together so that they are forever treated as one brush?

doh!
well thanks for the info, Surgeon

I'll try smaller patches and see if it helps.

I made a big model of a bridge, and last night added lots of texture to it.

Tonight I decided to retexture it, so I made a large brush over the entire bridge(only thing on the map) and used "select inside". Then I apply caulk texture to everything. Then when I click on the 2D map, MOHradiant ...
