Textures always repeat

Post by Olsen »

Hi there,

I've searched this forum to find a solution, but all the relevant threads are abandoned and no answer was given...

My textures align and look fine in MoHRadiant, but they're always tiled (repeated) across their surface in the game. No matter if I make them "fit" or scale/shift them by hand.

I'm about to give up if this can't be fixed. Come on, so many people had this problem, did they all just quit mapping?

The only way this is possible is if you didn't recompile the map.

None of the above.

I tried MBuilder, and it worked correctly. So I had a look at the .bat file MBuilder created. I believe the problems were caused by the internal bsp_* commands from the menu. It uses something like "-gamedir ../mohaa" which isn't correct. Just replaced the "../mohaa" with the basepath ("g:/action/mohaa") and it worked.

I added these two lines to my "default.qe4" file:

Code: Select all

"bsp_Compile (fast)" "! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\q3map -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $ && ! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\q3map -vis -fast -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $ && ! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\mohlight -fast -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $"

Code: Select all

"bsp_Compile (final)" "! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\q3map -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $ && ! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\q3map -vis -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $ && ! g:\action\mohaa\radiant\mohlight -extra -final -gamedir g:\action\mohaa $"
And that does the job. No more MBuilder needed.

If someone ever has a problem with his Radiant installation (no popup menu when pressing the right mouse button etc.) try deleting the MoHRadiant registry key to reset the configuration, then do all settings again. With all those shortcuts scattered around the keyboard, it's too easy to do something wrong.

I dunno if this helps but I had exactly that problem. It was because I was using the menu from MOHRadiant to compile. I started using MBuilder and it's sorted.
Hope that's of some use.
