NoDraw Texture...

Post by trav1s »

I asked this at the bottom of my last post but not got any answers...i just need some help with this:

I'm making iron stairs...and have the iron texture ontop of the brush, and the rest of the brush is completely NoDraw texture. When i compile it and load up in moh, the no draw texture shows up as a yellow surface with lines on it, i've tried messing about with surface settings and stuff, but cant get it to work properly.

Please anyone help :cry:

Spearhead SDK, or MohTools? Yellow with white lines means the texture is missing from the "main" or "mainta" folder of your game.

1.moh tools

2.Cant use Caulk cos I need to be able to shoot through it, the texture above has holes in it and you need to be able to shoot through from both sides (like steps in V2) if i compile with another texture it says i should only mix fence masks with nodraw.

still need help :(

p.s If it is missing from my folder, why? and where can i get it back from?

thans for help :P :oops:

entdefs.pk3

It should be in "entdefs.pk3" in main, but I don't see how you could even find nodraw if that was missing. Do you have the game installed in two places?

If you don't have "entdefs.pk3" in main, move it from the MOHTools/docs folder to the MOHAA/main folder in the game.

Do you have Spearhead installed ?? - Have you cleaned out your "main" directory - i.e got rid of all custom .pk3s ??

i have got spearhead installed, not the sdk though, and i did clear out my "main" folder when i was using pandora, but since i started mapping its got entdefs and some custom maps in it...

any ideas? maybe a reinstall or could i download a nodraw pk3 anywhere? what i dont understand is, if the texture is missing, whys it only showing as yellow in my map, surely its used in the default maps too?

thanks for help

OK if you are mapping for MoHAA and you have Spearhead installed - You MUST rename the mainta (i have it as (mainta) ) This will stop cross contamination of textures... Whats happened is that you probably have used the Spearhead No Draw texture instead of the MoHAA one.......

I think Surgeon ment to say, "I have it as Xmainta". That will disable the spearhead main folder, so you wont accidentally use spearhead textures in your map.

If you want to send me your map file, I will look at it.
