okay, in your pk3, check that:
omaha.shader is in /scripts
loading_omaha.urc is in /ui
omaha_loading.tga is in /textures/mohmenu/dmloading

Check Pantera's post again:
Do u use a Targa image? With the shader u are using, a Jpeg won't work. Or delete those green lines (as stated) when using a jpg - which is smaller anyway.

[divaid]

yep did it all correctly. Only I my map dmloading is named objloading because it is an objective typed map. offcourse I set it all to match this objloading (in the scripts)

[wacko]

in omaha.shader (line 12) it's 'dmloading'

[Gen Cobra]

Well sometimes this can be the problem. When you saved the image you might have mistakenly not saved it as a 32 tga and instead just saved it as a 24 bit tga. And for some reason it says dmloading in your shader.

[wacko]

The General is right, this would cause a non working image. To be sure, why not convert your image to Jpeg, save it as omaha_loading.jpg where the tga is and change your omaha.shader to

Code: Select all

omaha 
{ 
nomipmaps 
nopicmip 
cull none 
surfaceparm nolightmap 
{ 
clampMap textures/mohmenu/objloading/omaha_loading.tga 
} 
} 

calling the image 'omaha_loading.tga' is fine, even when using a jpg!

This way u could exclude one potential error and it would look quite the same.

[omniscient]

um, dont u use dm loading even when its an obj?

[wacko]

Only I my map dmloading is named objloading

um, dont u use dm loading even when its an obj?

so, what is it, what u did???
anyway, I would always use 'dmloading'. But the only important thing is that u use the SAME folder name in the shader and in the pk3, else the shader will obviously not find the texture.
If u put omaha_loading.tga in textures/mohmenu/dmloading, u must use
clampMap textures/mohmenu/dmloading/omaha_loading.tga in the shader

d/l http://www.decalattack.com/moh/omaha.pk3, put ur map omaha.bsp in the folder maps/obj and try to start the map.

[divaid]

thanks, I will take a look

[Gen Cobra]

Yeha it is all about the paths. It doesnt need to be in mohmenu/demloading it could be in my_loadscreen/my_loadscreen.

[omniscient]

i said dmloading, not him lol.
