Detail brushes have not beeing saved

[Pollo_Expresss]

Hi I have that problem, when I save my map and reload it all the detail brushes are lost, they are simple brushes again. At the begining was no a big problem ?cause I had a little detail brushes but now I have a lot and I always have to remake em detail before saving. And when i load or open the .map again they are simple brushes again. Don?t know what to do.

Is a problem of my Radiant? Does anyone know something? I also have troubles when I want to load an .map archive that I get from the web like wacko?s trashbin or one tutorial map from t trudle.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

I dont know how advanced you are in mapping, but have you tried filtering-detail yet? If not try clicking view_then filter_then details. This should hide all your detail brushes. And if they are still visible than I have no idea why they would return to structural. Maybe for some reason they aren't showing up as detail, but actually still are.

Just a guess

Well you?re truth in one thing, I?m not very advanced in mapping hehehe, is it very noticiable?.

I tried that. I filtered it but my radient is still showing em after filtering detail.

Well I want to thank you anyway and if someone has any more idea i will be very grateful.

Detail brushes should turn green if they are actually detail, select all the brushes to be converted to detail then right click in the 2d view and go make detail. This should fix it.

This other way of making a brush detail gives me the same problem. In the moment the brush turns green and the filter options work properly but when I close the map (saving it before,hehhee) and I open it again all the detail brushes are structural again.

Is it possible that my mohradiant is broken or something?
Well don?t know, I?m loosing my head with this heehe

Go to your miscellaneous menu, select 'colors' ==> Detail Brush, and make sure that it isn't set to red. Then try making it a different color other than the default green and see if that works.

[Pollo_Expresss]

This is neither the problem. I changed the color and the result is the same.

Thank you Axion at least I learned something new about that color changing stuff hehe.

just to make sure it's nothing else:

start a new map, make only one brush, select it, press Ctrl+Shift+d (i.e. turn it into detail), save the map and open it again.

what happens then?

Reinstall radiant if the above tactics didn't work and make sure it is a fresh install i.e. remove the mohtools folder entirely and any registry entry for radiant. Radiant is more buggy than backwoods Alabama.

Go to preferences and uncheck use Quake3 .map format and redo your detail brushes they should be ok then .

[Pollo_Expresss]

Well I first tried to do one only brush detail and save it as you said Wacko and the result was the same again.

Then I test unchecking the use quake3 .map format or something as bdbodger said and it works, now I can save my only brush as a detail brush and reload it again then it still is a detail brush. But........ don?t we want our .map files to be a Quake3 format maps?

Well I?m only a noob but all the tuts I readed about that said to check this thing. Can I do my mohaa map that way? have I to do something moro after finishing my map to compile it or is not a matter that it isn?t a quake3 .map format map?

Thanks a lot

And well I know Wacko forgive me but sorry all of you about my Spanish guy english.

[wacko]

But........ don?t we want our .map files to be a Quake3 format maps?

no, q3 map format turned off is perfect! Sorry for not having told u immediately, i just didn't think of it. When I read BdBodger's post, I had to say "ooops, yep, that's it..."

And well I know Wacko forgive me but sorry all of you about my Spanish guy english.

hehehe, that's fine, no problem, this way i don't feel so alone among all those english natives
hope, nobody feels offended?!

Tally HO bdboger, well done. Thats what these forums are for. And the english part is just fine. Everyone acts like english should be the foremost language, I like "hearing the accent come out".
