Animated textures on brushes?

[Soul Extractor]

Ok I've looked around and I can't find a good tutorial for making a animated clip for a texture.

I have studied the animations on maps that have clips in them but they are too different from one another that I'm confused.

Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial or can anyone explain what makes a clip move in the game.

say I have two files named :

Movie1.jpg and Movie2.jgp

I want it to switch back and forth, what script do I use and where would I put my .jpg files?

Can they be .jpg's or should they be .tga's

(what does the number in this next line mean?)
animap .15 textures/blah/blah.jpg

I know one a script, but then again the script was made for wall hacks so I wont post it. (I dont use cheats, just study them).

Sorry I think you may have misunderstood my question. I dont want cheats I want to know how to make animated textures as in City Nights Final (the Matrix clip)

i learn so much from looking at cheats and stuff.
anywho i dont know a tut but i bet someone probably would.

here's the shader to the movie in shopp

Code: Select all

textures/movie/king01
{
	qer_editorimage textures/movie/king01.tga
	surfaceparm nomarks
	surfaceparm wood
	q3map_lightimage textures/shopp/movie/king01.tga
	q3map_surfacelight 100
	cull none
	{
		animmap 5 textures/movie/king01.tga textures/movie/king02.tga textures/movie/king03.tga textures/movie/king04.tga textures/movie/king03.tga textures/movie/king02.tga
		blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
	}
} 

it is using 4 jpgs (yes, they are called tga in the shader, but nevertheless) and this seems to be what u need. q3map_lightimage and q3map_surfacelight are for making it shine, u probably won'T need these two lines.
u might want to read the QuakeIII shader manualdescribing this and other topics regarding shaders.

I have studied the Shopp .shader (wow your right I didn't notice the .tga .jpg difference in the shader and the textures...weird) I can't get mine to work right. Maybe someone could describe what should be done within the shader and within the textures by using the examples I asked for above in the first post. I will look at the Qmanual and see if I get any pointers for other things.

The shader seems so easy to follow you know but for some reason when I try to replicate the process I can't get it to work.

Please dont forget my other question (anyone) what does that number mean? or/and what is it for?

[wacko]

reading the line with the number in your first post, i can see a typo animap must animmap! maybe that's why your shader doesn't work. could u post ur shader here?

the number is the number of pics shown per second: .15 therefore is 0.15 pictures/second = 6,67 seconds/picture

Thanks Wacko will try that ...could be a typo. Only thing is I copied the shader from another working map e.i Shopp. and only made the necessary changes.



I haven't tried using .tga format so I will try that aswell instead of .jpg's

===========================================
looking at the Shopps shader why do these differ?

textures/movie/king01
{
qer_editorimage textures/movie/king01.tga
surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm wood
q3map_lightimage textures/shopp/movie/king01.tga
q3map_surfacelight 100
cull none
{
animmap 5 textures/movie/king01.tga textures/movie/king02.tga textures/movie/king03.tga textures/movie/king04.tga textures/movie/king03.tga textures/movie/king02.tga
blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
}
}

==========================================
I guess this would be mine

Code: Select all

textures/movie/Coldbeer 
{ 
   qer_editorimage textures/movie/Coldbeer.jpg 
   surfaceparm nomarks 
   surfaceparm wood 
   q3map_lightimage textures/movie/Coldbeer.jpg
   q3map_surfacelight 100 
   cull none 
   { 
      animmap 5 textures/movie/Coldbeer.jpg textures/movie/Coldbeer1.jpg
      blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA 
   } 
}

looking at the Shopps shader why do these differ?

because I did a typo

then: leave your coldbeer pictures jpegs! But call them coldbeer(1).tga in the shader. This way it ought to work:

Code: Select all

textures/movie/Coldbeer 
{ 
   qer_editorimage textures/movie/Coldbeer.tga 
   surfaceparm nomarks 
   surfaceparm wood 
   q3map_lightimage textures/movie/Coldbeer.tga 
   q3map_surfacelight 100 
   cull none 
   { 
      animmap 5 textures/movie/Coldbeer.tga textures/movie/Coldbeer1.jpg 
      blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA 
   } 
}

they even do shine

because I did a typo

LOL NP.

Well I guess it makes sense now that I think about the Shopp shader and the textures. Just weird that it would pick up the .jpg files with .tga in the shader as an extension. I will try that tonight and let you know if it works. thx Wacko been much help.

[Soul Extractor]

Thx wacko ...worked like a charm this is the shader that worked for me...

Code: Select all

textures/windows/Coldbeer
{
	qer_editorimage textures/windows/Coldbeer.tga
	surfaceparm nomarks
	surfaceparm glass
	q3map_lightimage textures/windows/Coldbeer.tga
	q3map_surfacelight 100
	cull none
	{
		animmap 1 textures/windows/Coldbeer.tga textures/windows/Coldbeer1.tga textures/windows/Coldbeer2.tga
		blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
	}
} 

} 

Notice: that the shader indicates .tga ...my pictures are actually .jpg's (dont ask ...it worked)

My files are in my pak file as follows:


Textures
>>>Windows
>>>>>Coldbeer.jgp
>>>>>Coldbeer1.jpg
>>>>>Coldbeer2.jpg

Thx again Wacko
