[dr shenker]

i have a problem whit my loading screen i got the script from blue60007 and i don't know what's the mistake

here are the 2 scripts that i've used for my map

this is the one in the scripts folder:
mymapname
{
nomipmaps
nopicmip
cull none
force32bit
surfaceparm nolightmap
{
map $whiteimage
}
{
clampMap textures\mohmenu\dmloading\The-Real-DM.jpg
}
}

and this is the one in the ui folder

menu "dm/The-Real-DM" 640 481 NONE 0 //shader, needs changing

i've put the jpg in the texures/mohmenu/dmloading

help is very mutch appeciated

[dr shenker]

if i need any more script please tell me

btw: it's a DM

[hogleg]

Not sure I can be much help cause I struggled with my LS.
Have u read this:
/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1545


Think u need to get rid of this (map $whiteimage ) and (force32bit
)cause ur using a jpg.

[dr shenker]

thank you for the info but i still didn't worked

[G3mInI]

Remove this from your shader statement in the scripts folder make sure you remove those two curly brackets also...

{
map $whiteimage
}


You are using a jpg and not a tga with an alpha channel. Since there is no alpha channel when it maps the whiteimage it will cover your whole picture. Just get rid of it and you should see the picture just fine.

[dr shenker]

i always see that normal pic (a couple army guys)

i don't see a white thing

see this section ??? where it says needs changing.. this is where u put the name of your shader file. I dont know what your shader file is called but lets say the name of the file was mymap.shader.

Then that section would read like this:


name "Default"
rect 96 48 448 336
fgcolor 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
bgcolor 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.00
borderstyle "NONE"
shader mymap


also you need to change this to correctly point to your file:


menu "dm/The-Real-DM" 640 481 NONE 0 //shader, needs changing


the reason they put comments in there is to tell you that you need to change these names according to what you have.

i've now used a *.tga file

and the name of the map is The-Real-DM

Please help me i appreciate all the help i've had from you guys but it just doesn't seems to work

[hogleg]

Since ur using a tga now did u:
1/save it as 32bit tga
2/resize it 512x512
3/create a alpha layer

Maybe u can get something out of this:
/forum/viewtopic.php?p=62519&highlight=#62519

[tltrude]

Your map's script does not go in the "scripts" folder--that folder is for shader files. It should be in the "dm" folder where your bsp file is.

level.script = maps/dm/The-Real-DM.scr

Also, make sure your .urc file is in the "main/ui" folder and is named "loading_The-Real_DM.urc".

BTW, I don't normally use capital letters in the names of files--one file always ends up without them and the game can't find it (case sensitive).

[dr shenker]

ooh i didn't knew that

thanks tom

i did the first 2 things but how do i create an Alpha layer with "Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0"??

[jv_map]

I think it's called window->show channels, then click the button to make a new channel

[dr shenker]

nope, i can't fin d anything whit channels

[G3mInI]

Like I said earlier, you can use a .jpg just as easily. And if you're not familiar with alpha channels then I suggest you do use a jpg.

When using a jpg instead of a tga with alpha you MUST change your shader file to read like this:

Code: Select all

The-Real-DM 
{ 
nomipmaps 
nopicmip 
cull none 
force32bit 
surfaceparm nolightmap 
{ 
clampMap textures/mohmenu/dmloading/testload.tga 
blendfunc gl_one_minus_src_alpha gl_src_alpha 
} 
} 

By removing the map whiteimage statement u can use jpg's.
