Custom Textures going wild

Hell_Soldier · Post by **Hell_Soldier** » Wed Aug 31, 2005 3:04 pm

something makes my custom textures look like this:

when i compiled the map with all the 3 stages of BSP, VIS and LIGHT, it came out like in the picture above.

but when i compiled it just with only the 1st stage (BSP) it came out fine.

i think its something with the VIS stage that causing this, during compiling i noticed this written in the VIS stage:

Code: Select all

vis_derived = 0

whats the problem?

please help

the problem is there's too many flags

lol just being a smartbutt... hope you fix your problems...

have you tryed scaling the texture by pressing s while the flag shape is selected then scale the texture so it fits the shape.

Just a wild guess

the texture in the editor fit the brush and its the same when i compile the map through the BSP stage only.

but when i compile it throught VIS and LIGHT stages too it comes out like in the picture.

its not just that texture! its every custom texture in my map that shows like that in the situations i mentioned above.

^.^ Would it be possible to use this site...

http://www.accustudio.com/exchange/textures.php?dir=

as a place to get textures??? If so, do I just leave credit to him???

Just a guess but are the textures you used seamless?

These do have breaker lines at the end, but they are easily removed

Seamless texture generator

i noticed the problem happend after i added barrels with patch meshes, after i recreated the barrels with normal brushes it came out fine.

Have you used the right image size? As far as I know that 'tiling problem' is caused by not using the right texture dimensions. The height and width dimensions should be divisible by 16 and the outcome should be an integer value.

A couple of valid texture dimensions are:
32x64 32x96 64x112 64x64 64x128 128x128 128x256 256x256 etc...

i said that everything is fine and i fixed the problem.

i believe the problem was barrels made from func_group (patch meshes)

Yeah I read it but I seriously doubt that's the cause of the distorded texture display, hence my post.
Just trying to help but hey you're right, if it's fixed for now it's fine

Wouldn't Control + F (fit the texture to the brush) have fixed the problem?
