new to mapping = lots of problems

[yodaman26]

i do not have any custom pk3's in my main folder, i have just done a clean install of moh. and secondly...where do i search for "matchtoken"? (i guess not in the windows search tool, lol)

[hogleg]

/forum/search.php


Try doing a search in windows as well for *.pk3

[yodaman26]

i guess i'm still confused as to where to look for "matchtoken"... and i DO NOT have any custom pk3's in my main-dir

well loookie here what i found
viewtopic.php?t=534&highlight=matchtoken

OK, if you don't have custom pk3's installed it might be one of the textures you used in the map.
The error says something about the "sunflare.shader". I looked at that shader and it contains the following textures. Did you by any chance use one of them in the map?:
textures/sprites/sunflare_main
textures/sprites/corona
textures/sprites/sunflare_middle
textures/sprites/sunflare_furthest
textures/jack/whitefade

These textures (the same goes for other effects and models textures) can't be used like normal textures. If for instance you'd like to make a corona effect you'll have to insert the special corona entity from the static entity list. To get the sunflare effect you would have to add the line "sunflarename sun" in the maps' worldspawn. I really can't think of anything else that could cause the error.

ok, the only pk3 files i have in my main-dir are pak0.pk3 up to pak6.pk3 and entdefs.pk3., and i don't think i used any of those shader things...i set sunshader to "none" in the worldspawn panel

Have you tried using some different textures.
I think ur using a texture that should not be used.

Some of the sky textures don't work.
For example the stuff in "Bind" I used once and it screwed everything up.

[yodaman26]

ok, i did try some different textures and it worked fine (which i'v tried before with no success ), so now i know that all of my settings are right, i bet that when i try some different textures it won't work again

[yodaman26]

ok, so i'v proved myself wrong (which is a good thing), ty all for your help

I'v got a new question, how come there's no sound in the lvl? like walking sounds or like the sound of a gun when i try to fire it?

[Green Beret]

in your .scr try executing the DMprecache at the top,after waittill prespawn i believe

exec global/DMprecache.scr

[hogleg]

I don't think he's got a script yet.
Put ur bsp file in maps/dm

Now start moh and go to MP and start a free for all game, select ur map and go, you'll have sound that way for temp testing.

[yodaman26]

ok, ty, and i also got a script working so sound works in single player too...i have a new question, how do i import textures?

No offense ment, but this turns to be ur private Q&A thread which will make things rather confusing for all others.
It would be more useful for other forum visitors, if u started a new topic with a expressive name ("I need help" is rather useless) for each new problem u encounter. Also, did u use the forum's search function? There are hundereds of threads about textures, the way they are made, imported, and about the shaders they would need, and although many may not answer ur question directly, they all will help u in finding out lots of useful stuff

[yodaman26]

no offense meant, but this is my personal Q and A thread, i'v tried searching and searching and searching...with no success, i don't give a **** about other people and quite frankly i'm done searching and i want answers
