A long time ago, I did a "size test" just to see if I could compile something that span the entire grid. I'm pretty sure I could and that it took about 10min to run from one corner to the opposite one... You can also run a bsp compile on the mymap.bsp with just the "-scale #" ke...

(Mostly used for indoor cave stuff) and every where there's sculpted terrain, rocks, cliffs and the likes. They got a lot out of this feature and its also turned work flow on its head. Being able to wave me mouse over my monitor while muttering “make cliffs here” beats modeling them in max any day ...

see tutorial here : http://detoeni.planetwolfenstein.gamespy.com/bump.htm Works best in RTCW/ET as they use much bigger lightmaps Q3V. If you want to use it on terrain in Q3V, this can be exported to an external lightmap which can be up to 1024x1024 and does give quite good results with a little hac...

See thread here Ah ha, been looking for that post, SPD posted this over at the SD forums. http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/show ... hp?t=16693 This post from ydnar is the one I was looking for: You have to bake the texture coordinates into a UV map. The ASE loader doesn't honor any texture scale ...

Aye, I know a little, but I am also just a little rusty.

grab this: http://hro.planetquake.gamespy.com/quake_3/?page_id=8 It will allow you to compile outside radiant, and has options for writing a log. compile with the following for et + tick log stage BSP = -meta -mv 1024 -mi 6144 -v VIS = -saveprt -v LIGHT = -fast -samples 2 -v -external -lightmapsize ...

The Dreamcast Mappack shader does not use correct naming conventions for the shaders within it. If you'v got a custom map in baseq3 that does the same, and has a shader with the same name as one in the dreamcast mappack, then this is where you are getting the conflict.

mmm nice little map, works in clean Q3TA install as well (patched 1.32), it will be a none standard pk3/shader your looking for.

First rule of mapping for RTCW is do not use wolfradiant, it will be painfull.
Use GtkRadiant, you'll find a link to it in the sticky's here.

md3fix is not quite what your after but this:

will let you edit the shader paths within the model.
misc_models get "baked" into the bsp by q3map2 by default.

One way that I got to work quite well was to make two ase terrain models, one high poly and one low. The low poly gets used in game while the high is used to make a normal map* which is used by the shader for the low poly with an over sized (for q3) lightmap being exported by q3map2, 512x512 gives a...

Wolf rad's is a little old and a little bit naff.

Get GtkRadiant 1.4 rtcwet, unless you want to do SP mapping then you might want to start with 1.2/3 (I cant rember off hand when they stopped inclueding the sp stuff)

This might be of intrest:

After you select the brushwork, you need to click back on the main window befor ctrl+shift+a. You should get a message that says "caulking..." in the console, then how many faces were caulked.

It automaticly caulks unseen faces on selected brushies. If its like doom3 then you dont need to worry too much about it as unseen faces are removed anyway at run time.

there's an older copy here:

ydnar's aware of the problem, just hope it gets fixed.

If your using ET then youll be glad to know they broke cg_draw2d with the last patch. Add this to your "game_manager" script to correct: remapshader gfx/2d/crosshaira textures/my_map/crosshaira remapshaderflush point "textures/my_map/crosshaira" at a full alpha texture and shader...
