Q3A: Shader looks crappy with 'r_vertexlight 1' [solved]

[dichtfux]

Hi,

I'm using evillairs e8 texture pack for one of my maps and I recently noticed that the jumppad looks crappy with 'r_vertexlight 1'. Looks as if only one layer of the texture was drawn. I was fine with that if it was the other one :-(

Can I do anything about this? Would be very cool if the jumppad was drawn without the blue swirl thingie, but atm only the blue swirl is drawn.

Images follow to illustrate the problem.

Shot 1) JP with r_vertexlight 0 (ok) :


Shot 2) JP with r_vertexlight 1 (crappy) :


Shot 3) JP with r_vertexlight 1, later in the animation (crappy) :


Thanks in advance,

spirit

It's a limitation with vertex mode, only one stage of the shader can be displayed.

You can do a workaround using the "vertexremapshader" worldspawn key (see the terrain manual - under "Terrain Related Worldspawn Features") to remap the multi-staged shader with an alternative single stage shader for use in vertex mode only.

Thanks obsidian, I'll definetly do this.

EDIT:
Done, works fine. Problem solved.

For anyone else having the same idea/problem :

How to do this is explained here => Radiant Manual <=

... after inhaling what? ;-)

Looks more like one of these halloween pumpkins to me.

Well, considering how long he's been dead, it does look like Jim Morrison...

BTW, that texture in your screenshot looks more like a jump ramp than a bounce pad. I'm not sure if that's intended or not.

I know, it looks like something inbetween.

Judging from the name of the texture (e8_jumppad02), evillair seems to consider it a jumppad. I consider it cool. :icon31:

btw : file updated.
- made bridge look less crappy
- made jumppad shader look less crappy with r_vertexlight 1
- moved items around (out of corners) to improve gameflow
- added target_location markers for TDM
- added info_player_intermission-thingie
- fixed mis-alligned textures on many patches / bezier curves
- stuff i forget atm 'cause it's much too late @ GMT+1

EDIT: the time is also responsible for me posting the info above in this thread instead of theone were it belongs to. :icon27:

Posted it there as well. Good night.

Whoa!

[dichtfux]

Dammit, you're right! He's talkin' to us from the the.. erm... other side via evillairs jumppad textures?!

Maybe he wants me to retexture my latest map in a weird mushroom-style or something... :icon28:
