Quick Question.

#20112 posted by Nolcoz on 2019/04/13 23:29:52

I have seen in some maps glass that is transparent and I couldnt find any help on how to do this.
Can anyone tell me how to do something like this?

"alpha" key on brush entities, from 0 (invisible) to 1 (opaque).

Thanks!

Water Fullbright/minlight

#20115 posted by A_COC0NUT on 2019/04/14 22:08:48

Is there any way to make it so water is not a set brightness? I'm using waterfall textures from ikwhite that fall into a vanilla water texture. I need either a way to set the water texture to not be fullbright/minlight or a better texture set for a waterfall into a body of standing water. Thanks for any help.

I have not tried this but you try a func illusionary brush above the liquid with a black texture and set alpha between 0 and 1 (i.e. 0.5) to darken the brush underneath.

Good luck!

Thanks. I'll give that a try.

Different Music Tracks In One Map?

#20122 posted by GunSgtHighway on 2019/04/23 10:48:46

Hi!
I'm still trying to get more atmosphere to different sections in my map.
Does anybody know if there's a mod or something to play different music tracks in a map, activated by a trigger?

Has "trigger_cdtrack"

I'm sure you could look at the QC and use that in your own progs.dat if you did not want to use the whole Mod.

Noob Question About Removing Limits

#20126 posted by Strydom on 2019/04/24 09:24:54

Hi. I am new to mapping, and working on my first quake map, for AD mod. I am using the latest Quakespasm and Trenchbroom 2.
I am about about halfway done with the map, and seem to have hit the limits. When I compile, no lights and everything is dark.
From scouring the net, I understand I need to use BSP2 and sv_protocol 999 ?
How do I do this ? Where do I change these things ?

You 100% do not.

#20128 posted by bal on 2019/04/24 11:57:40

No lights and pitch black map does not sound like something related to hitting any BSP limits, you probably broke something else.
To test bsp2, just put -bsp2 in your qbsp.exe params.

Compile With Light

#20129 posted by Pro Tip on 2019/04/24 14:44:53

Try running LIGHT.exe when you compile. Tends to brighten things up sometimes.

Come over to Quake Mapping Discord for real time help. https://discordapp.com/invite/j5xh8QT

Sounds like you are running light but may not have enough (any?) in your map. If you didn't run LIGHT the map would be full brightness.
