Hi all... I was wondering... when I make a secret door to hide maybe an item or something... what do I do to make the game display a "you have discovered a secret"
message? I know I would probably have to trigger it... or is it in the secret door function as an option? thanks. never mind...found it just wasn't sure how to delete my previous post about the matter thanks.
I think you missed my post above with the YouTube link that explains plats and doors. Here's the link again:
https://youtu.be/TQ8MN8V0JuE?t=233 also here is a long video that explains how secret doors work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw1c7O5WkbI&t=334s Not really sure if this belongs here or in the General thread.
Since creators of custom maps for Black Ops 3, both multiplayer and zombies mode, do exist, where do these people "hang out"? I went through a few large discords I could find, but they had no mapping/modding channels. Wasn't successful at finding some forum-based community either. What gives? 3 seconds later and google autocomplete delivers
https://discordapp.com/invite/PncbcvT Perhaps it's more for general abuse, but I'm not sure.
Was there ever an all-colab jam? I.e. every map was worked on by 2+ people (or exactly 2 people, but that doesn't mean one person couldn't colaborate on multiple maps or with multiple people). TIA! So I have a pretty simple map with a circular wall around it and just one light, the sun. Its mangle set to 0 -90 0 (straight down according to ericw's documentation). Yet one side of the wall is completely dark, while the other is bright. As if the sun was at an angle. Why could this be? How do I make the sun light all sides of the map evenly?
try the sunlight_penumbra worldspawn settings, a value of 8-12 gives good results.
Else, a small sunlight2 value might help. Your circular structure needs to be centered at 0 0 0 of the world to work correctly if i remember right. Thanks for the suggestion. I actually figured out what the issue was. I had bounce lighting enabled and had only filled in architecture on one side of the map so far, so the undeveloped side had nothing for the light to bounce off of.

light/vis seem to be complaining they can't find the bsp. can you confirm that a bsp file exists in that folder? also, light seems to truncate the bsp name when printing its error, while vis prints the whole name. I made a small bat file
qbsp.exe textic.map light.exe textic.bsp vis.exe textic.bsp It worked,for some reason. Yes,there were both BSP and map in the directory. The map and bsp is named test1 now.Not textic. I still don't get that ericw-tools bsp name appearing in the light log. First of all hello.
Second, I hope my English are good enough to achieve communication... In the topic now. When I use dirt in a map I get nice results but when the floor height is changed like in stairs, dirt leaves black lines between stairs and this turns the models black when are above it. https://imgur.com/L8gPmVU The problem gets bigger as the models move over stairs and flash. One "solution" I thought was to use func group for all floors and set to them dirt -1. This is the result: https://imgur.com/sAHMLG6 Do you fellow mappers find the "solution" acceptable? Is there any technique to get better results? Or I have to discard dirt in closed rooms? Thanks. it's far better to have good looking lighting on your world geo than to compromise your art to "solve" issues with quake's ancient rules for mdl lighting.
I'd keep dirt on the stairs personally. Thanks Kinn, I lean towards this too.
Now I got in the task to modify quakespasm to get "better" results. I found a solution but I get 32 more samples for each moving model. Models are getting darker on stairs but do not flash. I'm a new Quake mapper and hoping to submit a map for Yoder's Sewer Mapjam. I'm already getting hung up because every time I'm compiling a map and get to the vis process I get a bunch of "WARNING: Leaf portals saw into leaf" warnings. The compiler doesn't report any leaks and no pts files are made, so I am at a loss with how to fix/approach this. Trying to read through the Trenchbroom manual and searching on Google hasn't helped me figure out how to solve this.
When I pull other maps, be they original id maps or maps from Quaddicted, I notice they don't have the same warnings. For troubleshooting, I have tried putting a few different maps I started through the compiler and closing the maps down until there are no warnings, but even maps that are barely more than a cube room give me the warning. I am sure I keep doing something dumb that keeps causing this issue since I'm new to Trenchbroom and Quake modding. If anyone is able to point me toward some documentation to explain what I'm doing wrong or is able to help me troubleshoot through the comments, it would be super appreciated!! I assume this is happening with:
https://github.com/ericwa/ericw-tools/releases/tag/v0.18.2-rc1 It's a bug I inadvertently added in that version while fixing something else (a cause of HOM's with very thin leafs). As far as I can see the warnings are safe to ignore and the vis quality is still fine. On my list of things to investigate / fix properly, but if you want you can use an older version like https://github.com/ericwa/ericw-tools/releases/tag/v0.18.1 or another compiler etc. |
