Decals

[killhour]

How do you use decals in DR? There's nothing in the wiki about it, and I can't figure it out from other maps.

It seems that when you select a face and go to brush>create decal patches,

 

it creates a copy of that face as a patch. Put any decal texture on it, lets say ivy vines, and now your wall will be covered with ivy vines.

 

If that makes sense.

 

And feel free to correct me if you know about decals.

Cool, that sounds like it should work pretty well. I keep meaning to look into them them but I've been too lazy.

I tried that, but I can't get it to work. Mind making a video of it and uploading it somewhere?

You can use the create-decals-for-selected-face button (use ctrl+shift to select a face) or use the regular way to create a patch (create brush, patch->simple patch mesh).

place the patch on the wall or with a small offset.

 

A lot good decals are in textures/decals just under textures/darkmod.
