So how do you fade one texture into another? Say grass into dirt, like on the edge of a dirt track. On my map, I have a driveway for carts etc, and it needs some cart tracks (patches) and grass humps (patches) and textures blending the two together. Is there a way to do this that is also clipped? Thx Neon

I assume thus must have been discussed before, what was the outcome? Is it as simple as saving in a better or other file format, that wont have any adverse effects? The DDS folder uncompressed sits at 1GB and the Textures folder is at 1.9GB and the models folder Im guessing at around 500mb. -
Personally I think this is the worst idea ever. The Reason forums has LOADS of info and knowledge, built up through years and years. I'm really sad to see it go away, and I can't understand why they've made this decision. https://www.propellerheads.se/forum/showthread.php?p=1579099#poststop -
This tutorial is for an "advanced technique" but is easy (and useful) enough for any mapper to try. One of the frustrations that mappers run into with decals is that you can only create one decal per surface. This means that if you have a wall with a door in it, you can't make a single decal for the whole wall, but rather need to settle for three separate, smaller decals (one per surface). In working on my most recent map, I figured out a method to get around this so that you can get a single decal texture across multiple surfaces. This means you can, for instance, create a wall with a hole in it and apply a single decal texture to it seamlessly: Here's how to set it up. First, create your wall and punch a hole in it. Next, select all three/four surfaces surrounding the hole and make decal patches for them. Next comes the important part. Create a brush the exact same size as the surface you want to apply the decal texture to (i.e. the size of the wall before you popped a hole into it) and place it exactly in front of the wall. Next select the surface of the brush and apply the decal texture to it (yes, you can apply decal textures to brushes). Then fit the decal 1x1 onto the brush. What you'll end up with is a big transparent brush with your decal painted across it. Then, just copy/paste from this large brush onto each one of the decal patches you made earlier. What will happen is that a piece of the texture from the brush will be applied to each decal patch such that the pieces mirror the whole texture seamlessly and you end up with a single texture fitting snugly around your door. Just delete the brush when you finish copy/pasting and you're all done. And there you have it. You can also use this strategy of copying a texture from a single brush onto multiple patches for other creative purposes too, such as smoothly wrapping a single decal across two brushes and a bevel: Hope this is helpful for you mapping endeavors! -
Hi, i supose that the collision texture work like a invisible wall. My question is if this especial texture have some property to do damage whe on contact with it. Thanks JG

I've been considering reinstalling TDS for a wile now... I've still got my original CDs. Have these guys fixed the bug where you get stuck floating? Last time I played TDS, that happened and I was unable to get out of it, so I ragequit.

You can surpass that bug by drawing your bow, performing a shot, and draw your blackjack when the bow is tensioned, to abort the bow shot. I'm hoping it's fixed in the Gold patch too though. Alongside the thing where you move sideways, when peeking left or right.

@Biker Hmm.
Â
Build TDM mission in DR.
Â
Export as portions as ASE
Â
Edit in Blender and export in TDS compatible format
Â
Import into T3ED
Â
Edit
Â
Release TDS mission...

(or just stick with TDM)

I raised a tracker to fix texture darkmod/sfx/black_matt but want to check with mappers first because it's been used in loads of maps. The description of black_matt is: //matt black - there are already blacks but cannot get _black nor bc_black to reference as diffusemap Whoever set up black_matt didn't quite know how to achieve the right effect. It's not really matt black. The tga image is rgb 1,1,1 instead of 0,0,0 so it reflects some diffuse light (I assume they tried a 0,0,0 image and found it didn't work), plus It's light-interacting so it has default specularity. It can look distinctly grey if you put a light right next to it and look at it from an oblique angle. Really it should have been set up to be opaque but not be light-interacting at all. A 0,0,0 filter blend instead of a diffuse map, combined with the forceOpaque keyword, would probably be right. I used this texture in a map that I was working on before getting into TDM coding, for the bottom of wells, and to block holes in walls where rods poke through etc, where I wanted to make shallow holes appear to be deeper than the player could see while sealing the visleaf. I'm not sure how others have used it though. I did an existing map check and it's been used lots. Should we change it to be properly black?

Hey all, This is a simple technique to ensure quick texture alignment across brushes, but I haven't seen it recorded anywhere so I thought I'd write it down. When you're texturing the walls of a room, you'll normally apply a texture to one brush, then copy/paste it onto the adjacent brushes until everything is textured: The problem with this copy/paste method is that, like you see above, the textures will almost never align properly, and then you'd have to shift/move the textures on the second brush in order to get them to line up. The reason for this is that DarkRadiant will only smoothly move textures between surfaces if the brushes are set up in a certain way. The surfaces can't be overlapping at all. They need to touching only at a single point: If you move the brushes so that they are set up as shown on the right (i.e. the copy/paste surfaces are only touching each other at one point in space), then copy/pasting will result in perfect texture alignment. And there you have it; as long as you set up all your surfaces so that they are touching at one point, you'll have seamless texture alignment when you copy/paste. For more complicated sections of brushes, the same setup will work, just cut up your brushes so that the copy/pasted surfaces are only touching at one point. It's a simple principle to remember, but it works wonders and will make aligning your textures a breeze.

While doing some repairs on WS2 last night, I spent a couple hours repairing the horizontal/vertical scaling on a couple custom textures. Models, func_statics, and patches were untouched, but the world brushes had suffered a mysterious 4x or 8x change in their scaling values, causing the textures to become huge. This wasn't just a few brushes, but every brush face that used that texture. I recently switched two aspects of my work: - I changed from DR 1.8.1 to DR 2.0.2 - I changed the base darkmod folder from 2.03 to SVN I can't tie this problem directly to either change, because, until last night, I hadn't done any work near the corrupted textures since switching. I can't think of anything else that might have caused this. (DR seems the likely culprit, since it writes the *.map file.) The two textures in question are the red brick on the Builder church and the metal ceiling in the City Watch station. The brick had suffered a multiplier of 8 in the horizontal and 4 in the vertical. The ceiling texture had suffered a 4x change in both scales. Has anyone else seen this problem?

This is cool and all but I wish Gecko would've worked with the Canon Texture folks at TTLG rather than doing his own project. He's completely changed the look of some of the textures. I guess it's author's prerogative but when you market yourself as the "official" HD mod it's kinda shady, especially since there was already HD-ification happening elsewhere...
-
Thank you Goldwell! @nbohr1more: Which do you mean? Those? They really look nice and I hope he can help these guys out now after 1.0 release! http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140187&page=58

Agree with nbohr1more. These textures imo are too far from the look & feel of the original game. I switched back from "HD" beta to original textures.
