Trying to use textures/common/ladder but....

[PranQster]

I only find /textures/common/tdm_nodrawsolid_climbable.

If I apply that to a brush surrounding a ladder, it is not climbable. I do not stick to it.

Any pointers, please?

Make sure: textures/common/ladder is applied to the entire brush. Other than that...

Nevermind.

 

Most things were working fine, but I had not edited the DR Preferences>Game settings.

It had the Engine Path set to the default '/usr/local/games/doom3/', but I have doom3 installed in '/home/myusername/apps/games/doom3/', so I changed that.

'Mod (fs_game)' had been set to 'darkmod', but 'Mod Base' was blank. I set that to 'darkmod' too.

 

I now have a massive amount of textures available which were not there before.

Yeah, my whole problem was that I did not have any such 'textures/common/ladder'... after changing the game engine path in the DR preferences, I now do

 

Another annoying problem I had before is now fixed because of this.

I had trouble previously with creating a player start point when nothing was selected. It had been requiring me to assign player start to a brush. That is now fixed and all is normal.

Oh, lol good I'm glad you got it working

Thanks. Chalk that one up to my DR newbiness. I figured since I was able to do most of the basics in the DR tutorial, and in fact had TDM textures available, and was able to dmap my map, that all was alright. But the lack of common textures clued me in to the fact that doom3 textures were missing.
