Very cool and props to place the windows correctly into the "fächer" between the beams! :wub: (The only change I'd make is to make the vertical beams *slighly* thinner than the horizontal ones, but that is nitpicking :)

Possible with "set spawnargname ON attachementpointname" "value":

Johannes, you are totally nuts!!!

 

I'll go ape when i see all those pictures! smile.gif

 

Amazing, really amazin... I only hope that the massive usage of brushes/patches will not hold the mission too small (as there is - as far as i know - a limit in entity/worldspawn-count) or kill the playability due to the hunger for hardware...

 

Anyway, go on please! smile.gif

I don't think the problem is with the ornament texture but with the texture that's on top of the beam carrying the ornament texture. You probably used rough_wood_brown_ns for it or another rough_wood that ends with ns. Ns stands for no shadows, try a regular one.

 

And the pics look great.

I didn't make that tex so I'm not sure. It obviously has NoShadows in the mtr file. So we need to fix that.

 

However, it's possible that there is a Shadow casting AND noshadows version (I made a lot of duplicates that I ended with _ns for no shadow[metals and woods mainly]. They were just to be used with models that have a low poly shadow mesh).

 

So first check to see it there are two of that texture listed, if so try the other. If not let us know and someone can fix that for a future update. (I don't know of any models that use it, so it should probably just be a shadow casting material).

I didn't think it was as simple as noshadow, but now that I think about it, thats actly what it is. Jo the beam under the 'pegs' has a wood texture that has _ns on the end of it which as Flanders said is 'noshadows'

What are _ns textures for, anyway? Is there any reason to include them?

They are used in models that have shadowmeshes, primarily.

You can also make a worldspawn brush "pseudo shadow-mesh" (with any shadowed texture) inside a more ornate worldspawn object that has noshadows (ns) texture on it. :)

I guess I didn't explain it clearly the first time as several people asked WHY afterwards

say johannes, are all those pics that you posted in this thread taken from the same map?

 

i'm wondering how you handle the brush/patch/entity-limits - ever single m² seems to contain hundreds of them blink.gif

 

 

 

ah, by the way, your screenshots become more and more frustrating... every time i look at them, i feel forced to select my own current map and hit the delete-button... sad.gif

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
