Hi all, it's been 4 years since I use cod4radiant, there is an option to create / edited the "terrain patch" directly into the editor.

 

Here is an example using the powerful editor field.:

 

-here is cod4 radiant create a simple terrain patch:

-terrain density 14x15:1380131940-2.png

 

-this makes vertex like a gtkgensurf style but is a patch:

1380131946-3.png

 

-advanced patch editing dialogs; blend/paint texture:

1380131931-4.png

 

-advanced patch editing dialogs height/smooth (make a mountain)

1380131937-5.png

 

lock/unlock vertex for paint or height/smooth

this is just a suggestion that may help in the creation of "terrain"

I know that works for this is huge, but as said it is a suggestion.

Regarding CodRadiant -

  • Can CodRadiant use TDM resources, can we dispence with CoD (not use CoD)
  • Can the exported patch be used by DR..?
  • Can CoD map files be imported by DR..?

Regarding DartkRadiant -

  • Very impresive building!
  • Did all the textures come from unity? and if some what licence are they covered by..?

-The textures is from me,i take in cgtexture and converting, i have just take the caulk and draw decals texture from cod4.

-impossible exporte map and patch in dr radiant because the engine use id tech 3 and have lightmaping grey (reflection, light, specular texture, normal map etc).

 

all call of duty games, mw2, mw3, black ops, black ops2 and more news use the quake 3 engine (idtech 3) but have make a very good modification ^^

What you are asking for is "Vertex painting". Unfortunately, this would require either modifying the existing map format or introducing a new (alternate) map format.

This has been discussed here quite a bit. The consensus is that we do not have any coders who are able or willing to take on this project.

 

The only way to see this to fruition would be to have an outside contributor offer a patch and working tech demo.

Obsttorte created a script that can output special "blended patches" as models as I recall, is this what you are referring to?

 

Id Tech 4 does support vertex blending but only for models, "brushes" do not support this feature as they lack the vertex color attribute.

 

Another option that Arcturus has been exploring is using Blender's "Export to Map" script which is Q3 format but very minimal

which means it can be imported into Dark Radiant. For that approach to work, any texture blends would need to be baked to a new

texture then UV unwrapped as I recall... Yeah, a decal might work better since you'd probably need to cut the texture at the blend

regions to avoid ridiculous sizes anyway (depending on how much terrain you are working with, of course).

Except the blend stuff all that was shown in the first vid can be done in DR as well. And regarding the blending, either use my script as mentioned by Mr. Bohr, or use a modelling programm that is capable exporting to lwo or ase.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
