Try:

bind F11 reloadimages

 

then just press F11 everytime.

 

Haha, it works for me, just having the console down and pressing up and enter

[Shadowhide]

how make AI play certain animation without triggering ?

Edited April 3, 2011 by Shadowhide

[Fidcal]

Give it the anim spawnarg and the anim you want I believe. By default this is idle.

[Shadowhide]

I tried this

it looks like

anim

cower1

 

but its not working

[Fidcal]

OK, then try this:

 

• 
   
  
• Create a path_anim
  
• Put the anim on that
  
• Also rotate the path_anim so the AI faces the way you want. That gives it an angle spawnarg. It's important or the anim won't work according to the wiki.
  
• Target the path_anim from the AI. You might also need a path_wait targetted from the path_anim I don't know.

Some of my textures are leaking, and I am wondering why. Any ideas based on the material file entries below?

Or does it come from something else?

[Fidcal]

Should be OK. Check the brush is not too thin (I think the minimum is about 1 unit.) Check also the textures on other surfaces of the brush(es) because even if they are on the side it makes the whole brush leak, eg, nodraw, decal, clip, all will causes leaks. Try converting to stone to test if that fixes the leak. If it still leaks then you know it's not the texture.

[Melan]

It has to be the texture since if I retexture the brush, the problem ceases.

[nbohr1more]

All the textures are Power of Two, correct?

 

I don't see a syntax problem with the definition. I would make sure to re-check the texture names (and also look for conflicting names in TDM?)

[Melan]

That can't be a problem either. The textures have correct resolution and names.

[Springheel]

That's an odd problem. Are there any transparent areas in the textures?

[nbohr1more]

The materials are in your root darkmod directory when you dmap or "elsewhere'?

 

I would use an override pk4 like zzz_melan_new.pk4 to make sure that your versions win.

[Melan]

I would use an override pk4 like zzz_melan_new.pk4 to make sure that your versions win.

That's where they are.

 

And no, the textures with the problems do not have transparent areas, unless Gimp saved the TGAs/DDSs with transparency.

 

I'm starting to wonder if the text editor may have had something to do with it. This is my first time writing a .mtr on Windows 7, and whereas I used Wordpad before, I switched to Notepad now for aesthetic reasons... Still, the entries above look normal.

[nbohr1more]

Try Notepad++

[Fidcal]

Have you temporary source files with the same prefix but different suffix in the image directory? If doom tries those first it probably gives up. I had that and it showed 'failed to load image' etc in the console even though the tgas were there. In my case there was no leak because they were used internally but perhaps against the void it might.

[Springheel]

Try narrowing down where the problem lies. Cut out all the extraneous stuff and just use:

 

textures/darkmod/metal/detailed/beam_rusty_victorian

{

metal

 

qer_editorimage textures/darkmod/metal/detailed/beam_rusty_victorian_ed

diffusemap textures/darkmod/metal/detailed/beam_rusty_victorian

bumpmap textures/darkmod/metal/detailed/beam_rusty_victorian_local

specularmap textures/darkmod/metal/detailed/beam_rusty_victorian_s

}

 

Everything else is just for frobbing or ambient light, so the above should still work (thought it might look black under certain light). If it still leaks, then it has to be something specific to the texture files.

[Shadowhide]

error while I try run my map

it signs :

maps/mymapscript.script - line 8 to many parametrs

here is the scripts itself :

 

void CemetaryScript()

{

$player1.frob_item($CemetaryButton);

}

[Melan]

Thanks for your help, everyone, but I probably bothered you over my own mistake. It looks like the errors were actually in the testmap itself; leftover old textures still on the walls, which the game interpreted as "no shader". It drove me crazy too.

 

The good news is, it doesn't look like the new textures have any technical problems (although some will need to have their normalmaps remade when I submit them to Serpentine). So far.

[Melan]

A question: this article on the wiki mentions prefabbed sign text decals, saying they are under prefabs/readables/sign_text_decals/. However, the readables folder doesn't have anything like that. Are they maybe elsewhere, or do they not exist yet?

[stumpy]

they're in the tdm_prefabs01.pk4 file.

[Melan]

Thank you, Stumpy! For some reason, they do not show up in the hierarchy.
