Tying FX to a trigger? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I will be the first to admit that I stink at scripting, but understand the basics. Here is what I am trying to do. I have an electric fence in my map and would like to figure out how to tie to spark FX (have yet to find the right effect but I know it's th... [more]	3	1058	May 25, 2008 05:04 pm by jreece2475
Strange minimap problem Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping That is a good idea. I wouldn't have thought leaving the original .ff files would screw it up, but will give that a try tonight.... [more]	4	917	May 12, 2008 04:01 pm by jreece2475
Strange minimap problem Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I read through everything I could find and didn't see an obvious solution to this problem. I followed the tutorial and some of the help threads for the minimap which btw works like a charm. To get the minimap working I have to run the map from my mods d...

Various red brushes. Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping That is kind of strange. One other thing you can try os to put a block of volume_lightgrid over the areas you are having problems and see if it helps. It looks like the light/shadows are just bouncing off certain textures in an odd way for some reason.... [more]	10	931	May 7, 2008 02:16 pm by jreece2475
Mini Maps - Why is it so hard... Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Don't do what a few others have and delete the mini-map nodes from your map after you take the screenshot. A friend of mine beat his head against the wall for 2 weeks over that one because he didn't think you needed them for anything more than taking the...

Lag and choppy camera movement in Radiant Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping This may just be a side effect of trying to use Radiant with Vista, however I thought I would see if anyone had any ideas. Let me start by saying that my system specs are more then enough to run Radiant smoothly. What is happening is now that my map i... [more]	4	1043	Apr 28, 2008 05:35 pm by jreece2475
Who wants to here about another minimap problem!! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping To put the whole folder into the .zip file, right click on the folder and you should have an option to "add to archive" or "create archive" can't remember which it is. Anyhow this will make the whole folder a .zip file.... [more]	23	1649	Apr 24, 2008 08:06 pm by jreece2475
water leakage Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Cover your tunnels with a brush using the clip_weap texture. That should keep the rain from coming through... [more]	9	1524	Apr 15, 2008 06:56 pm by jreece2475
Spawn points Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Yeah, for TDM just make sure your allies_spawn and your axis_spawn are pretty spread apart to start, but then just make clusters of tdm_spawns in various areas you want people to spawn in. Depending on how many people you expect your map to support, adju... [more]	6	794	Apr 2, 2008 05:33 pm by jreece2475
is here a way to make copys of cuts Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I may have been lucky when I did a few of mine, but if you want all the windows or groups of windows in the same positions on different faces, you may want to try and just select all the brushes you want to cut at the same time. In theory (how mine worke... [more]	4	878	Mar 18, 2008 02:48 pm by jreece2475
Annoying red bs Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping This may not have anything to do with it, but I had this issue as well when I accidentally set one of my light sources to primary_spot and it touched a surface the worldspawn lighting was already hitting. It does seem that something is keeping you from... [more]	27	975	Mar 7, 2008 05:35 pm by jreece2475

Help Needed with making a patch curved Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Seeing as how there doesn't seem to be the issue with curve patches in CoD4, is there any real benefit to using the "convert curve to terrain " feature? BTW thanks for the input. I think alot of us learn something new just about every day from those o... [more]	9	1084	Mar 5, 2008 11:20 pm by jreece2475
Help Needed with making a patch curved Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping There may be a slightly easier way to do this. Something I have just recently been using myself. If you use a 3x3 curve patch instead of a terrain patch adjust the verts on the then ends and the outside vert in the middle to make your curve then hit shif...

Light entities vs. Worldspawn light Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Just looking for some opinions from anyone who has tried this out. What I am contemplating is using light entities+ lamp models etc. to light my nighttime map and turning off the sun all together. If I remember correctly as long as you attach a null_ent...

wall foliage Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Just a suggestion, but when putting foliage on a wall, you may be better off using a terrain patch instead of a brush. It will help it blend in better and you don't have to worry about what to do with the other faces.... [more]	10	1333	Feb 28, 2008 03:55 pm by jreece2475
Prefab lights Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Yes you do still need the light entity even with the "on" versions of the prefab lights. As for not filling the whole room, the best way I have found to direct the light is to create a null entity, deselect everything, select the light entity then th...

portaling odd shaped areas Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Just curious, but could you make your portal out of a curve patch or terrain patch, or does it have to be a solid brush?... [more]	13	1165	Feb 22, 2008 11:42 pm by jreece2475

? How to just do Smoke? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Here is the script I used on my map to change the direction the smoke drifted: Code:maps\mp\_fx::loopfx("effect", (-690, 165, 50), 1,(-680,165,50)); Obviously change your cords. to match what you are doing and play around with them to get the desired...

Very Noob Lighting Question. Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I may be wrong and have yet to try it myself, But I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you make a small brush to cover the area and use one of the clip textures it works. I'll give it a shot tonight myself as I have a couple of places I need to do... [more]	12	1261	Feb 19, 2008 11:29 pm by jreece2475
