Big is beautiful, or am I crazy ? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping i always say big is beautiful, but then my friends mock me for dating fat chicks but back to the map, the problem with making a really big map is that most people will not want to play it. so you have to decide if it is worth spending all that time a...

getting my .map back? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping decompiling maps is really easy, when you know how. it is just that with all these decompiled stock maps that have been released that no one will tell you how to do it anymore. the only problem with the decompiling is that is messes up the textures, an...

Lighting Is Dark On My Map Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping i think this could still be a problem with the shaders. as was mentioned above, the sky shader for mp_jor1 is in the update pk3s (ones called threewave). so to use them you need to extract them to you shaders folder. but once you have added them there ...

Walking on sand ? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping the reason that you do not get the sound of walking on sand is that the texture you are using does not have a shader for it. you can tell the textures that have a shader as they have a white box around them in radiant. if you are talking about mp_jor1 t...

round objects Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping this problem could be down to your game settings. its been a while since i have changed the game setting so im not sure if it is the right one, but i think you need to go into the display setup menu and set 'geometric detail' to high....

round objects Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping patches are the flat 2D parts in a map. they are used to make curved objects, such as cylinders and bevels. to make them you go into the curve menu in radiant. the round object you want would be made out of a patch. if it was a half sphere shape you...

round objects Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping ive never tried, but im sure it would be possible how to do it depends on exactly how you want it to look. but i would guess at doing something like using a patch mesh with the moving water texture ( textures/common/water03_new ) and then using verte...

Can you make models react to light ? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping if you put your models in as misc_model then they will have a shadow. and also when they are misc_model you can add spawnflags : 2 into the entity properties to make them solid, so that you do not have to put a clip brush around them...

Making SOLID models with GtkRadiant 1.4.0 Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping to make solid models there are two ways that you can use. the usual way is to use a clip brush. put the brush over the model and use one of the clip textures for it. i would usually use tools/_clip_car and tools/_clip_trees as they also block bullets...

triggers Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping hard to give you any help, as it is hard to tell what your problem is for the texture problem, it is a guess, but i think what you mean is about the 'cull' part in the shader. most textures have front cull, so are only visable from the front, but som...

.shader file doesn't work Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping just a thought, but it could be if you have not added your new shader to your shaderlist file that it does not work. when you use the texture in radiant, have a look at the texture in the texture window and you should see a white border around the textur...

Buildings/skyscrapers Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping there are quite a few textures you can use for large buildings, such as shop/window_shop and there are many other window textures in the hongkong folder, such as hongkong/window2b that can be used for tall buildings...

How to change the default 1024 BSP split (blocksize) ? Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping the blocksize key is in rtcw , but as far as i know it is not used in sof2. though from the entity description it says Code:Increase the _blocksize using larger powers of 2 to reduce compile times on very large maps with low structural brush density so ...

Mapping Questions Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping to load in a prefab, go up to edit menu and click 'load prefab....' also if the prefabs you have are .pfb files you will need to rename them to .map files, as gtkradiant does not see the others. to get you map to show in the create server part you n...

Textures k up on rotations* Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping not sure about everyone else, but i never use the free rotation. i always go in the menu selection/rotate/arbitary rotation....... although it does still mess up the textures in the same way sometimes. but, to line them up again, hold down shift and up...

kamchatka/coals_b Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping you do not need to add in the glow your self, that should be put in by the shader code for the coals. when you are adding in the coal texture in radiant you just put in the one called kamchatka/coals then the games should add in the glow part for you....
