Custom Textures have white tint when using a normal map Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I worked out the problem, I was using hedge.dds and hedge.tga which was giving me hedge.iwd and that odd off-white colour. So I changed the filenames of the source files so that I was using hedge.dds and hedge_n.tga and now I get two .iwds from it - he... [more]	10	2303	Jan 21, 2010 10:39 pm by Beej
Custom Textures have white tint when using a normal map Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping cskiller86 - only ticked case to make it easier to find in radiant (though it's probably not the most appropriate category!) I'm making my normal map, by opening my colormap .dds in photoshop (without the mipmaps) and then running the nvidia normal map f... [more]	10	2303	Jan 20, 2010 10:28 pm by Beej
Custom Textures have white tint when using a normal map Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Couldn't put up the screens before as I was at work: In game (and colour and normal maps in the lower right) Assman ... [more]	10	2303	Jan 20, 2010 07:20 pm by Beej
Custom Textures have white tint when using a normal map Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping First off, this isn't the same problem as ]SAS[Foamy's two topics... Basically if I don't use a normal map, I'm able to get my texture to show up fine in both radiant and in game. However, when I use a normal map (created in photoshop using Nvidia'...

Exporting a group of models Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I have a bit of an odd question... I'm quite a way into my map (I might post some screen shots later:)) and there are a couple of places where I'm hitting 'Too many static models visible. Not drawing models' in game - Even my portals don't help in some ... [more]	4	1052	Jan 12, 2010 12:55 pm by Beej
Light problems/questions Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Idiot (me) I had shadows switched off! (my lights switch off by moving - not by shadow brushes) So I made a simple map and my shaft is completely black whether I compile with the shaft door open or closed... (In map I just have a tall shaft and the doo... [more]	15	1220	Jan 5, 2010 06:53 pm by Beej
Light problems/questions Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Hmmm, I have one more idea... Are you compiling with the doors open or closed? I think you would need to compile with the doors open and the shadow brush out of the way for the lighting to work properly... and then close them when you start the map. Of...

Light problems/questions Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Are you sure that it's not just ambient light when the doors are closed? What are the lighting settings on your worldspawn? ... [more]	15	1220	Jan 4, 2010 06:32 pm by Beej
Quick portals question... Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping What do i do with windows in my buildings that have glass in them? Do I apply the portal texture in the same way as a would with a normal open window?... [more]	2	877	Oct 6, 2009 12:24 pm by Beej
Reflective ceiling, wall's... Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping mp_broadcast uses the translucent texture "ch_tile_floor05_blend" on the floor and the other side of it is a flipped copy of all the models and brushes in the room, which gives the illusion of a reflective surface. So if you want to do this on your cei... [more]	3	963	Aug 30, 2009 11:18 am by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I finally found and fixed the problem! I had somehow added key:origin value:55.3742 274 48.9 to my worldspawn... Deleting this and recompiling made the lights compile in the right place So if anyone else gets this problem, check there's nothi... [more]	12	1154	Jan 27, 2009 07:08 pm by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I still havn't managed to fix this... I've never read about or seen anything like this before Can anyone suggest a fix, or has anyone seen this behaviour before?... [more]	12	1154	Jan 24, 2009 08:20 pm by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I deleted all of my lights again and re-added just the one light, I then recompiled and I still see exactly the same behaviour :( The origin value matches the position where it's shown in radiant, but during compile it gets moved! It's very annoying... [more]	12	1154	Jan 22, 2009 07:58 pm by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping tomv8, from my understanding what you describe applies to primary lights, but this is just a standard non-primary... The values are just the simple defaults and I've not seen this problem with other maps I've made... I've added some screenshots to s... [more]	12	1154	Jan 21, 2009 10:39 pm by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I'm not sure I understand your response... I now just got one ligtht which is just the simple, right click > light placed in the centre of the room... However, in game the light is outside the room lighting the exterior wall... something seems to ha... [more]	12	1154	Jan 21, 2009 10:14 pm by Beej
Lights don't compile in the right place! Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I'm seeing a very odd problem where lights that I have positioned in radiant are located about 300 units from their placed position when I enter the game... Has anyone else experienced it?! I'm quite a way into my map and decided to place a couple of l... [more]	12	1154	Jan 21, 2009 07:17 pm by Beej
how do i convert a cod4 map into cod waw? Call of Duty: World at War : CoDWW MP Mapping I still have a couple of questions on this... Can anyone confirm that the find / replace texture method works? It seems too easy...! Also, does anyone know if it would work if I was to add custom textures to WaW rad (from COD4) that are named the sa... [more]	12	2254	Jan 18, 2009 02:38 pm by Beej

Plain Old Transparent glass Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping If you just want to make a transparent pane of glass, select the brush sides in radiant and texture them with one of the glass textures, in textures usage > windows, com_glass I think is the name of the best one... As for saving something to use in anot... [more]	6	1208	Dec 20, 2008 11:48 pm by Beej
how do i convert a cod4 map into cod waw? Call of Duty: World at War : CoDWW MP Mapping I have perhaps a silly question, if you used custom textures in the COD4 map and put the same custom textures into WaW... do you still have to retexture or does it just come across textured when opened in WaW rad?...

check texture command Call of Duty: World at War : CoDWW MP Mapping Hey shivix, In COD4, once you had used /devmap_mapname to get into the map, it was /cg_drawmaterial 1 Havn't tried it in WaW but it should work ... [more]	2	1061	Dec 5, 2008 09:58 pm by Beej
Is it possible to change the colour of a _blend texture? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping The texture "ch_tile_floor05_blend" is used in mp_broadcast (in the reflective floor server room) and it appears more blue than it does in radiant? Is this just a trick of the light or is it possible to change the colour of the texture? I had a look a... [more]	1	853	Dec 2, 2008 11:16 pm by Beej
Maps that didn't make the cut/Possible future DLC Call of Duty: World at War : CoDWW MP Mapping All those load screens are in iw_04.iwd in the main folder, I'm guessing it's what they used right at the very start when Infinity Ward handed them the COD4 engine...?...
