eg..

mp_carentan: sky/mp_carentan
"minlightcolor" ".75 .84 1"
"diffusefraction" "0.45"
"sundiffusecolor" ".75 .84 1"
"sundirection" "-45 210 0"
"suncolor" "1 .73 .42"
"sunlight" "1.5"
"_color" ".75 .84 1"
"ambient" ".2"

Hi.

In your entity window:

Give the "key" and "value" like this:


Key:minlightcolor
Value:.75 .84 1

Hit your "enter" key.

and repeat this for the other inputs.

yeah it should say that on the tuts, it took me awhile 2 figure it out

if you read the tutorials on skybox and worldspawn...it does say that

it even show you an example

ye, im just the kinda person who actually needs to see somthin, 2 figure it out, and u cnt enlarge those tut pics..

..anyway, it worked, cheers, alo, i think i must have done somthing a tad wrong, cuz i dnt remember carentans sky being so red >.< but atleast i can see my models and skins now ^^

it also says in the tuts lol. that sum people will see a red shy but when playing its all ok lol even i saw that 1 lol



ty for teh ehelp given 2 u cos it helped me 2 lol

no i think it meens when u select the face in radiant it looks red, im talking in game, the sky looks all nice and blue, but my walls and floor now look like theres bid red tint on them...

Check your colour settings.

"_color" ".75 .84 1"
"suncolor" "1 .73 .42"
"minlightcolor" ".75 .84 1"

Those numbers are RGB values you can use any you like.

ok nice, ive got it sorted now...so can i just give the person the bsp, and thats the map file...or do i need to get a pk3? if so ... how?

Hi.

The best way is to learn making pk3 files,
because in the end you need it anyway.

How to make a pk3 file:

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-116.html

I use pakscape instead of winzip.

You can download this from the download section.

I advice to download an mp map from this site and change the
file extension from .pk3 into .zip.
Now you have an example of the structure ot the maps in it.

For your basic map you only need the "maps" and "mp"
folder.

In the "maps" folder you will notice an "mp" folder.
In this folder you can drop your mp_yourmap.bsp
file.

In this folder you can create an mp_yourmap.gsc file.

Example off this file:


main()
{
//setExpFog (0.00007, .75, .84, .86, 0 );
setCullFog (1300, 16000, 0.78, 0.84, 0.86, 0);

maps\mp\_load::main();


ambientplay("ambient_mp_brecourt");


game["allies"] = "british";
game["axis"] = "german";

game["british_soldiertype"] = "commando";
game["british_soldiervariation"] = "normal";
game["german_soldiertype"] = "fallschirmjagercamo";
game["german_soldiervariation"] = "normal";


game["attackers"] = "allies";
game["defenders"] = "axis";


}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the other "mp" folder in your root comes your .arena file

mp_yourmap.arena:

{
map "mp_yourmap"
longname "mp_yourmap"
gametype "bel dm hq re sd tdm"
}

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This arena file is needed so cod can locate your map.



When i started learning to map i dead two things.

1. Downoaded all the video tutorials.
2. Then i did watch them all.

Just give me some indication what this mapping is all about.

Then i started to map.

In the meantime go through all the tutorials.
