Help Please :(

dPP

Hi im making a new map and i want the texture "Coretexture" to be very bright , like the brushs behind the cc on ns_origin. But when i use tex lights the texture itself does not become bright so its resulted me in making a brush with Coretexture with fx amount 200 and a white brush behind it to make the white tex light shine through and when i go Gorge this happens ::

Help me please <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This topic should be in the Mapping Help and Troubleshooting forum......

Honestly, is it that hard to comprehend that when the word "Help" is in a forum name that when you need help, you should post in there? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

What would the difference be?

LePrau

The Approach using Texlights should be fine ... add a line to the lights.rad or <mapname>.rad like this:

coretexture <r> <g> <b> <value>

where 128 192 192 and a value like 500+ should be fine. The dark side of this is: the texture will light up everything around it (as texlights always do).

If you use a small value, the Texture won't be lightened much. The higher the value, the brighter the texture itself <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[edit]
From your screenshould I would say that you are not compiling with radiosity (means: hlrad.exe does not run at all) what might be caused by a compile error.
Are you sure the map gets compiled completely?

Moconnor

just had another look at it. Only if you want the core texture to give off light
make it func_wall and set the light colour and brightness under "textlight style"
You dont have to specify it in a .rad

OR if you just want it to glow just set render mode to glow!! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
