coding: quad stuff and a question

[ensiform]

Here are the neat team colored quad shader around the rocket/grenade/prox missiles:

Okay so those are the missiles themselves.. but im also trying to get a sphere model to be the explosion if u have quad...

heres what i got so far:

Code: Select all

          if (cg.snap->ps.powerups[PW_QUAD]) {
               if (cg.predictedPlayerState.persistant[PERS_TEAM] == TEAM_RED) {
                    mod = cgs.media.redSphereModel;
                    //shader = cgs.media.redQuadShader;
                    sfx = cgs.media.sfx_rockexp;
                    mark = cgs.media.burnMarkShader;
                    radius = 64;
                    light = 300;
                    isSprite = qtrue;
               } else {
                    mod = cgs.media.blueSphereModel;
                    //shader = cgs.media.quadShader;
                    sfx = cgs.media.sfx_rockexp;
                    mark = cgs.media.burnMarkShader;
                    radius = 64;
                    light = 300;
                    isSprite = qtrue;
               }
          } else {
           ... regular explosion ...
     }

the problem is that, the thing just shows as the missing texture checkerboard... any help please?

Dude, I think the best choice would be for different skins for the rocket, because quad shells on flames don't look good at all They also look cheap.

However, the error is obviously a path error. The easiest way to see where you went wrong is to pull down the console and page up until you find something like ERROR: Blah blah blah and then check what it says there. Sounds like your shader is wrong, typo maybe.

not very noticeable on the rocket model and id rather not change the skins, i think the quad around missiles looks cooler, and i figured that i need to make isSprite qfalse. for the sphere to show up.

no it was not wrong, the models loaded in a test map.
