Quake3World

AEon, I think the shader file you submitted is broken somehow. Maybe the space in the name, I don't know. Could be my bad, but it doesn't load for me. I get this:

Edit: darn thing, can't get the img/lvlshot to show. Anyhow, Radiant 1.6.3 just loads the single stages with industrial_light, not the shader itself. No White outlined texture, The shader file is in my scripts directory and added to the shaderlist.txt.

Since I initially created the shader file for the lights, I actually did a compile and tried (two of the lights)... they seem to work. But that was aeblocks.shader, not the one I distributed. When I created the shader for the download, I had to fix many paths, and possibly something went wrong there. I would suggest, you copy and rename the shader, remove all but the code for one light, double-check all paths, and add it to shaderlist.txt. Just to see if you can get one light shader working.

I could release the shader for AEblocks... that so far works for me. And you would then need to change the paths to how you need them though. As mentioned, in AEblocks I put all of Sock's textures into one folder textures\aeblocks\ simplifying pathing. Though I did put all light textures into a sub-folder textures\aeblocks\lights\.

Problems like this may be the reason Sock never releases shaders with his texture packs... har

AEon, so you didn't check for reliabilty of the shader?
So, why did you release it?
I just tried to fix it by replacing [] with [_], doesn't help.
So where is the matter really?

There shoulden't be any spaces in any names or paths anywhere inside the q3 folder.

Checking...

• Yes, rename the shader from tp_industrial lights.shader to tp_industrial_lights.shader. Probably the shaderlist.txt file does not like spaces in names.
• I may assume, that the shader resides under Quake3\baseq3\scripts\tp_industrial_lights.shader?
• And that Quake3\baseq3\scripts\shaderlist.txt contains a line called: tp_industrial_lights
• The way I named/pathed the shaders, these are not e.g. the grates are not in industrial_floor but in industrial... so you need to select that in the textures list, i.e. in GTKradiant, Textures menu, industrial. All shaders are in industrial. But you should have seen that looking into the shader file paths. I did it to avoid naming issues of seeing a texture and its shader side by side.

Had a look into the shader.
I think the problem lies here:

This is yours:

textures/industrial/glass
{
qer_editorimage textures/industrial_glass/glass_gold.tga //...
q3map_nonplanar //...
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm trans
// surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm lightfilter
surfaceparm nonsolid
{
map textures/industrial_glass/glass_gold.tga
blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
rgbGen identity //...
}
}

Just an example.

It should be:

textures/industrial_glass/glass
{
qer_editorimage textures/industrial_glass/glass_gold.tga //...
q3map_nonplanar //...
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm trans
// surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm lightfilter
surfaceparm nonsolid
{
map textures/industrial_glass/glass_gold.tga
blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
rgbGen identity //...
}
}

Then the glass shader should appear under industrial->glass in Radiant.
With your shaderfile Radiant doesn't know where to put it.
The editorimage has to exist if referenced in the shader (It's what's shown in Radiant as a substitude for the actual texture. It is the pic that has the white frame when being a shader). It doesn't have to be in the same subfolder but it usually ends up there.

You can create one shaderfile that references all subfolders, but you have to reference them .
Or you can create several shaderfiles for each subfolder like iD did or EvilLair did for evil6, IE.
One shaderfile is easier to be added to shaderlist.txt, though.

Now that i get the scaling in Radiant i have just to say: WOW!!!
Sock, thats really an amazing work! Your Texture-set made me think different about layouting a Map.
Just played around an hour last night...









Right Box in last screen is just 1 Brush, the left one i cut to form.
AFTER I DID THE BOX I JUST SAW THAT SOCK DID IT THE SAME WAY ON THE CRANE MAP SO I NEVER WILL USE IT IN ANY OF MY MAPS!
This Texture set made me thinking about doing my own textures
SOCK, i really thank you for sharing this great textures! Your Set made me change the way to design!
For me its like i found the "Heiliger Gral" Holy Grail!
And its amazing to see that a Game released on 1999 still have a Fanbase!
And THX to the Guys out here, im not new to Mapping... But in the last 4 Weeks i learnd more from reading posts then in the last years! I had no Internet most Time and thats realy a blocker.
Esp THX to Cityy: You made me start mapping again and you dont know about that
Me just installed quake live when i was bored and looking for free2play games.
I saw QL and was flashed! I saw "Left Behind" and was like WOOOW!
Then i saw Cityy started mapping in 2009, and thinking about this i felt pissed and ashame that i never finished stuff:D
I thought Q3 was dead for Years.
Thank you Guys for this coole Page and sharing all your information!


EDIT: Id took me 3 Times to match scaling "ingame". First try was way to small... You have to think different, its not like using "Stock Q3A Textures"... its weird... Same with the "Multi-Monitor" setup... I just close windows like on reflex caused by working for years only with 1 display By the way, is there an option to fix texture/scale/bla.. windows on a 2nd screen?

Just want to ask if its okay to paint some "decals" onto the Textures?

Example:
[lvlshot]http://i.imgur.com/FWEckZA.jpg[/lvlshot]

I'm not sure. I was gonna to modify some textures in my current project to get a bit more rusty look out, but as I see it, I will have to use decals instead. I can ask Sock if I can somehow modify the given textures to create own versions. If not, I don't lose my head and take some of the textures from CGtextures.com - I am registered here with free account, so I can take many textures. I think it is better to place decal somewhere on the wall instead of modifying the texture and make seams by aligning the decaled textured in a place. Also using brush decals have its advantages over decals painted over texture that it can be used without a seam over multiple brushes with different textures. We do not live in 1999 where the engine originaly used the old painted technique that made seams around the textures when aligning.

Also, you could learn of _decal q3map2 entity which is taken by compiler and projected onto surfaces which are in a range between the decal entity and targetted point entity. I posted a sample map somewhere here in the LEM forum where I used two decals from Tabun's set.

Thx, i tried to get that decal-projection stuff to work but it wont.

Try to learn from this test map: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/764 ... lstair.pk3

Yes, I finally found it This is good to see how the engine wraps the decal texture around the brushwork

Thanks, but i cannot download it :/

Just click the given link. If you are using IE 11, an orange bar appears at bottom: Click the arrow belong with Save and select Save as...

A dialog window appears. Follow instructions inside:


Click Save. Then you can open it like normal ZIP file with your archivation app. It is not important when saving, but I recommend to save it right as PK3 file, regartheless it says ZIP. If downloaded unchanged extension, change it then to PK3 before moving to baseq3.

If this still doesn't work for you, type me, what browser do you use.
Hope it will help you

Now it works, thanks again. Jeah thats looking really good! I have to give it a try again even it seems that shaders hate me Im feeling so foolisch that i cant get a simple shader shader to work, its a shame :/

I finally got around to making a video of the Bridge Crane Map
I hope you enjoy the camera setup (used QMM 1.7)

Nope they're not

Amazing piece of work by the way. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that's UT2004 I'm looking at, if not something even more recent than that.

Wow, Sock Do you actually plan to release that map? That would be cool to play

You guys can grab that on sock's page if you're interested... It looks sexy, doesn't it?

I actually have the industrial texture pack downloaded But I'd like to actually play the Bridge Crane map Looks so awwesoooome!

I meant the map, CZghost. EDIT: It seems the DL links aren't available for this yet. @sock, mind releasing the pk3/map files for this awesome abomination of a map? We'd think it'd be tons of fun. @CZghost agrees.

Well, Sock replied to me in YouTube comments. The map has no gameplay, it was only built to show the actual power of these textures and what can be actually built using this textureset. I offered him he would make the gameplay version of the map - add the items, bots support and so on

IIRC Sock has no plans to release map/source

I know that. Sooo shame

I can understand everyone is curious to wander around the map, but (I mean a big but) there is nothing there, no gameplay, no items, no flow, its just a giant box of models. "So why don't you add all those things!" Sorry, I would prefer to spend my time on other projects!

All of the textures have been released, there are tons of reference images on the internet, several decal texture packs have been linked around these parts and all the editor tools are available to create your own industrial visions!
