Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? There's no texture on the model, when I shine the flashlight on it, there's no reflection, just black. I followed this tutorial by Kat:
http://www.katsbits.com/htm/tutorials/d ... models.htm
Material:
Code: Select all
models/mapobjects/alm/tree1
{
qer_editorimage models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_d.tga
diffusemap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_d.tga
bumpmap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_local.tga
specularmap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_s.tga
}
ASE file has this path as bitmap:
*BITMAP "//q4base/models/mapobjects/alm/tree1"

Make sure you material file is in the materials folder (q4base/materials). Other then that it looks right to me

I have a alm.mtr in the materials folder where I have materials for everything. That's alright isn't it?
It looks like this by the way:
Code: Select all
textures/alm/brick1
{
qer_editorimage textures/alm/brick1_d.tga
diffusemap textures/alm/brick1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/alm/brick1_local.tga
specularmap textures/alm/brick1_s.tga
}
textures/alm/snow1
{
qer_editorimage textures/alm/snow1_d.tga
diffusemap textures/alm/snow1_d.tga
bumpmap textures/alm/snow1_local.tga
specularmap textures/alm/snow1_s.tga
}
models/mapobjects/alm/tree1
{
qer_editorimage models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_d.tga
diffusemap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_d.tga
bumpmap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_local.tga
specularmap models/mapobjects/alm/tree1_s.tga
}

Open up the ASE model in a text editor and double check the bitmap value if you haven't done so already.

Check if the model uses more then one material (will result in more bitmaps lines in the .ase)
Also make sure you're model have a proper uv-map.

I checked the .ase, there's only one *BITMAP and it's got this value:
"//q4base/models/mapobjects/alm/tree1"

I can't see the problem right off hand, seeing that the BITMAP line looks correct and you said the the .mtr file is in the materials folder. I'm with g0th: Is the model properly UV mapped?

Well this is what it looks like in 3dsmax:

Make sure you checked the UV cordinates box in max when you export.

I don't see anything like that in the ASE export window. I used the default settings:

I still think there must be something wrong with my model. I followed different tutorials completely and with the same result.
Quake 4 does seem to find the texture, because when I do mess up the texture path, the model is all white. Probably something wrong with the UVW map like you said. It's strange that it shows up nicely in 3dsmax but not in-game though.

the only things I use is Mesh def; materials; mesh normals; mapping coords and geometry, nothing else. if I use vertex colors, I add that.

That's it, thank you! Thanks everyone for the help.

I see. I'll use that too then if that's all you need anyway. Thanks!
