Mapping Questions Megathread V6

[dlight]

Why would they suggest that? the amount of stuff that is reflected on your rooftop is not much. In sfm the water shader combo with envmap seems broken. this will not work, i assume.

[Blueberry_pie]

I use the following water material in gm_fork. It uses a cubemap for reflections while still supporting translucency and refraction. Should also work fine when using env_cubemap instead of a premade cubemap texture, I'd imagine:

"Water" {
    "$abovewater" 1
    "%compilewater" 1
    "$reflectentities" 0
    "$envmap" "fork/cubemap_generic"
    "$envmapcontrast" "1"
    "%tooltexture" "nature/water_frame01_normal"

    "$scale" "[1 1]"

    "$bumpmap" "nature/water_coast01_dudv"
    "$normalmap" "nature/water_coast01_normal"

    "$surfaceprop" "water"
    "$bottommaterial" "fork/water_beneath"
    "$bumpframe" "0"

    "$fogenable" 1
    "$fogcolor" "{54 52 48}"
    "$fogstart" 1.00
    "$fogend" 256.00

    "$refracttexture" "_rt_WaterRefraction"
    "$refractamount" 1.0
    "$refracttint" "{255 255 255}"
    "$reflecttint" "{255 255 255}"

    "$cheapwaterstartdistance" "0"
    "$cheapwaterenddistance" "0"

    "$scroll1" "[.01 .01]"
    "$scroll2" "[.05 .05]"

    "Proxies"
    {
        "TextureScroll"
        {
            "texturescrollvar" "$bumptransform"
            "texturescrollrate" .02
            "texturescrollangle" 25.00
        }
    }
}

Props to @Rush_Freak for figuring this out at the time.

@Blueberry_pie Okay. No Problem. I'm aware that removing the reflection texture removes the reflection rendering. Wasn't sure about the cubemaps. I don't know the differences in the shaders in gmod. I tried the 13sdk tho and it does it. So i may assume it works in gmod and sfm is just a lot of broken here and there. lol

Hey, I'm trying to make a gmod map using custom textures and models and I've ran into an issue; I asked my friend to test the map and see if everything's working.These are his screenshots.

The custom textures I've made myself work fine, but the custom assets I've taken from another map (with permission from the creator) show up with missing textures. They work fine in my game, why don't they work in my friend's game?

[Firegod522]

Did you give them the custom textures?

[Leigh]

Within the map files itself or within the game files? They're in the game files but I'm confused to how to pack the vtfs into the map; they didn't show up in pakrat

[Firegod522]

You need to provide them the files if you want them to see anything custom. https://www.tophattwaffle.com/packing-custom-content-using-vide-in-steampipe/ VIDE is a pretty popular tool that should do the trick.

[Ricket426]

Hi again, I'm still having the issue with the skybox appearing above the map, along with a sort of mirroring effect of the map itself. Also still having the issue where some props will not spawn, but did previously in earlier versions of the map. I couldn't find any leaks on the map either.

I've set VIS to normal.

The map overflows the max portal count (34274 of max 32768)!

Looks like you need to optimize your Vis leafs Make sure you are func_detailing non critical details

[Waldory]

Thx ! I gonna try for my next compilation time
have a nice day

You need to blow up the barrels to proceed with the level. Is the hinting obvious enough here? What else can I do to highlight the barrels?

[Stiffy360]

I'd put a crack in the door/floor/ whatever you're trying to blow up, so people know that if something exploded something might happen.

[Waffles]

more danger signs

[Magman77]

Move the fence leftward, put danger signs on the fence in front of the barrels, and move the gate to the right.

[Skerious]

I'm having some trouble with water when you move the camera far away enough.

Is there a way to just make the water invisible when you're far enough away?

[ficool2]

Make a func_areaportalwindow, and give it a water texture so it will resemble water from far away (and hide the real water too)

[Von_funk]

Hey, i didn't want to open a new thread. Im making a ttt map in hammer editor and i get the following problem as soon as i test it

https://i.imgur.com/i069pV6.jpg

No such variable "$refracttexture" for material "custom/rpg_water"

here is the VMT for said texture

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
"$basetexture" "custom/rpg_water"
"$scale" "[0.2 0.2]"
"$translucent" "1"

"%compilewater" 1
// This is needed for physics, etc.
"$surfaceprop" "water"
// You must have this. . this is a material that is practically identical
// to this one in most cases. It must have $reflecttexture disabled, and
// you can set for params uniquely for underwater.
"$bottommaterial" "custom/rpg_water"
// This is needed for the proxy below which animates the normal map, etc.
"$bumpframe" "0"
// Enable water volumetric fog.
"$fogenable" 1
// This is the color of the fog in the water when looking from above.
// You'll have the same thing in the bottom material for when looking from
// below.
"$fogcolor" "{72 177 177}"
// This is the distance in inches from the eye which water fog starts.
// This has to be 0.0 for edge fading to work properly.
"$fogstart" 0.00
// This is the distance in inches from the eye which water fog ends.
"$fogend" 800.00
"$abovewater" 1
"$texoffset" "[0 0]"
// The water generally looks better if we scale it down a bit
"$texscale" "1"
"Proxies"
{
"AnimatedTexture"
{
"animatedtexturevar" "$basetexture"
"animatedtextureframenumvar" "$frame"
"animatedtextureframerate" 15.00
}
"TextureScroll"
{
"texturescrollvar" "$baseTextureTransform"
"texturescrollrate" .5
"texturescrollangle" 270
}

What do i need to add, and what have i done wrong?

[Firegod522]

If it looks fine, then you can ignore the error. It just means you're missing the refraction texture that makes things underneath the water look distored, like waves are passing over.

[Skerious]

Do you think you can clarify the process of that. I'm not sure how to go about triggering the water to get hidden. I tried using func_brush, but that basically just made not water.

Also the reason I wanted to make the water invisible from a distance is so that you can see through into the pool, and I wasn't sure if using a cheap water material as a replacement would help since it's usually opaque.

Why won't my skybox displacement compile? Does it have something to do with the number of brushes or how small it is?? When I delete the displacement, my map compiles fine.

[Von_funk]

i think its not possible to turn a displacement into a func_detail. Just return it to world and see what happens.

I scrapped the hill for the skybox and decided to go for an open field, but now some portions of the fields are missing? None of them are displacements, I don't know why they won't render

[Skerious]

I'm trying to update the nodegraph on the map I'm working on, but for some reason it won't have the current nodes in my VMF even after deleting the AIN file and letting the game regenerate it.

I have 1611 nodes in the VMF. Is is possible that I went over the node limit?

[Da Space Core]

Check your compile log and console in game, post here

[Skerious]

Hiding the nodes in the VMF gets rid of them, and when I unhide them, I still have the previous nodegraph layout.

Here's the compile log:

I got the skybox to work at first with just the brushes, but when I added skybox props it got all screwed up? What should I do to fix this? I disabled shadows for all the props, I'm not sure if that's the issue.

If you have a 3D skybox, try -noskyboxrecurse in VRAD's options
