Well heres a map im working on:
I don't know if ya'll recognize it with halo textures, but thats beside the point..the model passes tool's crap, but now..it needs a shader environment. I've made over 20, just none will work, i tried previously used ones (of course changing bitmaps) and etc. Can anyone help me out by telling me something? I'm not really targeting UBER detail, i want to get it working. Thats it. Any suggestions?

This is the debug part:
Code: Select all
06.05.07 20:54:49 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------
06.05.07 20:54:49 reference function: _write_to_error_file
06.05.07 20:54:49 reference address: 42ca20
06.05.07 20:54:49 Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'
06.05.07 20:54:54 failed to create new tag '.shader_environment'
I type tool structure levels\mm mm (yes mm is the map name) and it says building geometry...then choose shader type, 1-9. I have a shader_environment made..so i press 1, and it says failed...I've tried about 20 shaders and can't get it working.

Did you name your hsader_enviroment to you bitmap?
EX.
mm_ground.bitmap
mm_gruond.shader_enviroment
BAD SPELLING

Show me a screeny of your shader in guerilla and if it has 2 page show both. Only show the page you filled in though.

Why is the first 1 detail cliff rock? Did you put .shaderenviroment at the end? Cause you shouldn't (don't know if its bad)

No you need the b30detail ground not cliff and did you make shaders for your other materials?

OMG I think you need to make one for all your bitmaps you used... And what did you name the material you used for the top skybox thingy.
