Shader_Evironment Help

nintendo9713 · Post by **nintendo9713** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 5:45 pm

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.

You can't have a space in your map name .

nintendo9713 · Post by **nintendo9713** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:10 pm

the map file is mm. the command is tool structure levels\mm mm

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.

Thats the stuff filled out I guess

Simple perimiterlization?

nintendo9713 · Post by **nintendo9713** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:30 pm

Its checked.

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)

You lost me on that post 0_o. I jsut used a detail map.

Cryticfarm · Post by **Cryticfarm** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:36 pm

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

nintendo9713 · Post by **nintendo9713** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 6:39 pm

whats the other materials?

I jsut made another with detail grass and detail ground..still didn't work.

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.
