WTF?? (JO)

So I fix the terrain in my level. It compiles (With BSP Monitering off, it crashes otherwise), I open the game. I am greeted with this:

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/13744.jpg]
(I opened the load screen so it would show even more messed-uppedness)

Puzzled, I open the level. It hasn't been updated at all. The terrain I added is not there, just my old placeholder stuff. Plus, the sky is dflt. See for yourself:

[http://www.massassi.net/ec/images/13743.jpg]

All I had done before this is add the metashader for my terrain to the shaders folder and edit it to suit exactly as my tutorial said it should be.

WTF?? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

If it crashes in BSP Monitoring, it's not going to compile anyway. You did something wrong somewhere, and it's not updating the BSP because of it. If you turn monitoring off, it just doesn't tell you that it messed up [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

I got that once! Check the shader files with Notepad. Make sure you don't have some nasty shader-ness.

Check the comiple process. Sometimes the shader error will appear.

My terrain... here: http://www.pcgamemods.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2951

Go down until you see a large bold quote. I followed that tutorial exactly, but I changed 'tutorial' to 'chemical', my map name. It doesn't work!

Hmmm..

If you change the name, you must change the names in the metashader file.

I did. Everything on my terrain is named 'chemical'.

Let's if this will work:

Take out the terrain shader file and put it in a temporary folder (just don't delete it).

Now, start the game. If it works fine than that terrain shader is causing problems.

Ayuh. What's the problem?

Did you update the shaderlist.txt? Any new shader needs to be put in the shaderlist.

I don't trust that textures/chemical/baseterrain

hmmm...

I can see the problem... You're missing 2 brackets, one at the beginning and one at the end.

Bah. It gives me that "Can't find Chemical.pcx" crap in the compile now. Any ideas?

Make sure you correctly export everything [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Quote:
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
Save the .pcx file into the "gamedata/base/" directory, and save the metashader into the "base/scripts/" directory. This will need to be moved into the "base/shaders/" directory in a little bit, but right now EasyGen only wants you to put it into the scripts folder. Set the remaining options up like I've got them (I assume you're using q3map2 to compile), and you're good to go. Hit "Continue >>>" and away we go--just save it as whatever.map in the "base/maps/" folder, and we're done with this part.</font>

Cut out

textures/chemical/baseterrain group.

and compile it. See if that will work.
