Terrain problems
2004-12-29, 5:58 AM #1
I have a problem, a while ago, i made a terrain with easygen that finaly works. I have placed some normal brushes in it, but now i am experiancing a problem, when i load it ingame, the terrain turns completely black. The normal brushes and other entities keep there textures, I am sure that the paths to the .pcx and the .shader file are allright. How do i fix this

Did you make sure you started the map, if its MP, with sv_pure 0?

Post the part of your shader that contains the $lightmap stage.

yeah, post the lightmap stage, and if you're using fog, post the fog shader, because I had a syntax error once in my custom fog shader. It worked fine with normal brushes/patches, but once I had terrain in there, everything went pitch black.

sorry, I dunno what the lightmap part is so you must do with the complete shader:

Code:

	nopicmips

	q3map_lightmapmergable

	}

What terrain generator are you using?

Go into your level in SP with the problem terrain, and open the console. Then tell us what is in there.
