You know, it's really hard to hold a cohesive argument when we're arguing about two completely different things. I'm out of this discussion.

You've proven me wrong by doing what exactly? I never said what you are doing cant be done strictly with entities. I was saying a script would have been much simpler, and used less entities.

I'm not saying I've proven you wrong. I was bringing to light your obvious contradiction in this post. You said that some things won't work without icarus. Right after that, you said it's fun to prove people wrong who say something won't work. So you inadvertently said it's fun to prove yourself wrong. Is that clear now?

Yeah..... the things you can't do with entities. Which was the point I was making. Derp.

And the point I was making is it's fun and interesting to prove you wrong in that statement.

Theres a lot you cant do without icarus. Overcoming limitations and doing things that people tell you "will never work" is my idea of fun and interesting.

So basically what you're saying is, if you don't use scripting, some things "will never work".

Why you people wouldnt just make a script, ill never know.

Pff, like I know how to script. This method is way more interesting and fun.

A Wookiee model besides Chewbacca.

Downloading this and looking through its selection is a good (and by good I mean impractical) way to know if skins for these things exist already. I don't know if there's a separate/original release for the wookiees, because I'm too lazy to search for it, but they exist.

Lol, I have a particular hate for anything to do with Felucia.

Why? It's pure artistic beauty that murders everything.

so many TFU requests

it's like people think it's good or something

 

As for what I would like to see..how about some more varied people from the cantina in A New Hope? Swear I haven't seen models for like half the people in there.

Well he did say he'd do tfu. Following your thought, a h'nemthe would be sweet.

Well if you're going to go tfu 2 (or any tfu for that matter),

Hey eifion! No such thing as enough lurking

Oh uh... Star Wars, right... *cranks down badass to a reasonable level*

Sweet, it works! Thank you so much

Thanks for the help, that picture really seemed like it would work. Really. I can't see any flaws in it. It's really clear and easy to see how it works.

The trigger toggles the bottom two, m0 (cropped out of the 2d view, sorry)

which goes to the second two, m1 and m2. m1 has the 'inactive' box checked.

Both sides have an activator, targeting the other side's relay, a deactivator targeting its own relay, and a music file.

Two possibilities attempted:

1. m1 targets the three entities titled music1. m2 targets the three entities named music2.

Result: Each time I press the button, music2's file restarts.

2. m1 targets music1, and applies target2 and target3 to m1a and m1d. m2 has the same, but with music2, m2a, and m2d.

Result: First press activates music2's music, every subsequent press does nothing.

In the latter I switched the order of target2 and target3, thinking it was important whether it hit the deactivator or activator first, but there was no change. I've checked, re-checked, and re-re-checked all the targets and targetnames and entity types to make sure everything is in order.

That doesn't work if I only have one trigger for on/off. It has to target one, both, or none, not one at a time. The only way to branch off into separate alternating inputs I can find is target_randoms or target_relays with the random key (By the descriptions they work the same way). However that's random, and so I gather it won't reliably alternate.

Then again I could be missing something obvious again.

Whoa, I completely missed that. Is there a way to invert the input so one can start off, and one trigger switches between them? It switches automatically if the worldspawn music is set as one, but it won't switch back.

I'm making a map with a switch designed to change the entire theme and atmosphere, by activating some doors, func_walls, and such. I have two valid song files for each of these switch states, but I can't seem to find a way to apply both of them effectively. I'm afraid this is impossible, but I'd like to consult here before giving up or devising an incredibly ineffective method. Is it possible to create a toggle-able (looping included) global sound file? If so, how?

How do I make it work, then? Is there some way to create those textures, or is there somewhere else to redirect the shader to? I know I can change the path of that location in the export options.

Needs more house music.

I don't know if listening to your own music counts as self-absorbant or not. I mean, it's good music.

Just to clarify, do you mean "*/shaders/" or "*/shader/"?

I can't spot anything immediately wrong with the shader file.

"*/shaders/". I just kinda blurted that out so it wasn't plural.

I thought it was weird that there's all these references to "textures/ahnonay/" when there's no folder of that name actually physically there. Is that just a make believe thing I don't understand, or should something actually be there?

here it is. Go nuts.

Wait, you are trying to apply a custom shader to the terrain? or base yavin textures?

EasyGen can brush the base textures on, so the textures fade into each other and look more natural. This creates (I think) two shader files that reference the textures to system/terrain. So I'm using base textures, but there's a custom .shader file.

Quake 3 Arena shaders can be a bit different from JKA's, I know this from experience...

I suggest you ask @Razish

*runs*

Thanks, I'll bug 'im. :T

The terrain texture appears in gtkradiant when I build it. Also I know it compiles, because at one point I changed the skybox from caulk to yavin and it worked just fine. I'm wondering if EasyGen makes the .shader on default for a different q3 engine game, and jka is just different enough to cause errors. After all, it dumps the .shader in the scripts folder (which has none of jka's .shaders).

I really don't know anything about shader files since I don't know what the keys mean at all. I've worked with them for skins before, but it was mostly copy paste from other skins' shaders and very vague understanding of the structure.

I've always loved terrain. I've never tried it before really, but I've always wanted to. EasyGen is a great way to make untextured terrain. I mean, I painted the textures on it and it all looks pretty in that program. I export to .map and set the textures to system/terrain and system/caulk. The textures on the actual map are just base yavin. I have added the .shader file name to shaderlist.txt, and attempted to run it with the .shader in the shader folder AND with it in the scripts folder (I think it's shader, but all the tutorials I've found say scripts). The terrain texture has shown up every time as a blank texture not found.

...what am I doing wrong.
