I don’t need any one texture in particular, just more textures to choose from in general. Also as I believe 999 put it, "quake looks like mud" every texture seems to be brown or gray. So I took it upon myself to make some "colorful textures." Many of these may be a little to outrageous to use in quake, but there are a couple good ones in there.

Yeah, we can all use more textures "in general". I was just wondering if you needed a GROUP of textures.<br><br> I already have three new WADs, which I'm not posting until I finish adding more textures to them. I'm using the new wall, floor and door WADs right now and add about 5 textures a day. I have enough textures to create a few new categories as well, I just haven't gotten around to it.<br><br>I guess I'm looking for an excuse to get my butt in gear and finish organizing these WADs.<br><br>Matt, when you are finished with your map, can I post the colorful_walls.WAD to my site? Your name will be credited of course.<br><br>Those colors are very nice. They definately defy the standard "quake mud" look. <br><br>Last modification: randall - 04/27/01 at 16:02:59

I dont mind if you go ahead and post them on your site before I release my map, I will not use most of them anyways. The same goes to paul or anyone else who wants to post them. I may have some other textures later.

well my maps coming along good, and its starting to take a definite form, i believe i'll be ready to release in about a week, my friend is also making a different map, so we don'tt have to sit at the same computer . And deigo i have been taking a break from the boards, i haven't posted at all yesterday, or thursday, the waves are up at the beach, and i'm going today too! shoulder high and glassy, ahhhhh i love the beach.

Two questions:<br><br>Is it possible to decrease the entire map size all at once? Like I could enter the magnitude of .9 or something and it would get 10% smaller?<br><br>Also, for some reason I have been getting errors when trying to compile and run my level. It says that my map was not built and ask if I would like to continue. Upon further inspection, it seems that it does not see the map in the directory I have it pointing to, but it is there. Anyone know anything about this?

[randall]

Most map editors don't support that type of global scaling because of the implications it could have.<br><br>As far as the compiling error goes, I have run into that problem before. There are several things that could cause it.<br><br>The last time it was an invalid texture. Texture names are limited to 15 characters, otherwise it becomes an invalid. Sometimes an invalid will still compile and appear as a checkerboard in the .BSP.<br><br>In this case, it just refused to compile until I repaced the invalid texture.<br><br>Remember to back up your files often. As a last resort you can always use the .MAP file from your last successful compile (a .MAP file is always generated for compiling).

[Matt Keys]

that must be it, I started getting the error after I applied some new textures to the map.<br><br>Thanks,

[Matt Keys]

I am having some different problems now, I have some double doors set up and they work fine except when I compile and run my map they are "transparent" until I look at them up close at a certain angle. Also when I am standing in the middle of my map and I look to either left or right I see grey blocks being drawn on my map. I assume this is quake does to speed up performence by not drawing what you cant see. The problem is I CAN see this, and it is really annoying.<br><br> Last modification: Matt Keys - 04/29/01 at 16:39:05

[Moose or Chuck]

Uhm. I think that's a problem with either the cl_maxparticles or cl_maxedges/maxsurfs variables in the autoexec.cfg. Because that happens to me too. It's not anything to do with the doors themselves or how you made the map.

[randall]

I assume all this happens in pocketQuake, not WinQuake?

[Matt Keys]

Actually this is all happing in winQuake, I notice this happens with all entities. So is this just a problem with my Quake. Or if I was to release this would everyone have this problem? If this is just a problem with my quake I could release this map maybe later on today.
