Decals

[Mapster]

Ok now this has been bugging be for ages...
When ever i add in a decal it is always too big... it's like 3 times teh original size... how do i minimize the size of the decals and lock the size?

Decals take their orientation and scale from the face on which they rest. To reorient or resize a decal, use an overlay.

cheers

Maybe it should be noted here that overlays take about 10 times the time to render. They're still great though.

the map already takes 3 hours to render :rolling:

Mapster dont over use decals....

That would mean one frame per three hours of playing... I'm pretty sure you're lost.

COMPILING may take 3 hours, but RENDERING is what your computer does ingame.

lol i just caught that....

Overlays have to be on one brush, whereas decals can transcend brushes.

Useful if you have a wall that is comprised of different brushes because of doors, windows etc

i only have like 16 decals in the whole map

ahhahhahahhahhahhaha, you wont find any here...

 

[Mapster]

yeah, this isn't a place to ask for a mapper... if your asking me teh answer is no, unless it is just for details and such :thumbs:

 

[WAR_Nuker]

it says "Nead a mapper? Email me and u will get a reply asap" in your little sig. maybe you are giving people the wrong idea if you actually arent willing to map for them.

That's what I was playing on. Looks like you're the only one sharp enough to have caught it

edit: Nuker has a point. Change your sig.

Talking of decals, I'm having some problems with them. Some decals in my map appear fullbright:



I have cubemaps all over the place, but nothing seems to help.

 

[Unvision]

Weird... that looks more like unlit than fullbright.

Is there any other light hitting it other than the abmient value of the light_environment? Putting another light in there would probably fix it, but it still seems really odd and that shouldn't be necessary...
