problem with glass texture and decals.

[quezako]

Hello,

I have a big problem with a map I made.

I don't know if it's due to missing client textures, light or cubemap.

Here are the diffrent examples :


On my computer.

On another computer.

And the wrost !!!

Here are the concerned textures:
"material" "CS_ITALY/IRONGATE01"
"material" "CS_ITALY/IRONGATE01_2SIDED"
"material" "GLASS/GLASSWINDOW070A"
"texture" "cstrike/{sitea"
"texture" "cstrike/{siteb"
"texture" "decals/{arrow_l"
"texture" "decals/{arrow_r"
"texture" "decals/{target"

Maybe it's due to double sided glass?

 

[Hazar]

when you say double sided glass, did you have the glass texture on more than one side?

It should only be on one side I think.

 

[quezako]

I dunno, I'll try but its funk_breakable, not funk_breakable_surf.

Ok I created my own glass shader so now they are white.
I created reflection effetcs for marble and stainless metal too!

Now I have one last problem before releasing my map:
My default env_cubemap is strange, it looks like a square and not like reflections.
When I add a env_cubemap to my map, the same thing happens.
How do I change it to have good reflection effetcs?

You have to add several env_cubemap entities in your level. Place them about at the height of the player's eyes and where lightning is different. Like if you have a dark room and a hallway and another room with a yellowish light, you'd place a env_cubemap in the room, in the hallway and in the other room. If it still looks bad, you can change the lightmap property of the texture.

Edit: And don't forget to type buildcubemaps in the console after loading your level, but I think you know that

Ok that was because I named my map de_rennes_v1_84a instead of de_rennes_v1.
Now I have the good reflections.

I haven't typed buildcubemaps so I did it.
And I get the following error message

Before this one, I had the sem with .txt instead of .vtf.

I created the directories materialsrc\maps\de_rennes_v1 by hand.

 

[Limpet]

You put the vtf and vmt in your css materials folder too right?

 

[quezako]

in materials/de_rennes_v1

 

[Ti133700N]

I guess the texture you use in hammer is in a folder called maps/de_rennes_v1. Create a folder in counter strike source/cstrike/materials/maps/de_rennes_v1 (notice the maps folder) and put your texture that were in the materials/de_rennes_v1 to that directory.

I'm going crazy!!!

Now when I add cubemaps, the game crashes.
If there is no ciubemaps I have a lot of red messages in the console like this one:

env_cubemap used on world geometry without rebuilding map. . ignoring: de_rennes_v1/ccc_glass9

previous versions of my map worked with cubemaps and displayed them well...

 

[quezako]

I found it!
It was because I had only one cubemap.

Ok ow I have one last non-blocking problem:
Reflexions are too big!


cubemaps size 128x128
number of cubemaps: 8
my glass shader:

"LightmappedGeneric"
{
	"$basetexture" "Models/props_trainstation/trainstation_clock_glass001"
	//"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
	"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
	"$surfaceprop" "glass"
	//"$envmapmask" "glass/glasswindow070a_mask"
	//"$envmapmask" "Models/props_trainstation/trainstation_clock_glass001_mask"
	"$translucent" 1
	"$lightmaptint" 0.1
}

and for this one, when I don't caclulate light (fullbright), reflection is correct, otherwise, with light, here is the result:

But the major problem is the 1st screenshot.
How comes

Put more cubemaps

 

[quezako]

Ok I used some env cubemaps given with hl2/css.

Now my map is ready, tested and released!
Thanks to all for your help!
