gtkradiant + darkplaces

[Protocol01]

Hello all,

I've been itching to create a map using the darkplaces engine, and since gtkradiant 1.5 has this option available 'out of the box' I went ahead and used this instead of Worldcraft 3.3.

I can compile a map and run it no problem, but here is my dilemma:

Not all of the textures load into gtkradiant. I've downloaded and installed the rygel-dp-texturepack-high.pk3 and it is installed to:


C:\Program Files\Quake\Id1

The textures show up fine in darkplaces and in dpmod but only a certain few are showing up in gtkradiant, and it is only like 5 or so that show up.

Can someone please provide me with specific directions on how to get all the textures to load or show up in gtkradiant 1.5?

If I have to, I would be willing to use an older version of gtkradiant as long as I had specific directions on how to set up darkplaces in it.

Thanking you in advance,

Protocol01

Try this version as it supports more up to date specifics/platforms...

Thank you R00k, I'm downloading it now!

Ok downloaded and installed into:

C:\program files\netradiant

I'm still having the same issue though, only a few of the textures are still showing up, would it help if I unpacked these textures into a folder called "textures" and place it in the C:\program files\quake\id1\textures directory?

I know this is an older thread.. but I am having the same problem. The textures appear either corrupted in the editor or are completely black. When I compile a room and run it everything is fine. I think it is coming from the video card/drivers, but am not sure. My console is almost identical to the above post. My video card is different, but the GLversion is the same. I am building maps for Q3.

I am currently using a Wildcat VP990pro with 512mb, and the latest drivers offered.. They are no longer in business '06 drivers.

I also have a Quadro 700xGL which gives me the same problem with new drivers.

Any help fixing this would be great.
Thanks!

Why don't you simply map for Quake and use replacement textures later?

The only difference between the DP gamepack and the Quake one is that you are apparently supposed to load your textures from pk3 files instead of wads. As far as I can see.

Normally you don't map "for Darkplaces". You map for a game, such as Quake or Nexuiz. The bsp format and entity definitions of your map are more important than what engine it runs in. I assume you want q1bsp, or do you want to use q3bsp or something?

Darkplaces isn't a game, it's an engine. Hence having a gamepack is pretty rubbish.

What do you want? Do you want to make Quake maps that run in Darkplaces?

I actually worked at Insomniac Games and worked on the Resistance 1 & 2 games. I am really just wanting to reuse some of my artwork to make some small maps as portfolio work. Quake 3 and Doom3 would be my lowest two targets. I am not really interested in making Q1 or Q2 maps/mods for those respective engines. I love those games however!

My issue seems to be with GTK Radiant.. No textures/shaders are showing up in the texture editor, or in the 3D viewport. Everything shows fine and builds fine when I run Q3A and run my map. This issue makes it impossible to scale a texture on a brush as I can't see it. It is either black or garbled. It is there though.

Thanks again!

OK, I misunderstood... I thought you wanted to make maps for Q1. Serves me right when posting while I'm half asleep. Right, you should probably ask at func_msgboard - Func_Msgboard. I have no experience making Q3 maps, but there are people there who can probably help you.

Personally I'd install the Q3 gamepack and try that, but I don't know where the textures go in that case. I've only got Q1 and Doom3 set up.

[dfsp_spirit]

Haven't made a Q3A map in a long time but I remember that Radiant should read them from the pk3 files in baseq3, no need to extract them. Func or Q3W are good places to ask.

You definitely need the q3a gamepack (and the example maps for the newer versions of Radiant), it is not optional.

[golden_boy]

From what I get, the DP gamepack is for mapping with external textures? Otherwise I'm not quite sure what the purpose is.
