Code:

OpenGL window configuration: colour-buffer = 32bpp, depth-buffer = 32bpp
Unable to find default tag file C:/netradiant-20120705-win32/virtuoso_q1.game/shadertags.xml. No tag support.
OpenGL window configuration: colour-buffer = 32bpp, depth-buffer = none
Texture load failed: "textures/+0camon"
Texture load failed: "textures/+0dfbutt"
Texture load failed: "textures/+0dfmon2"

i put my texcher wads in the c:quake/virtuoso file and they all show up in radiant as shader not found...

any ideas?

That was an oversight. Thank you for testing my package and catching that. I have uploaded the fixed package or you can make the simple adjustment below.

1) open RADIANT_ROOT/games/virtuoso.game
2) change texturetypes = "tga jpg png" to texturetypes = "tga jpg png mip hlw"

if you restart radiant and you are still having the no wad problem...close radiant

3) go in RADIANT_ROOT/settings/1.5.0/ and delete everything
4) restart the Virtuoso game pack

Thank you again JD for catching that.

Extra: this oversight happened for 2 reasons

1) I had already put wad format in archivetype and incorrectly assumed that was sufficient. Plus I had show_wads="1", but I understood incorrectly what that actually meant.

2) I was using a wad that had actual replacement textures in a format that I had included in texturetypes so, I never got that error. When I placed a wad with no replacements in my virtuoso folder it all fell apart.

I honestly don't believe you should have any more problems, but if you do please tell me.

sweet man ill give it one more go. it had no texchers but i compiled a map any way! it worked very well! im excited to play with this! thanks for taking the work out of building a quake map.

**MadGypsy** · 09-03-2013, 06:57 PM

running the map and everything worked from my build menu, for you?

If so, checkmate, bullshit eliminated!

**JDSTONE** · 09-03-2013, 07:18 PM

it did run from the build menue and it worked well i only used the first build option... still not seeing the texcher in the wad thow... hear is the wad i use do we need to add bitmap to the texturetypes ?

**MadGypsy** · 09-03-2013, 07:27 PM

lol, you have to select a brush, open the entity inspector (press N) and add "id.wad" in the Wad: [id.wad ] field. That's standard for any map you make in Radiant. I had the same problem with the first map I ever made so, don't feel bad for not knowing that.

You can use more than one wad by separating them with a semi colon.

Wad: [id.wad;someother.wad;yetanother.wad]

using the txqbsp_RS builds (map1) you can even do this

Wad:[*.wad]

and it will just use every wad in the virtuoso folder.

BTW: the "RS" stands for rotate and skip. It's an upgraded bsp compiler that supports brush rotation and better skipping.

Also, just to give you a leg up. If you go to virtuoso_q1.game/compilers/map1/docs there is a file named read_how. That is Bengt Jardrups readmevis.txt. If you scroll way down it tells you a whole lot about options you can use in your map and in your build regarding light and vis. I straight-up recommend that you read that. things that start with -(minus) are switches that you can include in the build menu. Things that start with _(underscore) are options that you type into the key: field of the entity inspector.

For instance

entity inspector with a brush selected so you are modifying worldspawn
key: _sunlight
value: 250

build menu. note to people that think the below is wrong. It isn't if you are using my build menu. I threw -soft in there so to illustrate that more than one switch can be used at a time.
[light] -soft -sunlight 250

JD brought it to my attention that he still could not get the textures to show up in his map. So I ran a test and figured out the problem. It has nothing to do with my gamepack (at this point) it all depends on what compiler you use.

if you are using hmap2 you can get away with this
Wad: id.wad

if you are using the map1 or xt compilers you have to write the full qualified path. I recommend doing it like this:
Wad: C:\Quake\Virtuoso\*.wad

that will use every wad in your virtuoso folder without you having to write each individually, but only the wad textures that you actually use in your map will be saved in the compiled bsp.

note: *.wad does NOT work with hmap2

Hey guests, members, whomever you are. I see you coming here. Are you using this game pack? Is it working for you? Do you have a question or suggestion? A lot of work went into making all of this as simple as possible. Is it still too hard? Maybe you are a pro auditing me. Is there a better job that I could do? I'd sure like to know these things, especially in the guest sense.

Don't you think 2 years of following me around, using my work and learning from my tutorials that, it might be time you actually participate? Projects get better due to input. If you are relying on me to know everything there is to know, never make a mistake, consider and create the most productive possible solutions, all by myself, I would say that is a very unfair attitude/position/mentality.

If it wasn't for JD, my package would have one small but crucial mistake and the most starter piece of information, to get textures to appear in your map, would have never been addressed. You'd be left thinking my game pack is broken until I finally realized these things on my own, which may have been quite a while because, I am currently writing docs.

This isn't a rant, it is an appeal. An appeal for the same consideration that I granted you while I was employing all of my effort to make mapping about making maps and eliminating confusing "third party" and professional steps.

NetRadiant is in active development so why not submit your improved q1 game thing to them? That would make it easiest for users.

You better stop caring about not everyone saying something about your work. It's soothing not to. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_ru...ternet_culture) . Not everyone who looks at this thread will care at all about its contents.

**golden_boy** · 09-04-2013, 08:38 AM

I have to agree with Spirit, and I think I said a similar thing earlier.

I am interested in this project, and read your posts (and your PMs), but I simply didn't have time recently to actively participate. I'm so busy recently that I can't keep my eyes open half of the time. Other people might have other reasons for not actively commenting.

I still intend to participate in the near future though.

Patience!

Another thing, consider making threads about this at other communities that use Radiant. Your project isn't fluff, it's actually interesting, so those communities might also be interested in it and it gets exposed to more people.

**MadGypsy** · 09-04-2013, 11:29 AM

Yeah you guys are right. I shouldn't compel people to give me feedback. Especially the massive amount of guests that never do. My bad. This is something that I need to know if it is working for more than just two people with a shitty out of date computer and OS.

You guys need to stop telling me what to do and derailing my threads with your negative opinions about my desire for feedback. That's what needs to stop. Use the PM feature for that shit. I read them and respond.

I am working on that.

Patience!

I have patience. My appeal was mostly to guests and I put it there now because I know it will be read off and on for months. I went to my Become a Quake Modder thread the other day and there were a bunch of guests. I haven't even written anything there in forever. I'm sick and fucking tired of "guests"! These mother fuckers need to learn how to participate! "Gimme all your knowledge and work so I can hit the road" is pissing me off!

**JDSTONE** · 09-04-2013, 11:52 AM

well i think the update did not stick for me cose i reinstalled and it seems to be working just as it should!

**MadGypsy** · 09-04-2013, 12:10 PM

Regardless of what any of you think I am looking for feedback wise. I NEED:

Win 7 - works
Linux (distro info) using wine - works
Win 8 - won't build, here's my error

HI, I'm a pro mapper - you should include these compile tools
Another pro mapper here - you should include these switches in your build menu for MAP1 compilers
Yet another pro mapper - did you know you can do q2/q3 map stuff with the -q2map switch in txqbsp. You might want to consider blah blah blah

I don't expect these answer today, but if I never make it clear that I need these answers then I certainly won't get them. Do you understand now, g_b and spirit?

Before you even say it - I'm aware this needs to be on func. This is an early realease and I am still polishing it. Imagine if I would have posted it on func first. I'd be getting laughed at for forgetting the "hlw mip" options in texturetypes. I'd like to make sure there are no completely stupid mistakes first. That's why I need the people (especially guests cause there are a lot) that are using this to give me feedback here.

**Guest** · 09-04-2013, 09:09 PM

I'm sure M-G you could make cash doing this... just try to see what could be done with a "toy" in our days!
