Null texture Created 14 years ago2010-08-12 07:23:31 UTC by jimmyboy

Where is the null texture?
Im trying to make a one-way window but i cant find the null texture anywhere,
Is it in a WAD file or what?
The WADs im currently using are;
Half-Life.wad
Liquids.wad
Decals.wad

Download zhlt tools: http://downloads.ammahls.com/zhlt/zhlt34x86final.zip
In it you will find zhlt.wad

You should be using the zhlt compile tools too, btw. They're so much better than the stock compile tools that tutorials pretty much assume you're using them.

I'd say the SHLT are even better. And zhlt.wad comes with it.

Don't use the null texture, use the bevel texture instead.

The bevel texture is better in most cases, but not all. In this case, the player should presumably be able too shoot or touch the window from the "invisible" side. Because bevel doesn't generate clip barriers, the player might be able to walk through the window a few centimetres or not be able to shoot at it.

Well If he wants one face completely untextured sure, But he could also create two brushes both bevel textured overlapping eachother, and make one of them the func_wall with a glass texture facing north and the other with the regular wall texture facing south? That's a better method at least.

Right. I didn't think of that.

How about using {blue for the invisible side?

If so, {blue needs to be func_wall with RenderFX "Solid" and RenderValue "255"
(0 = Black, 255 = Invisible). Just a reminder.

Using {blue instead of null or bevel is like storing Unicode characters in 64-bit integers instead of 32-bit integers. It's a waste of memory and processing power.

I always did one-way windows that way.

Well now you've learned a better way right? Plus I told you how to actually make a one-way window rather than a one way wall and other way invisible wall.
