Textures Created 20 years ago2004-09-02 16:51:34 UTC by sprouty

hey i've read the tutorial on textures http://cariad.co.za/twhl/tutorial.php?id=29 managed to get so far but when i go to play map says "WARNING : couldn't open coma_swat.wad" and exits. when i compile map i have written "-dev -console -wadinclude coma_swat" in addition game parameters just wondering if i done something wrong or my cs playing funny bugger again ?

you cant wadinclude wads. as far as i know, its just individual textures. and wadinclude isnt going to solve your problem here. you need to make sure your coma_swat.wad is in your MOD DIRECTORY. e.g half-life/valve or counter-strike/cstrike.

copy your coma_swat.wad into the valve folder

you're all wrong and stupid.
Sprouty; When doing an expert compile (clicky expert in compile window) add -wadinclude coma_swat to the CSG command line.

hey thanks it worked, eerrmm wha would happen if i was to reliase the map ? how would they see the texture would they have to do the same thing i done ??

No, the texture gets included in the .bsp file - thats what -wadinclude is good for

ta mate u saved my map lol thank you sorry bout the question wasn't meant for you! thank you bey much

-wadincluded textures can be obtained only by decompiling the bsp file.

hmm. if u want to use the whole wad file, just put isnstead of -wadinclude, put -nowadwad

-wadincluded textures can be obtained only by decompiling the bsp file.

wait.. how do u decompile a map??

wit a decompiling tool go on google search it download it or wait till one of these lovely chums gets a link to 1

p.s. decompiling other peoples maps is considered rude as its their hard work in it and other people are looking at the maps and editing them!

habboi

Editing a decompiled map? You must never have decompiled a map before, as it doesn't give you a workable .map file. Loads of invalid brushes, and so on...

Also, I believe there's only one program that can extract included wads from bsp files. Quark if I'm not mistaken. There are some other decompilers but they won't give you the wads.
Well, that's as far as I know. Might be wrong as I'm not really into decompiling...

BSPtwoMAP extracts -wadincludes, CP.

And don't edit or use parts of other people's maps from decompiles, period. It's not only rude, its morally irrespectable and will get you flamed beyond belief when you release the map. Don't believe me? Read through this thread:

i actually just want to get the wads from fy_poolday

Wow rabid that was a powerfull flaming like never i have seen before.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "get the wads," zooyorkbmxer. If you mean just to see how something is done, that can be part of learning. If you have any intent of actually using any custom textures in the bsp, take heed of Rabid's comments.

hmm ok..
i realized i can make my own

BSPtwoMAP extracts -wadincludes, CP.

Aha, so that was the one! Thanks!

But indeed, it's best to ask the author for permission. And while you're asking, you could ask the .wad as well...
