Applying textures to brushes over 128 units

I'm new to snarkpit/hammer.

I searched.

I didn't find a solution to the following problem:

if I have a wall in my room over 128 units, my wall texture doesn't
fit, because all of the wall textures are 128 units large. I mean I see
the texture twice because my wall is 256 units high. And seriously, a
128units high room is a small one tbh.

I managed to stretch it a little (although I don't really understand
the texture application tool, the texture size jumps like hell as I
adjust the values) so that I have the entire texture on one wall. But
now it looks all stretched out and just plain ugly.

How do the experts solve this?

theres's a button in the texture app tool that stretches out the texture so it fits to the face, its called "fit".

Alright, that helped! Would you say it only looks bad in the editor
then? Also, I have a small other question, I don't want to spam the
main page so if anyone can reply to it in this thread, I'd be happy!

If you create a light source (I.e. a lamp), how do you do it? Is that a
brush or a model, and where are the textures for lamps, I just can't
find anything like that. Thx

There's nothing in the props_lights folder either..

edit again: there are lights/lamps textures, but they're like several
sides of one model/brush in one texture, and I don't really see how I
should apply them to my brush..

No you place either a light, a light_spot or a point_spotlight. There
are some texlights too (see the "white" textures) but too few TBH. The
lamp props are scattered in several folders. There are some
streetlights under city17, some neon-lights under lab and some ceiling
lamps and other neon lights under wasteland.

And regarding your first problem, you can also try chopping the wall
horizontally into sections and texture them individually. I don't
recommend this though.

you make a prop_static.

there is some light/lamp models in the c17 and wasteland folders, make
a light entity where you want the light to come from (under the
lamp, if the lamp is facing down).

Shut up :smile: :razz: .

Thanks for the kind replies all.

Something else: Is there some kind of overview of all the available
models and where I find them in the maps? Methinks they're hard to find
and the model browser makes my computer very ... very ... slow ...
takes about five seconds to switch map.

Have 512 Mb RAM though, I know it's not much but shouldn't it do the trick?

edit: while I'm at it: where are the props for doorhandles, I want to make my own very short door.

edit2: (i'm mapping as I ask) How do I turn decals because they start
looking familiar in my toilets :smile: And they're facing the wrong way.

I get that with my comp, don't think that there is much you can do for
it. Decals should be able to turn by going to it's properties and using
the radar type thing in the top corner, works for models etc aswell.

p.s. plz just one question per topic, will help the people who serch to find ansers easier.

try searching the forum for answers, you save time...at least you save our time x|

ok I'll start new topics for each, just didn't want to spam :smile:

And honestly I do search but sometimes don't find.

Yeah, the search function isn't flawless.
