Weird texture problem.




The textures are from a texture pack for Fortress Forever. Anybody know why this is happening. (and this textbox bg color is the exact same color ad the text so I can not see what I am writting.

Did you build cube maps? (or rather have you placed cube maps yet?)

Yea, there's nothing wrong with that texture, it's just super reflective with bumpmapping. The reason that first pic shows the left wall as a lighter color is because that wall is reflecting the default skybox texture. So yea, place cubemaps, and type [color=cyan]buildcubemaps in the console and it should make the textures look more realistic in reflections and not appear as two different tones.[/color]

<span style="color: white;">Hey riven when you say "type <span style="color: cyan;">bulidcubemaps in the console", do you do that in the game while testing the map? And what exactly does it do? </span></span>

Red lights are optional.

Yes, you do it in-game. After you've loaded your map, you type 'buildcubemaps'. Then, you'll see several rectangular screenshots flash across the screen - that's when the game is rendering the map as seen from the cubemap positions. These images are then stored inside the map itself (the .bsp file), and are used for reflective surfaces the next time the map is run.

Last I checked you need to enter sv_cheats 1 before buildcubemaps or it won't write to the BSP, this may have changed though.

I doubt is has changed. sv_cheats 1 before typing buildcubemaps and then re-loading the map with "map mapname" or the cubemaps won't be stored in the BSP.

Why snark works.

Thanks. But the original question wasn't about "Buildcubemaps" it was a texture problem so Captain P you didnt need to make it a suggested answer. :cool:
