Hi,
Can someone tell me, how I can make a terrain with more than one texture?
I want to make a map for jka like this for UT 2003 --> http://www.jedi-knight2.de/forum/attachment.php?postid=221457) , and there are two textures one the terrain.

if you look in the gtkradiant folder, you'll find a tutorial explaining how to do terrains like this one.

it's a little outdated though. you'll probably want you terrain lightmapped, which wasn't a feature before q3map2. So you change the metashader. Go here http://www.shaderlab.com/q3map2/manual/notes/wabbit.htm) for the new metashader example to get lightmapping.

hmm... it doesn't work:( and looks like this.

In the logging-file is also written "WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/eigene/baseterrain"

What have I done wrong?:confused:

Did you add the .shader file to shaderlist.txt?
 way

yes
(before I did that, in the logging-File was written "couldn't find textures/common/terrain")

add this to the end of your shader:

textures/common/terrain
{
q3map_terrain
surfaceparm nodraw
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nomarks
}

then recompile... and there is no common/terrain texture, that doesnt make a difference (as far as i know)

Have you got the latest GTKRadiant? More importantly is have you got the latest Q3Map2?

If you get the latest GTK it should create textures/system/terrain which is what Q3Map2 uses for JA terrain.

http://www.shaderlab.com/) - get Q3Map2 2.5.10

I've got the .12-Radiant....and im compiling with Q3Map2Build eh I've got the newest version of q3map2: 2.5.10

Looks like you're missing a bracket at the beginning and at the end of the shader file.

Since when are shader files encompassed in brackets... :confused:

@GothicX:
Are you sure? In the Tutorial aren't brackets too.


hmm... how must I compile to get this Terrain?

Naw, you don't need brackets at the start and end of a .shader file.

Now I know what I did wrong!

I haven't export the EasyGen-Terrain with the "TEmplates: q3map2"

Now the Terrain works:D

thx 4 the suggestions
