The "Got a quick Mapping question? Ask us!" Thread

Colonel · September 2016

As per finlord's idea. Here is a thread for smaller, quick mapping related questions.

Quick mapping question - i have this error, what do you think it could be? - Post in this thread.
Larger mapping question - i have this map in progress, what do you think? - Create your own thread.

The us in ask us is you, and you, and you

Welcome to the pvkii mapping community, we're always around to help!

a.k.a. The Ask It Map It Thread
This is a nice idea. Being pinned will also help on getting a response faster than having its own thread.

If you are able to make this Forum fit for something like that, you ought to make it.

Other than that, it would be a disorder-through-order chaos where there are questions and answers everywhere but each feel too individualized.

Any idea why one part of this wall is invisible?

Uh... I'm probably not the best to try to answer this, but are any of those a displacement? The selection doesn't look like a displacement, but if it is, that would likely be why. There are far smarter mappers than me here so somebody else could probably give you a better answer. But it would probably be easier to tell if you could just copy that brush or whatever to a separate VMF in a test room and upload it so that could be checked out.

If they have to remain map brushes (as opposed to making them a model) then perhaps try and build the same shape with less brushes. Such as the big area in the middle could be one rather than several sections. Then have smaller squares on the outside to get the shape you're after.

Any idea how to fix this?

That's how it looks in Hammer.

I'm compiling with HDR and -final -both -StaticPropPolys -TextureShadows -staticproplighting in VRAD.

El Negro · February 2017

Do you people really have no solution at the problem Momo is having?

Gaz · February 2017

I'd try using an info_lighting somewhere more in the light, and getting the prop/model to reference it

For some reason it didn't work the past 5 times I tried it, now it did. Thanks!

How can I teleport the chest to the place where it respawned?

Right now the only way is to use teleport entities (trigger_teleport & info_teleport_destination). When 3.6 comes out you can use trigger_chestrespawn.

Thanks! Also, can you code more control for Booty mode for info_pvk entity? Be cool if mappers can control value of score to win.

and please add more inputs and outputs to weapon_chest. like a teleport to spawn if it not captured in %second_value%

Hello, so I have a problem and I can't an answer to it anywhere. So I am making a Booty map for PVKII, and I placed down 5 Chest; obviously for the game. When I go in-game to test out if the map is running smoothly, the chest has a tint of the missing texture skin. I can still see the chest, but it has a tint of the Missing Texture Skin. This also appears on the weapons of the characters on certain angles. I'm not sure what to do about it, and feedback would be amazing
(I'm talking about the weapon_chest entity. It also seems to be the same issue with the health, and armor entity. It also is affecting a handful of props as well.)

By missing texture do you mean the pinkish looking one? you might need to add a cubemap into your level so

Place an entity and type cubemap

then go ingame, bring up console and type in buildcubemaps
