Hi, i have a problem in Hammer. Whatever blend texture i use in hammer, it is inverted as to how it looks ingame. I made a simple map to show you what i mean,

How it actually looks ingame

I know its not a major problem, because once i have got the dispacement looking just how i want it, i cant invert it. Its just bloody annoying :p

Anyone got any ideas as to why this is ?

Thanks

just click "invert alpha" in the displacement tab

Check out the VERC forums about this problem, I know there are a gazillion posts about it. Haven't experienced it yet...

Just switch "$basetexture" and "$basetexture2" around in the VMT then in the editor invert alpha

Or set "$detailprop" to "$detailprop2"

Also, which models are those your using? i havn't seen any lush foliage for the skybox . . .

They're not models, they're sprites that "appear" from certain textures. It's what's used for animated sprites on Flash or Donner. For some reason though, those need some major rescaling ;)

Cheers follks :D

Another quick Q for you. If i want to stop a player from going somewhere, like, i dont want them to be able to jump over a low fence, what would i use to stop them ?

I tried using a block with the nodraw texture, it worked in as much as stoping the player from passing, but also stopped anything behind it being drawn :s

use a clip texture or player clip texture.

its an invisible texture that blocks the player.

btw glad youre back to mapping Cladeh :l
Do you feel like reworking on that town map you were making ?

I prefer to use tools/playerclip as opposed to tools/clip, as often I simplify an area to make it easier for people to walk, or prevent players from going past a certain point, but I want things like grenades to continue to react as expected, not bounce off an invisible wall.

Unless, of course, I'm mistaken and grenades pass through clip as if it weren't there. I've never actually thought to check for some reason...

cheers fella's.

And hello Komi!! long time no see :)

Nah, i decided against redoing reprisal, that belongs back in 1.3b ...

Started a whole new project now :)
