A few things

Im somewhat new to SB and im trying to figure things out still. First of all, does anyone know where i can find other hudguns or characters to use in SB? or if anything, does anyone know how to create them so i can do it myself? Second, can someone help me with how to use the blendmap? I cant quite figure it out...

/blendpaintmode 0~6

its all in the docs

but you have to set textures before in your mapconfig (packages/base/yourmap.cfg)

eg:
texture 0 "dg/trail.jpg"
texture 0 "dg/floor_grass3&soil.jpg"
texlayer -1

then you can do blending from grass on the mud texture.

and youre in the wrong topic
youre supposed to post your questions here

must also bind keys, default are wrong and buggy (at least for me)

like :

/editbind "KP1" [paintblendmap]

/editbind "KP2" [nextblendbrush]

/editbind "KP3" [rotateblendbrush]

/editbind "KP4" [clearblendmapsel]

include it in autoexec.cfg
/!\ delete / (slashes) first /!\

So, press 1 of keypad to paint, 2 to change blend brush, 3 to rotate the blend brush, and finally 4 of keypad to delete the blendmap in selected area.

alph = "a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z KP1 KP2 KP3 KP4 KP4 KP5 KP6" listbinds = [ loop a (listlen $alph) [ echo (concatword "^f3" $a ": " (getbind (at $alph $a) ) ) ] ]

same possible with geteditbind

to anyone, can i ask 3 things (this i already number 1)?

how do i get a shiny texture by using setshaderparam "specscale"? (it wont get combined with the origin of the texture if i use them)

when i tried out combining texture layers and adding an own texturepallet on a map, the textures when glitchy after i loaded the map "hallo". now everytime i load hallo, i get the same glitchy textures.

when i do /exec data/default_map_setting.cfg, i get a bit better textures, but not the right ones.
if i try /exec packages/base/hallo.cfg, no succes.
copying and pasting default_map_settings.cfg or hallo.cfg from another edition (like ctf edition) isnt working either...

how can i get the right textures back from hallo?
another very weird thing: the textures of "capture_night" are screwed to because of that.

p.s. no, im not in the mood to reinstall trooper edition again, there are far to much maps and folders that ive added into the old one.

i truly have no idea what you've done to have screwed up so badly as you describe. But i know that in the 3 years i've been playing this game, i've managed to keep and transfer all the shit i have gathered from one install to the other. If i did all the necessary changes and transfers in 2 hours, i'm sure you can do even better if you know what you've added to sauer.

sigh k,

can you plz give me some small lesson about texturereset, setshader, setshaderparam (or at least a good doc, lost my links to those -.-).

p.s. np if people call me from now on: texturefail :P.

RaZgRiZ | 2009-12-30 23:45

well, when using texturereset, you have to specify the textures to be used. that means executing the package.cfg of various texture packs, or copy whatever you need from the package.cfg files straight to your map cfg

setting a shader is not something really hard.
this is the link to the doc containing the info you need.
and here is an example of a texture, which is rotated, scaled, and specifies glow color.

setshader bumpspecmapparallaxglowworld

setshaderparam "glowcolor" 1 0.9 0.8
texture 0 gibbie/teletop_d.jpg
texture n gibbie/teletop_local.jpg
texture s gibbie/teletop_s.jpg
texture g gibbie/teletop_add.jpg
texture z gibbie/teletop_h.jpg
texscale 0.25

setshader bumpspecmapparallaxworld
texture 0 gibbie/base38_d.jpg
texture n gibbie/base38_local.jpg
texture s gibbie/base38_s.jpg
texture z gibbie/base38_h.jpg
texrotate 1

texture 0 gibbie/base23_d.jpg
texture n gibbie/base23_local.jpg
texture s gibbie/base23_s.jpg
texture z gibbie/base23_h.jpg
texoffset 128 0

As you can see, glowcolour is pretty easy to setup. the 3 values are RGB from 0 to 1, and can use bigger values, although not advised.
Whenever you have to switch to textures that use different shader setting, remember to do so like in the example. If no shader is specified for the base38 texture, then it would use the glowmap of the previous texture, something not wanted ;)

texrotate is explained in the dock. you can do multiple rotations.
texscale is self explanatory. 1 is the default size, anything below is smaller and anything over is bigger.
texoffset is calculated in pixels. use the properties of the files to see the size, and then specify the value in X Y at the command.

i don't really know about the rest, neither i have experimented.

aha, now when i asked you yesterday what you did before this problem was there you said you did nothing, but well..

you said you tried to get specscale tex.. on default cfgs? like the default map cfgs.. or. the package cfgs like philipk/package.cfg
im sure its about the cfg and not about sauer itself.
if you would tell us what you changed and whats the exact error we could help you >.<

nvm about the rest of the comment before this one. i already found out what i did wrong:
when i was expermenting with adding textures in a cfg, i added at dg folder, the "trail" textures to its package.cfg.
because of that, the texture pallet was getting messed up and i was getting the wrong textures at hallo and capture_night...
so fixed now...

ps. the value of "texturefail" still counts :P.
