Custom Map Makers

Thanks for the help, it worked great! I never knew about using smaller brushes as func_groups to achieve a higher res shadow map!

Hey everyone, I've been messing around with shaders and lighting and I'm trying to cast light onto a fence so the light projects the fence's shadow onto the wall. As of now I have only been able to achieve a rather ugly shadow casting, and the fence disappears when the player moves too far away from...

haha that was the problem, never checked what format I was compressing in thanks for the help!

Here's the directory of the pk3, seems to be right :S

I tested that, it didn't work

yeah I built the meta bsp first, I'm kinda thinking it possibly because it was exported from blender because I havent encountered this before.

that didn't work, thanks for the quick reply though!

I just build my map after exporting it from blender in the .map format, the map works fine in radiant, no errors and It appears to build fine, but after loading the map from the console in urt I get the error "Can't find maps/map_name.bsp". Does anyone have any ideas as to what causes this...

That is pretty cool! Ill give it another go with a less complicated model

Yeah I took a look at that, I have already edited:

*MATERIAL_NAME "models/shipping/mapobjects/c_shippingcontainer/textures/"

Does the model have to be in the same folder as the texture? it is located in the c_shippingcontainer/ folder.
