Custom Map Makers

Well, the only thing I did these days was indeed only to put in some models and a few shaders. Maybe I did something else after the last compile half a year ago but I don't remember. Anyway, I found something in the shader file. Look at the last two lines. Is it what you meant that could affect othe...

Okay, compile took a bit longer, result: the same error. I looked in the console and found this error, it was in about 1000 lines: WARNING: generate permanent shader - MAX_SHADER hit There was also this error: Warning! <default> is not a compatible MD5 shader - material pair using default MD5 materi...

No, there are only .ase and .md3 models in the map (about 100, most of them with a shader, but that's not the point?). I tested the models I added the last few days in a separate map and there is no error. Maybe an interesting fact: in 4.1.1, the shaders for some textures are not loaded (alpha chann...

There are only two 3rd party maps but they have been there for over a year and I never had any problems caused by them. I'll remove them for the next compile to be sure that this is not the problem.
Damn, this engine/editor makes me cry.

No, _lightmapscale is default and there are 37 textures including diffuse, normal and heigh maps. About 20 textures are in the zpak000_assets folder (I know, you shouldn't do this anymore and before I release the map, I'll change it). I googled the error and the only result led me to this post: m Do...

The largest textures have a size of 1024x1024px but there is a model with a diffuse texture with 2048x512px. Is it too much?

No, I have never cared about such a .pk3. The next thing I will try is to remove the models I added a few days ago (they had all 1024x1024/2048x512/256x1024 textures) and see if these models are a problem in general. If no, then I know it's the size of the texture or their shaders. I'll start compil...

You are becoming a really good texture artist, Rayne! Are you interested in a job in the industry or are you doing it just for fun? As for the texture: the center is in contrast to the area left and right to it too sharp or rather the these areas look too "washed out", too flat. Otherwise:...

Yes, and even on symbols such as the medic kit sign in the minimap or the ammo clip (look at the screenshots in my first post) or even the smoke of the power slide.

I meant the middle of a tile. But that was just my impression, leave it, it's not important.
