like genuinely it's like i just modeled it and slapped it into tb

but nope it's just a bit of brush work

little stumped as to what I'm gonna do for this larger lobby area but I have some ideas

mainly just texture choice cuz there's SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM AAAUGH

Bro nice! This looks sick

alpine depot Jul 23, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

gentle lagoon Can you replace enemy models?

it's a super weird process but yeah, you have to convert your models into the .iqm file format for them to work, and a few cant get replaced currently but most enemies can (nyarlathotep and the turret are the ones you cant replace yet, i forget the third one though)

and then animations, if you give them any, have to match certain names that the sdk looks for

gentle lagoon Jul 23, 2022, 4:21 AM

quaint heath Jul 23, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

alpine depot it's a super weird process but yeah, you have to convert your models into the .i...

to add on to this (cc: @gentle lagoon )
You can export your work to .iqm using a Blender plugin, the format is decently supported since it's used in a bunch of quake source ports (iqm stands for inter-quake model)

Animations as Aqua mentioned have to use the expected names for them to work.

Usually these are "Walk" , "Idle", "Attack", "Pain", "Death" - if you open any of the DUSK enemy .iqm with a text editor you'll see a garbled mess, but it also shows the bone names (that you don't have to match) and the animation names

Nah

The ambush flag

Doesn't work
Doesn't work like you think it does even if it did

:<

#

Yeah, I used it in quake maps before

honest stag Jul 23, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

You can just use the scarecrow post with some wall toggle parenting + a breakable for the effect + a scarecrow teleporting in

#

And a trigger around the whole thing to make it acticate upon player approach

Also how do I rotate the forklift

crisp raven Jul 23, 2022, 11:20 PM

Try adding a property to it called angles then using the rotate tool

blissful lion Jul 24, 2022, 6:02 AM

#

does rotate work on angles?

#

i remember just making an angle property

half dust Jul 24, 2022, 10:16 AM

#

I can rotate it on the x axis with the angle property but not on y to get it standing up

blissful lion Jul 24, 2022, 10:20 AM

#

yeah

use angleS

#

edit the numbers

Oh there's an entity

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 2:44 PM

#

Sunlight is a beast that needs tackling

muted glacier Jul 25, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

Sunlight is nightmarish. If you have any kind of colored light on the map, get ready to suffer. You wanted to use sunlight to cover your map in moonlight? Cool. Those lanterns you made that give off a yellow glow? Too bad. Now theyre giving off a green tint. Dont even get me started on adding BOUNCE to sunlight

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Thays why you do subn first

#

Also ive neber had those kinds of issues

#

Always liked working with sunlight

Is there a way to make a breakable to can only be broken by explosives?

No

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:23 PM

#

Ok

#

#

When I make a light_environment I just get a little patch of light at its location

#

Am I doing something wrong?

crisp raven Jul 25, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

Im not sure light_enviroment works properly in Dusk

#

Try lifting it off the ground though

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

yea it doesnt

#

if you want a fill light, use normal lights with delay/wait adjusted
if you want sunlight, it's a whole different story

#

but i can guide you through if you want

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

I'd appreciate it

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

it works just like in quake - by emitting sunlight from any sky brushes
the best way imo is to have it in 2 components, first one being the actual sunlight, second being a fill sunlight that prevents your shadows from being fully pitch black

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

Like the light and _sunlight properties?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

yea, but _sun on light sources is a way better option imo

#

to go over the first one
the easiest way to do it imo is to have a light entity with a property _sun set to 1, and make it target an info_null
all the properties of your light entity will be what the sky brushes emit in the same direction as the sun is targeting the info_null

#

#

sry

#

but if you want your map to have both sunlight and avoid awful pitch black shadows, you also need _sunlight2 as a property on worldspawn

#

the value will determine it's intensity, and _sunlight2_color does exactly what you think it does

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

Cool

#

So the light originates from the light entity with _sun 1 property?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

nope, from the sky brushes

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

Is the angle set with _sun_mangle?

#

Ah, okay

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

you'd set the angle with that if you were to do it the hard and manual way of doing all the _sunlight bullshit on worldspawn

#

this is just much more handy and simple to visualise

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

Ah, so it can be done either way

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

yup

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

Cool, thanks

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

you do it once and u cant go back

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

You mean this technique?

#

It's just that good

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

well i used to spend a good hour or two with the manual option trying to set everything right

#

this is just a simple movement of a light entity to put an angle exactly how you want it to be without numbers

#

and the light entity is easy to edit

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

Ah, yeah. That does sound pretty nice

#

I noticed some of the transparent textures cut a hole in other brushes if they are touching them and as a result you can see through walls and shit

#

Just fixing it with a 1 unit gap for now

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

yea you need to make them a func but i forget what func

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

Oh that sounds better

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

imma look through, 1 moment

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

Cool

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

try func_detail_fence

#

but im not sure

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

That would make sense

#

Gonna try it out

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

but a 1-unit gap is like
easy go to yea

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

I'd rather avoid it if possible though

#

Fixed

#

Looks great

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

nice

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

Decals do cause so lighting issues on walls though

#

Maybe I can just stick a light right in front of it

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

what kind of issues?

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

Like it's casting a shadow

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

there was a way to make a func_ not cast shadows i THINK? but i need to dig around again

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

Illusory maybe?

#

Or detail

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

try func_detail_illusionary

#

that's a thing

#

havent used it once but who knows

#

or wait

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

Not func_detail_wall?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

i think adding a property _shadow set to 0 should work?

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

Oh

#

Is that a thing

#

But I also want it to not have collision I guess

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

i know you can set that to 1 on a func_detail_illusionary to re-enable shadows as it doesnt cast them by default

#

but it's all theory i never tried that

#

lots of options here

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

Huh

#

Lets try that

#

Yep, func_detail_illusionary works

#

Does door_rotating work?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 6:31 PM

#

Yes

#

a little fucky to use

#

the actual door needs to be placed at XYZ 0 0 0, have an "origin" property which is set to coordinates of the place which you want the door to rotate around and have a "distance" property that decides how far the door goes
You can also add a "speed" property for obvious thing

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 6:49 PM

#

Okay

#

How do I know if the door is exactly at 0 0 0?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

well it's not like, exactly at 0 0 0 but rather

#

the door will appear next to the "origin" point relative to how you place the door to xyz 0 0 0

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 6:50 PM

#

I see

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

so imagine xyz 0 0 0 as the pivot which is transferred to your origin point property

#

awful to use

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 6:51 PM

#

How do I find the coordinates to set the origin to?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

i just use a point entity and grab it's coordinates from the "origin" thing

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 6:52 PM

#

Ah, yeah

#

And a negative distance rotates in the opposite direction?

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

i think so, yea

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 6:53 PM

#

Cool

#

Negative values don't work

#

I wonder how to change direction

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

maybe set the speed to a negative?

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 7:05 PM

Nagative values do work

honest stag Jul 25, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

half dust Jul 25, 2022, 7:05 PM

#

Yeah, maybe speed

#

They work but not for changing direction

There's a workaround for monsters not walking through doors?

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 3:26 PM

#

yes, it's similar to what we did to that blue door

#

exactly like it actually

#

or red door, well whatever

half dust Aug 1, 2022, 3:27 PM

Castle hard
But I am getting used to the tools

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

Nice

#

You could unify some of those wall brushes for optimization

#

Bottom row of brushes for example

gentle lagoon Aug 1, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

Oh how do I do that?

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

Select them and hit ctrl+j

gentle lagoon Aug 1, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

Oh ty

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

Its a great tool overall
You can make easy rocks or natural terrain by placing a bunch of brushes in random spots and ctrl+j'ing them

gentle lagoon Aug 1, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

Sounds good

#

Everything is orange what happened

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 9:16 PM

#

You went out of soft map bounds
Remove them in the "Map" tab, they're at the bottom i think

#

They're there for reference for quake mappers cuz thats the quake map limit

gentle lagoon Aug 1, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

Oh

#

You mean the console at the bottom?

honest stag Aug 1, 2022, 9:18 PM

#

gonna upload an update fixing all of that + add a source .map file cuz i forgot

#

also going to add some more detail and lighting aroudn the place

#

also there's a doog bug i keep trying to fix

#

i got an idea tho

#

found a critial bug

#

shit, this didnt happen before

#

😧

#

found a fix for a couple bugs, update soon

#

also added some secrets

#

lit up the key areas too

#

BIG update basically

#

uploading the update

#

done

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 11:32 AM

#

I will check it out today

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 8:49 PM

#

How do I do coloured lights?

honest stag Aug 2, 2022, 8:50 PM

#

simply put a _color property on your light source, then click on it and there will be color picker options below

then, when your map is compiled, it'll create a .lit file next to your .bsp, you need to put that into your mod folder alongside the map itself

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 8:50 PM

#

Cool

#

Is there a property to make buttons shootable through walls?

honest stag Aug 2, 2022, 8:51 PM

#

well not really ,no

#

actually

#

you can put an invisible breakable brush that triggers what you need

#

or an invisible button

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 8:53 PM

#

Ah, I see

#

It's not essential but that is a good solution

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

I made some pretty significant updates to the Chapel of the Damned today

#

It's really close to being done

honest stag Aug 2, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

Eyyy nice

#

If you made gameplay changes i can re-record it

#

Otherwise i'll just enjoy it again lol

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

There are more enemies and other stuff yeah

honest stag Aug 2, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

half dust Aug 2, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

I will upload my play of Baptism by Blood and send it over later

#

crossbow doesnt work on breakables too

honest stag Aug 3, 2022, 5:57 AM

#

another big update with lots of changes coming

#

Big update, new screenshots and videos

worldly aspen Aug 6, 2022, 5:57 PM

#

Dusk HD texture progress: 153 textures finished, 200-ish to go
Average rate: roughly 11 to 15 textures per week

#

Update on object textures: the resolution of props and in-game objects is actually similar to the HD textures (pixel-per-world-space), so the need to make them look better is low-priority, and gets a big 'ol "eh it'll be fine" from me. If people really want it I'll reconsider it

honest stag Aug 6, 2022, 6:01 PM

#

awesome

#

wait, objects like, NEED separate tex?

#

i thought they were mostly re-used from other stuff

#

maybe my memory is fuzzy

worldly aspen Aug 6, 2022, 6:03 PM

#

in the SDK folder, object textures are separate, and each texture is unique. There are some world objects like trees and such that reuse the general textures.

honest stag Aug 6, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

yea yea that

#

also a bunch of objects re-use tex between each other

#

like the coin bag and the couch

#

so that's less work ig?

worldly aspen Aug 6, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

pretty much. I'll judge each thing on a case per case basis. Right now I'm focusing on the main texture folder and only worrying about things that look like they could use improvement. Surprisingly, some og textures look just fine to me, so I'm not worried about them

#

I will redo "objects/tornado.png" though. Soon

worldly aspen Aug 7, 2022, 4:08 AM

#

one stunning example

#

ah. exquisite.

muted glacier Aug 7, 2022, 12:13 PM

Good god. I didnt realize the base game had that many textures. Literal god among men for taking up the task.

#

how many skipfaces in the map i forgot

#

a lot? all by hand

#

had to squeeze every last bit out of it for the sweet seconds of compiling time reduced

#

i could do a bit more but it's not worth it, like 10 faces or so left

trim sable Aug 8, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 6:02 PM

#

you could try the built in compile for trenchbroom

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 6:05 PM

#

Isnt that just a shortcut for ericw's tools anyway and you need to specify them

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

yeah, but you can omit layers

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

i learned that by the point i got around to finishing this map, which was just recently when i got a new pc

#

and omitting layers wasnt needed anymore

#

i dont use layers and i'd have to go around layering things

crisp raven Aug 8, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

But layers are great

#

For the first 30 mins you remember to use them

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

i bet, but i just either 1) forget the use them at all or 2) make everything in 1 layer anyway because i forgot to switch them

#

i dont even use them for props

#

just put a huge brush and ctrl+t them

#

or select manually

#

suboptimal i know

muted glacier Aug 8, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

gritty forge

Sickening that this is one layer

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

juan layer...

#

i technically do have layers in the map

#

but i used them to rush a patch so i didnt have to copy complex props manually

muted glacier Aug 8, 2022, 7:06 PM

#

Ahhhh i see.

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

if you add them up, it'll count up toooo over 5000

muted glacier Aug 8, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

Less horriifying than the reality of 5k brushes on 1 layer.

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:07 PM

#

vast majority of them are small details and at once point it was over 6k (at an early stage no less) with really tiny shit but it completely killed performance

#

imma find an example i scrapped hold on

#

if i can

#

this kind of cursed shit

#

now the skull is fine

#

the shit on the right is absolutley not

#

yes this is brush pixel art

#

yes each pixel is a separate brush

#

and there were several of those in one spot

#

yeah...

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

you used func_detail, right vriska?

#

shit forgot i don't think it'd even matter that much

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

wouldnt matter really, i dont compile vis anyway

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 7:10 PM

#

dying no vis

#

god why why why

#

why not just use a fence texture

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

well actually sorry it didnt kill the map performance

#

it was fine

#

it did kill my compiling times

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

that's fucked

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

what about the lighting?

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:11 PM

#

a fence texture wouldnt cast a shadow

#

these would

gritty forge Aug 8, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

they do though?

honest stag Aug 8, 2022, 7:12 PM

#

in hindsidght they could have been optimised a lot and used after all, but it's too late now

#

that's news to me

#

i guess i never really used transparent tex too much

#

they look too flat anyway

#

actually i have some in the map, lemme check if they cast proper shadows

#

wow they do, not exactly noticable but nice

#

also i really love playing with saturation/brightness/contrast and i hope we get ways to change that for the player

#

#

above is adjusted, here's default

crimson patrol Aug 8, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

honest stag this kind of cursed shit

Id make a custom texture with that pattern and put one brush with it there instead of a morbillion little pixel brushes

#

How to make mods for dusk?

honest stag Aug 10, 2022, 7:33 PM

#

depends on the kind of mod you want to make

#

a custom level? a texture replacement? a model replacement?

#

anything else

oblique eagle Aug 10, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

Level

honest stag Aug 10, 2022, 7:34 PM

#

we're using a program called Trenchbroom, it's a level editor initially made for quake

#

we make the levels there, compile them, shove them into the game folder and boom you got a mod

#

check pins for guides and helpful stuff

Tons of games use BSP and most of them don't make massive changes to the format

So I just do a bit of analysis on each game to see what's different and then just support those extra features/changes in the loader

crisp raven Aug 12, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

It gives a preview of the lights?

#

For realz?

honest stag Aug 12, 2022, 9:02 PM

#

for realz
however it doesnt account for things like sunlight, surface lights, delay/wait etc etc

#

just your basic light entities with light/color levels changed

#

i'm wondering if this actually can be used as a light preview cuz importing a map takes SIGNIFICANTLY less time than compiling/booting it up

crisp raven Aug 12, 2022, 9:03 PM

#

yoooooo

honest stag Aug 12, 2022, 9:03 PM

crisp raven Aug 12, 2022, 9:04 PM

So you can make changes in godot and export the .map again to be used in TB?

honest stag Aug 12, 2022, 9:05 PM

#

now THAT i'm not sure about, i havent tried and i dont think it's doable

#

but i can definetly see tinkering with lights and using the same changes back in tb

alpine depot Aug 12, 2022, 9:06 PM

#

yeah i dont think qodot lets you do that, just an importer meant purely as a level editor type thing for godot if im reading the docs right

#

bit of a shame but at least you could definitely use it as a light preview in some capacity which is sick

#

the light values scale differently when converted to godot's light entities but with some tweaks you get roughly the same results

#

Hi, does anyone know which tool Dusk uses to import .map files into Unity?

honest stag Aug 19, 2022, 8:08 PM

#

.maps arent imported into unity by dusk

#

custom maps use .bsp files, which are made from the .maps

#

i dont know if there's such a tool myself, but you can definetly export a map as a .obj which can then by imported into unity i think
it wont be pretty though

sterile python Aug 19, 2022, 8:09 PM

#

Ohh i see

#

Much appreciated

honest stag Aug 19, 2022, 8:09 PM

#

godot howver has a tool for working directly with .map files if you're looking for that

sterile python Aug 19, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

Yeah, i was testing trenchbroom with godot and i really liked, so i was looking for a similar tool for Unity and since you can make dusk maps in that level editor, i was wondering how it worked

hot moon Aug 20, 2022, 3:27 PM

#

#

know i knew what i was doing wrong i forgot to unwrap the thing so i did a do over

#

honest stag Aug 20, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

can't you just... unwrap a model after you're done with it

#

why do it over again

#

and how does forgetting to uv-unwrap a model prevent you from... working on it?

vernal garnet Aug 20, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

isn't it as easy as going to the uv editor tab selecting the whole model and pressing U to unwrap the model

honest stag Aug 20, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

yea even if that somehow was a problem, just letting blender to auto-create a uv map for you (even if a messy one) would fix whatever problem you'd have

high magnet Aug 22, 2022, 8:22 AM

color theory achieved

alpine depot Aug 22, 2022, 8:22 AM

the top used to have more muted greens, swapped it for a neat strawberry-ish color instead

#

and i just realized it helps ease into the purples

#

and then into the blues

#

like aaaaaaaaagh im a genius

suffering from success

crisp raven Yo bro what light/wait/delay settings do you use on your lights?

i used the default values lol

#

i just messed around with where they're placed in the level

#

the water is a surface light tho

#

obviously I changed the light value a little here and there but I usually don't mess with wait and delay

Oh I see what you mean now, it was taken from an old map

I scrapped it due to various problems I had with it

YOooo GOG crystal texture finally being used

and no I didnt

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 7:59 PM

tight hedge is that thing even used in vanilla

It's only used in the GOG exclusive endless map

#

tight hedge Aug 23, 2022, 8:38 PM

#

crisp raven It's only used in the GOG exclusive endless map

didnt know that was a thing

#

is there video of it

#

O

#

I found

alpine depot Aug 23, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

god that is fucking mindblowing

#

i love the aesthetic

#

i love the use of fires in the magma pit

tight hedge Aug 23, 2022, 9:12 PM

#

I used to have the anomalies to make little lava splurts

#

but it tanks performance

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

I am having a bit of trouble

#

I made a new map and I forgot how to make it into a bsp so the map works

#

And it's not showing up in the game

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

The simplest way is just to drag the .map file into qbsp

#

That should output a .bsp version of your map file that you can then play

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

Alright and then I put the bsp where? I forgot

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

Should be something like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Dusk\SDK\mnt\local\YOUR MAP\maps

#

So YOUR MAP would be the mod folder

#

And the subfolder called maps is where the bsp goes

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

Oh alright

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:04 PM

#

The mod folder can be called whatever but the sub folder needs to be called maps

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

Thank you
Powerful jump pad and no lighting lol

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

Drag your .map over the light application right above qbsp to get lighting

#

would suggest getting the FGD in the pinned messages

#

If you do not already have it

#

It makes it easier to place entities

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:25 PM

#

Yeah I already have

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:28 PM

#

Noice

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

I made some changes to the map and it isn't applying
I put it in the qbsp

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:30 PM

#

Hmmm

#

What changes were made?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:31 PM

#

I put skybox brushes and then environment light, and some weapons in spawn

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:33 PM

#

The environment light doesn't work unfortunately 😓 Are you sure the sky brushes didnt spawn? They would be invisible but still be solid.

#

As for the weapons im not entirely sure

#

Could you show how they're placed in editor?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:35 PM

#

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

So when you spawn in there are none of the weapons in your inventory? I would try spacing them out instead of spawning them all very close to each other.

#

As for the skybrushes can you walk through them?

#

They should be solid but invisible

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:38 PM

#

Yeah I can walk through the skybox

#

I forgot to mention that I lowered the power of the jump pad

#

And that felt the same every time

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:39 PM

#

Hmm seems like it might not be compiling correctly?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

Maybe I could screenshot what I did for the settings

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

Have you tried deleting the bsp your playing rn and compiling another version?

#

and trying to play that one?

#

Cause it seems like you're making changes but then it isnt compiling them

#

So you're left with an old version of the map?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:41 PM

#

Yeah I am just left with a older version

#

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

I see

#

The output folder field doesnt work usually

#

Is there a bsp in your working folder?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

Lemme see

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:42 PM

#

The output folder only works like 50% of the time

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:44 PM

#

It's in, and I replaced the files again

#

So now just ctrl c in the gui?

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:45 PM

#

You can check inside your mod folder it'll say the date the bsp was modified

#

That way you can tell if it's being replaced by a new version or not

#

If not I would clear the output folder field and just drag the bsp in the working folder into your mod folder when you wanna play the latest version

#

That's how I do it

#

Idk if that makes sense???

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:47 PM

#

Uh kinda

#

This stuff is confusing

#

This mod folder?

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

Yep!

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

Aight I got the weapons

#

No lighting though

#

And I can't walk through the skybox, also the jump pad is good

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

Nice it works

#

No lighting probably because the enviroment light entity doesnt work

#

This is a diagram of how I usually transfer the files from my working folder into my directory

#

But yeah output folder not working is a classic issue with that program

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 10:52 PM

#

Oh

#

Alright I think I got the process down, I gotta update the working folder and mod folder and then it works

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:03 PM

#

Exactly

#

When it compiles the new version goes into the working folder

#

Then you just drag it over to the mod folder

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

For some reason lighting isn't working though

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

is there a .txt file called "light" in your working folder?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

Nope

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:05 PM

#

Hmmm

#

Is there a text file that's just the name of your map/bsp?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

Nope

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

Yeah the log file

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

oh

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:07 PM

#

It might tell you what's wrong

#

Oh my b it's not .txt it's .log 😳

#

Usually there's one just for the geometry and one for the light

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:08 PM

#

So what am I looking for?

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:10 PM

#

Does it say if there are any errors?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:10 PM

#

Lemme see

#

Also this

#

I saw a warning though

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:10 PM

#

What was the warning?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:11 PM

#

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:11 PM

#

Oh yeah dont worry about that

#

Did you place any light entities in the map? (not light_enviroment just normal light)

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

I put a lot

#

Also this

#

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:12 PM

#

That should be harmless too

#

What are the settings on the lights?

#

If it's just default grayed out 300 then try putting it in yourself

#

Default values are often 0 even if they say a number

#

So fun

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

crisp raven Default values are often 0 even if they say a number

Weird

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:14 PM

#

Yeah it's annoying

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

Whats this? kinda random

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

Of that's just a chart of the wait and delay properties

#

You can put them on lights

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:15 PM

#

Oh

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:16 PM

#

It's not essential though

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:19 PM

#

Clean.

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:21 PM

#

👌

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:25 PM

#

Ok well I know the map is updating but still not light which is weird

#

Also this isn't grayed out so

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:27 PM

#

It's not outputting a light.log?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:28 PM

#

Uhh idk

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

should be in the working folder if there is one

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:29 PM

#

It's there

#

Should I put it in the mod folder??

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:30 PM

#

Nah try reading it and seeing if it has any errors

#

The log files are just to be read

#

Can you post it in this channel?

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:31 PM

#

crisp raven Aug 23, 2022, 11:33 PM

#

Hmm everything looks normal

#

How high up are your lights? It could be they're too high to touch any of the brushes

#

Like they're too far

gentle lagoon Aug 23, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

Oh I'll move them to the ground then

#

Sad
Imma take a break for a bit

crisp raven Aug 24, 2022, 12:12 AM

#

Maybe you forgot to move the latest version from your working folder into your mod folder?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 12:15 AM

#

All of the date modified times are close together so idk

#

BSP in mod folder is 5:37
BSP in working is 5:58 because I put the file in there a little bit after mod folder

#

And I know it's updating cause I add something to make sure

crisp raven Aug 24, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

Seems to be compiling fine. Can you show me all the properties for your lights? Like all their settings in TrenchBroom?

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

Sup

#

Wuts happenning

#

@gentle lagoon ypur lights aren't working?

#

Send your map and i'll see what's wrong

#

.map specifically

#

Alright

#

@honest stag

📎 Gameplay.map

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:12 AM

Gimme a minute

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:13 AM

#

Ok

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:14 AM

#

lights shouldnt be forced into brushes like that btw, gotta raise them a little
i'll do that and compile

#

#

works on my end

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:17 AM

#

For me they weren't in the ground like that

#

They were just touching the ground

#

But idk why my lights aren't working

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

are you absolutely positive you're compiling the same version you're currently on

#

and not some outdated one

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

I can do it again right now

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:19 AM

#

yup try it

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

Hm

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

try placing a cube in the map and see if it updates

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

Alright

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

also do you have a palette file in place

#

shouldnt matter i think but still

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:26 AM

#

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

honest stag also do you have a palette file in place

That's the textures right?

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:27 AM

#

i mean the palette.lmp file in your mod folder

#

#

📎 palette.lmp

#

it shouldnt matter, but who knows

#

also you're using necro's gui, correct?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

Yeah I have that

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

honest stag also you're using necro's gui, correct?

Uhhh I don't know who that is

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

this?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

This

#

Yup

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

try also placing the dusk_transparent.wad into the same place where your palette file is

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:30 AM

#

Alright

#

Then compile again?

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:31 AM

#

nah

#

just boot up the map

#

it really shouldnt matter but worth a try

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:33 AM

#

Didn't work

#

Imma see if another one of my maps work

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:33 AM

#

so when u compile a map it should put out these files

#

in your working folder

#

can you send the .log file

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

I think I was forgetting the prt

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

it's not needed

#

dont worry about it

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

Oh

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

you know what how about i send you a map and you compile it

#

see if it has lights

#

tiny one

#

1 moment

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

Ok

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

📎 lighttesxt.map

#

no need to open it up in tb or anything just compile it as-is and launch

#

wait

#

it's missing player_info_Start

#

1 moment

#

📎 lighttesxt.map

#

there, use this one

#

you can put the .bsp in the same place where your current map is, no need to delete the old one

#

they'll both show up

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

Alright

#

I did something wrong

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:43 AM

#

It's not showing up

#

I put the bsp in working and mod folder

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:44 AM

#

is your .bsp in the same place as your other map .bsp?

#

as in, in your maps folder

#

the bsp doesnt need to be put in the working folder, the compiler should do that by itself when the map is done

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

I just had a mods folder no maps folder

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

how did your map even launch without that lol

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

I dunno but it worked

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

what is your output folder set to

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

id1/maps

crisp raven Aug 24, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

Output folder works?

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

also can you screenshot your mod folder and the maps folder

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:47 AM

#

yea there

#

just plop the .bsp in there

#

and the palette and the dusk_wad files shouldnt be there

#

they should be outside the maps folder

#

so inside of OurModHoldingFolder

#

but not in maps

#

see

#

like this

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

#

Oh ok

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

well there you go, now try your actual map

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:49 AM

#

Aight

#

Now it's a older version of my map Imma reupdate it

#

Imma try this a little more tomorrow

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:56 AM

#

it didnt work?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:57 AM

#

It's loading a older version without the block or light posts

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:57 AM

#

your mod folder setup has got to be a little messed up lol

#

needs a cleanup

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:57 AM

#

Yeah

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

it'd be easier for you to just disable your previous mod and make a new mod folder where everything is set up correctly

#

instead of us trying to figure out whre you misplaced your file

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

Alright I think I can set that up tomorrow

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

got it

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

You have a good day

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 2:58 AM

#

👍

honest stag Aug 24, 2022, 3:18 AM

#

can't walk through the gap but can ride through on a platform

#

dont ask the why the whole map is a door

crisp raven Aug 24, 2022, 4:03 AM

#

What does it all mean?

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 6:24 PM

#

I have some good news

tight hedge Aug 24, 2022, 6:38 PM

#

gentle lagoon Aug 24, 2022, 9:04 PM

#

That map is beautiful

tight hedge Aug 24, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

having so much fun playing with a sort of ancient greek/roman/dante inspired interpretation of hell and combining it with a very gritty 19th century industrial style

crisp raven Aug 24, 2022, 9:14 PM

#

gentle lagoon I have some good news

Nice it works

tight hedge Aug 24, 2022, 9:36 PM

tight hedge Aug 24, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

/ iron dawn / titan complex

crimson patrol Aug 24, 2022, 10:56 PM

#

All 3 of those go hard

raven badge Aug 24, 2022, 11:51 PM

#

where do i find the dusk models?
i found a steamcommunity post asking for fbx or stl files of dusk stuff and david oshry said to join this discord or look at the sdk when it releases (this was before the sdk released)

crisp raven Aug 25, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

The can access the models by opting into the SDK beta on Steam

#

It will give you access to all of the game's assets

raven badge Aug 25, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

yep ended up figuring that out

raven badge Aug 25, 2022, 2:08 AM

#

crap
screw me ig for not using an os that noesis works on

#

does anyone have an stl?

honest stag Aug 25, 2022, 2:52 AM

#

raven badge does anyone have an stl?

I can just send you the .blend files

#

Will that be suitable

#

I assume you'll export them from there easily

worldly aspen Aug 25, 2022, 6:02 AM

#

tight hedge

Damn. I mean DAMN my dude

tight hedge Aug 25, 2022, 11:01 AM

#

Whats noesis

#

Better SDK?

quaint heath Aug 25, 2022, 11:12 AM

#

model view and extraction tool

tight hedge Aug 25, 2022, 11:13 AM

#

O wait

#

is it the thing you use when making models for quake etc

#

I think I used it before

honest stag Aug 25, 2022, 11:18 AM

#

It's for many many formats

#

I've used it heavily for the FGD

#

Juggled .obj .iqm and .mdl around

#

Really cool thing but a little brokey sometimes

tight hedge Aug 25, 2022, 12:11 PM

#

honest stag Aug 25, 2022, 12:13 PM

#

My guy what the fuck

#

That will explode my pc

tight hedge Aug 25, 2022, 12:16 PM

#

#

pov all the lava textures emit red light

#

with _surface

#

I dont even use bounce lighting on the map

raven badge Aug 25, 2022, 6:21 PM

#

honest stag I assume you'll export them from there easily

honest stag Aug 25, 2022, 6:22 PM

#

siiick

ancient depot Aug 25, 2022, 6:40 PM

#

if you want @honest stag you can just post the models here and I'll pin it so you don't have to manually send it to people every time lol

honest stag Aug 25, 2022, 6:40 PM

#
