Weirdness texturing

[DaveC]

when I import the .map which i created in Valve Hammer editor and try to texture it using RF Edit Pro it looks all weird like this. Why?

[AndyCR]

well, for one thing, importing maps from valve hammer editor is illegal.

[DaveC]

um.... you are joking right? Valve hammer Editor is a program.. like "World Craft" or whatever it usto be called. It's a map maker.. I didn't import already created maps.. I impored a ".MAP" file which I created.

[DaveC]

Nevermind I figured it out.

[AndyCR]

yes, i know. from the license:

License.

1.1 License Grant. Valve hereby grants Licensee a nonexclusive, royalty-free, terminable, worldwide, nontransferable license to:

(a) use VHE solely to develop New Levels for Half-Life and other compatible Valve products;

i dont think version 3.3 has this part, you might want to check that out.

Yeah, i use worldcraft too, yes it is Illegal, but so is downloading Mp3's and im sure most of the users on this website do that too,

i find it hard pressed for some one to distinguish a Valve.map from a RF.map,

and besides if you import a map and export it from RFeditpro, wouldn't that be a an Rfeditpro map as it was exported via Rfeditpro.....

Im not trying to promote illegal activity but i think Worldcraft is a good alternative because RFeditpro has no Vertex edting capabilities

[DaveC]

on another note, does anyone know how to get the .bmp textures I make to show up in RF Edit Pro?

[AndyCR]

its not about not being traceable, its about not doing illegal things... sigh...

why not just use 3.3? basiucally the same thing, and im 99.9% sure it dosent have that license.

open rfpack.exe and drag your bmps into it, then save in media\levels,choose the txl in project->level options in rfeditpro.

Can you please tell how you got it worknig correctly ? I'm facing the exact problem of the textures going all weird[weird texture scale figures]....

[Spyrewolf]

when importing from WC you have to select all the faces of the brushes you import and hit the pgdn button

this brings up the faceproperties dialog box,

this is the tricky part, the texture sizes,offsets, and rotation will have weird values like 2.036364fg7 ect...

DO NOT! and i repeat DO NOT! try enter numbers this will send RFeditpro into and endless loop about not entering a correct value!

instead hit the down button next to the value this will give you about 2 errors of entering incorrect values, ignore this and click on the next box i.e click on offsets, then scale or whatever this will give you the correct values without the endless loop of error messages.

hopefully this will help, it is long winded but you end up with cool maps.

why not just use 3.3? basiucally the same thing, and im 99.9% sure it dosent have that license.

Well Sweet, that's the only version i got so i guess im in the clear then Yay-yuh!

[sriram]

Spyrewolf : I didnt get what you meant by the "down button"...I've tried clicking the value sliders but I get into "the endless loop of error messages" every time....can you please post a screenshot of the part you are mentioning in RF ?

Thanks

I just 'select all' select all/faces in selected brushes,
then hit 'defaults' in the face menu.

[DaveC]

Yeah, Worldcraft/hammer have a diffrent texture size so you have to click Default :-p Stupid glitch.

[Baiame]

Ehh... I see no way of selecting all faces in World Editor.
