1. That depends on the entity.
2. You're doing it wrong. You shouldn't fit the box to the texture, you should fit the texture to the box. First of all, make sure "Texture lock" is on/selected (Tools-->Texture lock). Then just select your box, bring up the 'texture application tool' and press the little "Fit"-button(under "Justify:") and the texture will be scaled to fit the box.
3. Replace what?

Sky: "Map" ---> "Map properties..." ---> "environment map" and write in the name of the sky. List of skies with pictures + more info: here

Thanks

How do you fix the texture of the door way the knobs are on the same side. I think there a technique of painting only one face, but Im not good at it and do not understand well how to fit it.
Where do I find Door texture and how do I had it to hammer without having trouble with the 8 WAD MAX stuff. Is there a way to know the WAD that are currently used on the map so I delete the wad used to lighter the weight of the final map?

How do you put objects that dont respawn ( like armor )?

How do you make the box in the SKY TUTORIAL, I miss some details.
with what tool, when drew what key do I hit to make it exist when done?

Thank you
I like mapping

I'm not sure I understand all your questions. In terms of wads, you can use the tool "wally" to merge many wads into one smaller wad (I would advise deleting the textures you're not using from the wad). Eh, I'll see if I can get any other answers for your questions, maybe.

1. In real world, when u open a door, the knob is usually placed throught it. What ever the ur indoor or outdoor, the knob is SUPOSED to be on the same side, on ur left or on ur right. I want my doors this way. With the knob on my left when im in and on the my left when im out.

2. There's a limit of what you can use on a map, the .BAT told me if over 8 it was risky to play the map. I just want to know, How many WAD are currently IN USE on my map. Maybe i didnt used any texture of 3 or 4 WAD and i could suppress from the lot for the current map. I use italy,aztec, nuke, office, dust, cstrike, hlbasics, and liquids.

3. I add an Entity that is weapon, it is an armor. when i step on it (so wear it) after few sec it respawn.

4. Read the SKY tutorial. First steps tell to DRAW a brush over tha map. how dyou DRAW IT. It explains to make the brush out of lines, ungroup it, then delete the floor. I just cant draw it...

5. Now im trying the do the vents metal breakable stuff, using the texture with the blue and I cant see through it.

6. Thank you for ur assits.

No, although it may depend on the door and how you are facing it, if you're outside and face the door and the knob is on the left side, when you're inside and facing the door the knob will be on the right side. Or did I misunderstand you?

If you want to apply a texture only to one face, bring up the 'texture application tool', with the 'texture application tool' still up, right-click on a brush-face in the 3D-window.



It tells you all the wad-files the map is using in the compile log, eg. "Using wad file..." a number of times. If you're using over 8 wad-files the compile log will warn you about it, "Warning: over 8 wads in use..." or something like that.



Not sure if I understand you, if you place out and armoury_entity you need to change in its properties what it is supposed to spawn.



Choose the block tool and "draw"(press and drag) it in one of the 2D-windows.

(Anyway, just ignore the "sky-making"-part of that tutorial, it sucks, the list of skies is the important stuff in that tutorial.)




Turn the part into func_breakable, in its settings set "Render Mode" to "Solid" and "FX Amount" to 255

Thats what I meant srry. Plus Thats wha I mean to do


Which one is it (the one with the target or the one with diff texture on it) ?? Plus Ive tried them both, i cant right click my box to applay a diff texture on it. If I left click it paste it almost randomly, not considering the shape to fit to. Ill add a question. When ill be able to do that. how do I reverse the texture so it will do the "real world door".

I'd like to know if there is a way to "scroll" the texture on the brush like in Duke nukem map editor, so i can decide EACH face will show what I want from the texture.

Thanks a lot for your help

With the texture application tool up (Shift+A), if you left-click on a brush-face in the 3D-view that face will get selected, then you can apply different texture-settings on that specific face.

"Shift" X/Y will shift the texture, maybe that's the "scrolling"-thing your looking for?

(To be honest, I don't really understand what you need help with, post some screenshots of your problems.)

Thank you for your assistance. How do I put a screenshot through a post. This is the only way I could show you the situation.

You must have done something wrong when you created it. Delete it and do it again.

OK I have no idea where to find this, I suggest you start Googling (as I have done for the last 10 minutes) and be prepared to cut through a lot of crap.
