Hi and thx in advance.

I have been having a problem ever since I started mapping.
If I for example want to make a door ( just as a wall no rotation or anything)
I make the block but when I apply the texture its like half the texture was applied
which keeps pissing me off!

Because sometimes half the window (texture) is applied and im like
What the hell.
To see a half of the window without the finishing frame.

anyway I also wanted to know if there is a way to kind rotate a texture?
cause that would help out so much.

hey i had the same proble. (click on your texture hold ctrl, push A the click on fit)

this happens because your textures are bigger / smaller then the brush you want to apply them to
for example you want to apply a door texture that is 256 X 128 px ( pixels) and the brush is only 128 X 64 Px large . so only a part of the full texture is applied

just select the brush with the texture and press Alt +Shift
in this window you can set a lot of things

first there is the button " fit " this compresses / stretches the texture to fit the selected brush-face
and then there is :
L ( left ) aligns the texture to the left side ( in normal size )
R ( right ) and so on ....
T ( top )
B ( bottom )
C ( center ) centers the texture ( in normal size )

and then there is scale ( you can scale down / up the texture manually )

and there is shift ( you can move the texture manually )

and finally there is rotation you can rotate the texture on the brush-face ..


EDIT :: Using "fit" in to many places will cause errors and will just fuck up a lot of things so be careful not to use it on very large brushes

I got another problem.

I made a map with dust textures and a skybox (default sky texture) around it.
After I finish compiling it and test it.
Everything sets of a glow, everything is so bright.
Is there a way to make it not so bright and have my dust textures
look normal and pleasing to the eye?

Could you show us a screenshot of this?

How?
the ''IMG''?
Had this for a long time so I avoided this and never made dust texture maps

You're not mapping in Source are you? If so that could be bloom.

Press PrintScreen on your keyboard(usually situated to the right of the F12-key), open up MSPaint, press Ctrl+V and the screenshot should be pasted into Paint, save as a jpg, upload to image-site and post link here.

Check your compile-log, you probably have a leak. If so, you need to seal it and re-compile.

SummerLIVE

2008 Apr 16 • 21

No I went through that before and thats not it no leak.

Post your full compile-log here and let us have a look at it.
(If you don't have a leak, then the only explanation left is that you aren't running RAD)

From your compile-log:

Yeah but I went though guides and stuff a long time ago and they said you do not need lights in a skybox.?.

Clearly they were wrong...

I would advise you to insert one light_environment in your map and re-compile. (The light_environment will make the SKY-texture emit light which would give the impression of out-door lightning.)

Thx for correcting me and my problem but I have another (not to do anything with lighting its something else ( new to me WTF ).
I play but then it kicks me from game says fatal error.

I also wanted rain so I added the expert fgd I think thats what its called and it did not work after I compiled it. So I went back and removed it and removed the rain entity in case something could go wrong.
