Title: "fix" texture on entity
Post by: Shawn on June 23, 2008, 11:00:24 pm

Hi together,

first of all i have to say that i really enjoyed playing your game. unfortunately it's over now i guess (no real progress in researching new technologies for a couple of ingame months..). However, I thought that i might support that awesome project. My programming knowledge is limited but i got some experience in HL1 mapping a LOOONG time ago ;)

Ok so I've read the mapping for dummies tutorial and things are clear so far. There's just one problem. When i copy an object from the prefab_office or prefab_misc and move it around on my map, the texture does kind of flow. hard to explain. I've attached 2 screenshots. I remeber that there was such a possibility in my HL1 mapping tool so was searching it in Radiant but coudln't find it :(

any ideas?

Thanks
Shawn

I assume you are using GTKRadiant.

select the face or brush with misaligned texture. hit to bring up surface inspector. mess with horizontal/vertical alignment until it looks right.

you can also enable the texture lock in the icon toolbar of gtkradiant.

well yes i know that possibility but takes a lot of time everytime you move the object.
