Texture wads

by Rodney (OldRod) Burns · in Torque Game Engine · 08/12/2001 (3:29 pm) · 7 replies

Got Worldcraft installed. In the V12 setup doc for Worldcraft, it mentions using textures.wad from \v12\example\data\interiors\evil1\, but there are no *.wad files anywhere in the files I downloaded.

Is this file available somewhere else? Or can it be created?

You have to build it using buildWad. Check out the buildWad documentation.

I have just finished setting up v12 and it works fine. the only thing that I didnt manage to follow is when setting up worldcraft. At the point were you test you first level (the large square), it mentions something about passing through morian.exe, where I will be able to view the level. I cannot find any morian.exe, nor can I find anything mentioning setting it up.

any help to what ive missed!

Yeah, I ran into the same problem.

I go my wad created, and made a shape in Worldcraft. Then got an error that I was missing a .map file when I tried to run it.

Map2dif made a .map file, but I think the morian.exe problem was hitting me too.

Sorry about that...I only got halfway through the Worldcraft docs before we had to release. Morian.exe is just the old name for map2dif.exe.

Rodney,
Did you put $path\$file.$ext in the Parameters box for the CSG Program Cmd so that when you look at the command it reads $csg_exe $path\$file.$ext

Also...make sure that the Long Filenames checkbox is checked.

Hmmm... I may have missed that. I don't remember doing it any way. I'll check when I get home from work tonight :)

Thanks

I was wondering about that Morian.exe (:

Actually, mine compiles and launches fine, but the -dev -console launches to a prompt with % ... can't figure out if I'm supposed to type something??? if I remove -console, it launches the game like usual, no fly-by mode.

Any ideas what I need to do?

-console just loads up the console. The only way to test an interior right now is to drop it into a mission. Tribes 2 had some scripts to command line load an interior into a test environment, but they all got ripped out. A nice little script project if someone wants to do it :)
