I made a shader for the ground long before you said this, didn't work.

Make sure the tags are referenced to in Guerilla correctly

Are you sure you did it right? Did u re-run bitmaps in tool after u made the shader?

oozygorilla, what is your last entry in debug.txt after sapien closes?

Did u delete the shader tag?

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:13 pm

Delete it form my shader folder? No. Why would I?

adumass · Post by **adumass** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:14 pm

well it says it cant find the file maybe you did?

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 8:21 pm

Well, I did. I also didn't have the shaders folder in the levels folder. It opens now. But the ground doesn't show up still. I have practice_ground.shader_environment in levels\shaders and levels\test\practice\shaders.

did u re-run tool bitmaps?

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 10:35 pm

Yes, I reran tool bitmaps.

adumass · Post by **adumass** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 2:02 pm

Does the material have the same name as the bitmap in 3dsmax? Maybe try doing the tool structure and bitmaps commands again... or maybe send me the bitmap in a .tif and the shader tag so i can test it and see what you did wrong.

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 2:55 pm

How about I send you the whole thing, data\levels\test\practice and tags\levels\test\practice Also, I'm using Gmax, if for some reason that it the problem.

adumass · Post by **adumass** » Mon Dec 04, 2006 3:09 pm

Ok send it ill try to find what you did wrong and help you fix it.

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 8:24 am

Well, I had to reinsall windows because of a virus thing so I've lost all my stuff for the map. If I have the same problem I'll PM you with a link to the stuff. Thanks for you help, for now.

Make sure when you apply the bitmap in gmax, to name the material the name of the bitmap and shader.

Also after you run radiosity, make sure to type, radiosity_save.
