1. How do we make a map darker
2. How do we add fog to a map

plz help me out on this one does it include scripting?

ok you need to radioosity or lightmap it. if you want to do it the easy way get a map that is set to miday or nightish. out it as your sky run the lightmap. then change the sky to the one you want.


my way of adding fog to a map is go to the structure bsp look in there

Couldn't read map file './toolbeta.map'

the animation 'first person ready' must be an overlay.

model animation compression saved 0 bytes

is this supposed to happen when you comply the animations? Help anyone?

first-person ready is supposed to be a JMA. JMOs are overlays that play on top of other animations, such as first-person moving, first-person ammunition, and first-person overlays (duh).

so did i do it right or no...

If you did it right you wouldn't have the error.....
Open up your ready animation, re-export it as a JMA instead of a JMO, and delete the JMO file from your animations directory.

He has it as a JMA. What disturbs me more is that he has first-person firing, instead of first-person fire-1.

Names of the animation file doesn't matter.

It does if you want it to play ingame... It may not for third person animations, but first person animations are based on the name of the animation. How else does the game distinguish between reload-full and reload-empty? Why can't we just put reload if we want to do the same reload animation for both?

welllll whats wrong with the ready....my question hasnt been answered

Does the model_animations tag not show up? The "ready should be a JMA" message is just a warning. Should play ingame.

Theoretically, when loaded into the program, it would mark which filenames you specified for what and work off of that.

Anyway, it said in the error that First Person Ready needs to be an overlay. Seeing as how it is a JMA and not a JMO, you should be re-exporting First Person Ready as a .JMO, I think.

The first person ready animation SHOULD be a JMA though, which is why his tool error is weird.

"Tool doesn't screw up, You do."

It may be unorthodox, but if tool says it needs to be a JMO, try it. If it's accepted, see if it works. If it works, it won't make sence, but it doesn't have to.

Tool does screw up. Yesterday, I spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out why it kept compiling JMA files when I had deleted them and / or moved them elsewhere. I had to reboot the command prompt before it would compile them correctly.

That was a quote, by the way, but from another thread.

Because I happen to read every single thread and remember every single quote.

a new problem ok i made my model animations right now when i put it into the animation graph of my gun this happens (when i comply the map)

wtf?!?!?!!?

The third person animations for the model don't match, which is perfectly fine, as third person weapon models don't need to animate.

what do i have to do to make the tag comply and work D:

Everything compiles fine in your debug. To change the FIRST person animations, you scroll down to where it asks for the first person animations.

in the model animation tag right

You're trying to reference the fp model animations tag. Why would you try to put that in another model animations tag? It goes in the weapon tag.
