Sheet Texturing, help!

RJGexplode · 21st Sep 2003, 04:33 PM

i'm somewhat new to mapping, and on my second map, i tried adding a sheet, it worked ok, but when i came to texture it it wouldn't it remained blank, i tried adding, subtracting, insecting everything, starting again each time, i've looked on Wiki and found nothing, so i'm hopin all of you can help me, PLZ

did you rebuild the map? Happens to me in UED2, I add a sheet then it just dissapers for no reason. When I rebuild all is well! If not mabey by some chance you turned the surface setting to invisible.

invisible eh? sounds likely, how do i turn it off, if that doesn't work i'll restart from the beggining

also will anyone with a lot of patience please try out a n00b mappers first map? its here that one is my first map

lol is it just the cube. Keep at it though, like I did my first map was pretty much that. But start looking at other peoples maps, and get inspiriation by playing the ones in unreal tournament, base game flow and geomerty styles off from them. Took me awhile before I got any good.

On Another Note:

Don't be intersecting, deintersecting, and subtracting sheets, because thats just no good.

yeh just a cube, but an artistic firend told me 'the texture i had chosen made the blood more prominent' LOL

you still haven't told me how to turn invisibility off though

It's unlikely you've turned it invisible, invisible surfaces are only actually invisible when in Realtime Preview mode (the little joystick icon on the viewports) - otherwise they're visible like all other surfaces.

Right click a surface and select SurfaceProperties. The invisibility flag is in the options there
