correct me if i'm wrong but shaders cant hurt people (well they don't in jk2 so unless something funky happened in JKA...) to make the lava hurt you, you need to make a brush and turn it into a trigger->hurt. Cover it in system/trigger and open up the entity window to modify the damage etc. But... that might not work seeing as its been ages since i have mapped for jka (jk2 rocks except for the lack of multiplayer scripting where JKA kicks rear end:P)


try RichDiesal's Tut and learn all bout triggers for damage, doors, trains whatever

There's open source stuff that can do ANYTHING, and most of it compiles quite nicely under Windows.

assuming you have the required libraries installed. ^^

The beta of gtkradiant 1.5 'supports' JKA. However it was just that, still a beta. There are some nice new features it incorporates, but at the expense of some previous features being buggy. So 1.4 is currently still the map editor to use. But I use both, cos I want those new features, and I am a bad person. :P

Oh, and I'm not aware of a free program for windows that can convert wma/mp3 to wav or vice versa. I use creative wave studio for such purposes, because it came with my sound card. And I am cheap. The output quality of that program is quite cheap too. Did I mention that I am a bad person? :D

To the best of my knowledge, 1.5 doesn't have the support files for JKA available yet. Stick to the final 1.4 for now. (1.4.4 I think it was)

Make sure you have Radiant pointing to the correct location where you installed your game, and make sure the stuff it drops into your install stays there.

The whole reason that this Forum is here is so that you can ask questions, man. Don't even worry about that. :)

And yes, if you're getting that happen then you deffinatly need to re-install Radiant, I'm using 1.4.0 atm (1.5 is bugged).

As for target_speakers, they can only play .wav files, not mp3's or wma's. Also, make sure you have "looped on" checked in the speaker's entity window (select the target_speaker, press N).

Hope this helps. :)

Hmmmmm. Why dont my target_speaker entities work?
and how do i convert wma. files to wav. files? I've tried typing 'wav.' on the end of the name of the filename, but it doesn't work. Also, as a matter of opinion, do i ask too many questions about editing? Actually, do i ask too many questions full stop? lol ty:confused:
