info_overlay indicator strips
hi guys. Having a little trouble with the indicator strips. May just be trouble with the overlays themselves. I don't really know.
I place the overlays then choose the material and the brush faces and a few different things seem to happen: Sometimes it'll apply the texture but be stretched funny. Sometimes it wont apply it at all no matter where i put the overlay. Sometimes I just need to move it around to get it to appear. and they always seem to be too wide or distorted, and I can't seem to get them looking right. Any ideas (or solutions if this has already been asked)? Thanks.
make sure texture lock is off when you strech them out, because with it on it changes the size of the overlay instead of just tiling it
Also it really helps to select the material for the strip before creating the overlay.
Thanks I saw that on the wiki the other day and just tryed it out. works good but still having the trouble with getting them to initially appear. Forgot to mention before but when i put them in and they don"t appear, If i save and exit then load it again they are usually there. Strange
Tryed that but I still need to select the material when I place the overlay
are you placing them with the entities tool...?
yeah... is there something wrong with that?
use the overlay tool...
use the overlay tool...
HA HA! wow.. way to go! I can't believe I did that.
Suppose thats what I get for not having used hammer in over a year and a half. thanks a lot man. Made me feel like a moron but I guess I deserved it. Guess I'll get back to mapping then.
