wierd problem

Post by Travis »

Well i was looking around a map already in the game, and i accidentaly moved a block and it messed up the textures, they all are really light and stuff now, i can't really explain it and also im not able to get a screenshot of it(not working for some reason). I can't really explain what it looks like, but its much ligher than usual and the textures dont really HAVE a texture any more, its more like a plain wall with colors on it now. Can someone please help me, this is really, really annoying.

Thanks

This happens to all maps when they're not in my_stuff, packages, just don't try to change anything or just copy it to there

f3/quick light.
Calculating shadows takes time. Change something and a lot of textures lose their shadow. quick light fixes that.
Also in console (another hidden magic): /fullbright 1
That turns shadows off, boring but consistent lighting while editing. "/fullbright 0" to get shadows back.
Would be nice to have that in the menues btw (or did i miss it?).

ok Thanks guys ill try it out and hirato, ive tried loads and loads of times reloading, it never changes + its does this with all the maps now =\ i guess ill try guguests and see if works

EDIT: ok so i tried what you said guguest, and that doens't change anything =\.

and when i also checked my_stuff/packages and there isn't anything in that folder except two folders(base and mymusic), i dont know if you meant if the map isn't in the base folder(all my custom maps saved are in there) or just the my_stuff/packages. did you?

yeah, all you're custom maps are in there because that strange lightning thing won't happen, copy the map to there, than It'll work

it didn't have the map files in packages/base, but it does in my_stuff/packages/base. I tried copying from my_stuff/packagse/base to packages/base and it still doesn't change anything
