Nstr2 decal problem?

Jedisar

Whenever I try to play a map I made for NSTR2, it can't load the decals..is this a problem with NSTR2?

hmm... do you have the decals.wad in the right folder? (although i'm not quite sure what it is for ns... i think it's just the main nstr directory, but it might be in the maps folder... i dunno <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> )

Never in the maps folder.....but does NS even have it's own decals.wad yet? Does it just use a copy of HL's? Or does it pull from the /valve/decals.wad file?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I can't get the decals, the NS Decals, Like the doors or the signs saying "Join Aliens" to work when I go to test them.

I believe those are in the textures. The ns.wad.

Jedisar

so..anyone have any idea why it won't load decals when I go to test the map?

Jedisar, if you've just started mapping, you should start by making a HLDM map, instead of jumping right to NS.

And after that you could always practise with SvenCoop levels... <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

I've experienced problems with decals not showing up in certain video modes when I played HL and CS a while back....are you using Direct3d, or perhaps don't have the latest drivers for your card?

As far as I know, if you can't see the decals because the decals.wad isn't there, you wouldnt be able to play the map at all; HL basically dumps you out of a map if it's missing a required .wad file. So I'm guessing it's not that.

I get this Message:

Cannot Find Decal JoinAliensb
Restarting level


something along those lines..tried to take a screen shot, but the key and the hotkey didn't work

Still no answer? <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo--> Flayra, help me.
