Call of Duty 5: Explodable Crates

Gerry: /* Adding The Models To Your Map */

{{Note|This tutorial will explain '''How To Add Explodable Ammo Crates To Your Map'''}}

It will also give you an alternate method for adding Explodable Barrels to your map.

==What's Needed==
*The Explodable Item assets. Get it [http://www.filefront.com/17415788/explodable_items_mp.zip HERE]
Extract this file to your \Call of Duty - World at War folder.

==Contents==
The assets contain an explodable_items_mp.map file & 2 collision map files.

==Adding The Models To Your Map==
*In Radiant
Open the explodable_items_mp.map file.

The Ammo Crate & Barrel are pre filled so just copy & paste what you need into your map.

*In case you're not familiar with radiant, an easy way to place a model is by using the toolbar.

1st on the toolbar click "Force drop height to 0" so it's on.

[[Image:Radiant1.png]]

*Now for the models:

Select the model you'd like to place & position it above where you'd like it to be.

Set it's angle if required, Press N to bring up the Entity dialogue. Set it's angle at the bottom or type in the angle.

EXAMPLE
Key - angles
Value - 0 30 0

Click "Drop selected entities to the floor".

[[Image:Radiant2.png]]

Do this for all your explodable script models.

==Setting Up The Files==
We now need to add the required fields to our Zone & Soundalias files depending on what you've added.

Just copy & paste the following to the corresponding files.

*'''[[AMMO CRATE]]'''

ZONE FILE
xmodel,global_flammable_crate_jap_piece01_d

You don't need to call a script.

If you've used Ammo Crates make sure you include the reference to the null.wav file in your Soundalias file or you'll get warnings in game in console.

Compile the map & fastfiles and you should be right to go.

Call of Duty 5: Custom Water Textures

2010-10-21T11:50:43Z

Gerry: /* What's Needed */

[[Image:rgn_warning.png|right]]
{{Note|This tutorial will explain '''How To Make Your Own Custom Water Texture'''}}

Dynamic Water not covered.

==Pre-requisites==
*Experience with creating your own textures. [http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_5:_Custom_Textures]
*Knowledge of photoshop or similar if you'd like to get the water looking right.

==What's Needed==
*The water texture assets. [http://www.filefront.com/17415872/water.zip]
Extract this file to your \Call of Duty - World at War folder.

==Creating The Water Asset==
*Open Asset Manager.
Either create a new material or open the example GDT in the \source_data folder - custom_water.gdt

If you've created a new material choose water as the material type.
If you opened the example choose the water_editor_default material.

You'll now be presented with the following screen.

[[Image:Water1.png|900px]]

There are a few settings required but most of it is up to you on how you'd like the water to look & behave.

By choosing the water_river asset these are the settings required for a river I made in my current project.

[[Image:Water2.png|900px]]

As you can see: sort, surfaceType & some Special surface properties need to be checked for the texture to work properly.

You can choose the usage & locales as per how you'd like them presented to you in radiant.

==Making The Water==
Depending on what you're after & your map setting you'll need to play with the settings until you're happy with the result.

A few that may be of use:
* blendFunc - Blend (if you'd like to alpha blend the texture. It won't show alpha blended in the editor)
* Normal Map - The bump map you'd like the water to have. (use one of the TGA files included in the Water.zip file /images folder or your own.
No normal map will give a smooth surface to the water)
* Water Map -
Scroll - The default should yield a result like most in game water.
- All 0's is dead still water.
- Exaggerating X or Y will give the water more or less movement allowing you to create a stream, river, raindrops, etc.
Color - The water base color. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Feather - The fading of the edges. Seems to make the water less clearer.
Opacity - Water cloudiness
Roughness - The strength of the Normal Map
Refraction - The amount of refraction distortion. While looking through the water this seems to effect whatever is below it.
Sky Reflection Color - The average color of the sky in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Ground Reflection Color - The average color of the ground in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Sun Brightness & size - All 0's is no sun reflection in the water.
* Env Map - The reflection of the surrounding evironment.

==Coloring The Water==
*You'll need some screenshots of your map if you'd like to take the guess work out of the colors for your water.

If you'd like better accuracy with the colors remove the 2d stuff from your screen. In console type.
\devmap mp_yourmap
\cg_draw2d 0

You'll need a screenshot of just the sky, if there are clouds include them if you like. This is for the Sky Reflection Color.

Take another of the scenery close to your water, ground terrain, trees & cliffs etc. try not to get any sky in the shot. This is for the Ground Reflection Color.

Lastly think of where your water comes from & what is in it, if required take a screenshot of what you think. In the example water_river, I've used a dark brown soil in my map so I took a screenshot of the soil which I've used in creating the base color of the water.

*In Photoshop open the screenshots.

Under Filter \ Blur choose Average Blur. Do this for your screenshots.

In the info section take note of the RGB values for each blurred shot.

[[Image:Photoshop.png|900px]]

*Back in Asset Manager select the color you'd like to edit & choose define custom color.

[[Image:ColorPicker.png]]

Enter the corresponding RGB values from Photoshop & click ok. Do this for all the colors you'd like to change.

If the sky is too bright in the water try changing the Luminance value to a darker setting.

If you're happy with the settings create the texture & it'll be ready to go in radiant for you to use.

When compiling your map, the water texture gets included in the .FF files so it's not required in the .IWD file.

{{Note|This tutorial will explain '''How To Add Explodable Ammo Crates To Your Map'''}}

It will also give you an alternate method for adding Explodable Barrels to your map.

==What's Needed==
*The Explodable Item assets. [http://www.filefront.com/17415788/explodable_items_mp.zip]
Extract this file to your \Call of Duty - World at War folder.

==Contents==
The assets contain an explodable_items_mp.map file & 2 collision map files.

==Adding The Assets To Your Map==
*In Radiant
Open the explodable_items_mp.map file.

The Ammo Crate & Barrel are pre filled so just copy & paste what you need into your map.

*In case you're not familiar with radiant, an easy way to place a model is by using the toolbar.

1st set it's angle, Press N to bring up the Entity dialogue. Set it's angle at the bottom or type in the angle.

EXAMPLE
Key - angles
Value - 0 30 0

On the toolbar click "Force drop height to 0" so it's on.

Call of Duty 5: Custom Water Textures

2010-09-03T10:08:33Z

Gerry: /* Creating The Water Asset */

{{Note|This tutorial will explain '''How To Make Your Own Custom Water Texture'''}}

Dynamic Water not covered.

==Pre-requisites==
*Experience with creating your own textures. [http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_5:_Custom_Textures]
*Knowledge of photoshop or similar if you'd like to get the water looking right.

==What's Needed==
*The water texture assets. [http://www.users.on.net/~gdenatris/cod/files/water.zip]
Extract this file to your \Call of Duty - World at War folder.

==Creating The Water Asset==
*Open Asset Manager.
Either create a new material or open the example GDT in the \source_data folder - custom_water.gdt

If you've created a new material choose water as the material type.
If you opened the example choose the water_editor_default material.

You'll now be presented with the following screen.

[[Image:Water1.png|900px]]

There are a few settings required but most of it is up to you on how you'd like the water to look & behave.

By choosing the water_river asset these are the settings required for a river I made in my current project.

[[Image:Water2.png|900px]]

As you can see: sort, surfaceType & some Special surface properties need to be checked for the texture to work properly.

You can choose the usage & locales as per how you'd like them presented to you in radiant.

==Making The Water==
Depending on what you're after & your map setting you'll need to play with the settings until you're happy with the result.

A few that may be of use:
* blendFunc - Blend (if you'd like to alpha blend the texture. It won't show alpha blended in the editor)
* Normal Map - The bump map you'd like the water to have. (use one of the TGA files included in the Water.zip file /images folder or your own.
No normal map will give a smooth surface to the water)
* Water Map -
Scroll - The default should yield a result like most in game water.
- All 0's is dead still water.
- Exaggerating X or Y will give the water more or less movement allowing you to create a stream, river, raindrops, etc.
Color - The water base color. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Feather - The fading of the edges. Seems to make the water less clearer.
Opacity - Water cloudiness
Roughness - The strength of the Normal Map
Refraction - The amount of refraction distortion. While looking through the water this seems to effect whatever is below it.
Sky Reflection Color - The average color of the sky in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Ground Reflection Color - The average color of the ground in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Sun Brightness & size - All 0's is no sun reflection in the water.
* Env Map - The reflection of the surrounding evironment.

==Coloring The Water==
*You'll need some screenshots of your map if you'd like to take the guess work out of the colors for your water.

If you'd like better accuracy with the colors remove the 2d stuff from your screen. In console type.
\devmap mp_yourmap
\cg_draw2d 0

You'll need a screenshot of just the sky, if there are clouds include them if you like. This is for the Sky Reflection Color.

Take another of the scenery close to your water, ground terrain, trees & cliffs etc. try not to get any sky in the shot. This is for the Ground Reflection Color.

Lastly think of where your water comes from & what is in it, if required take a screenshot of what you think. In the example water_river, I've used a dark brown soil in my map so I took a screenshot of the soil which I've used in creating the base color of the water.

*In Photoshop open the screenshots.

Under Filter \ Blur choose Average Blur. Do this for your screenshots.

In the info section take note of the RGB values for each blurred shot.

[[Image:Photoshop.png|900px]]

*Back in Asset Manager select the color you'd like to edit & choose define custom color.

[[Image:ColorPicker.png]]

Enter the corresponding RGB values from Photoshop & click ok. Do this for all the colors you'd like to change.

If the sky is too bright in the water try changing the Luminance value to a darker setting.

If you're happy with the settings create the texture & it'll be ready to go in radiant for you to use.

When compiling your map, the water texture gets included in the .FF files so it's not required in the .IWD file.

==Making The Water==
Depending on what you're after & your map setting you'll need to play with the settings until you're happy with the result.

A few that may be of use:
* blendFunc - Blend (if you'd like to alpha blend the texture. It won't show alpha blended in the editor)
* Normal Map - The bump map you'd like the water to have. (use one of the TGA files included in the Water.zip file /images folder or your own.
No normal map will give a smooth surface to the water)
* Water Map -
Scroll - The default should yield a result like most in game water.
- All 0's is dead still water.
- Exaggerating X or Y will give the water more or less movement allowing you to create a stream, river, raindrops, etc.
Color - The water base color. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Feather - The fading of the edges. Seems to make the water less clearer.
Opacity - Water cloudiness
Roughness - The strength of the Normal Map
Refraction - The amount of refraction distortion. While looking through the water this seems to effect whatever is below it.
Sky Reflection Color - The average color of the sky in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Ground Reflection Color - The average color of the ground in the water. (see the Coloring The Water section)
Sun Brightness & size - All 0's is no sun reflection in the water.
* Env Map - The reflection of the surrounding evironment.

==Coloring The Water==
*You'll need some screenshots of your map if you'd like to take the guess work out of the colors for your water.

If you'd like better accuracy with the colors remove the 2d stuff from your screen. In console type.
\devmap mp_yourmap
\cg_draw2d 0

You'll need a screenshot of just the sky, if there are clouds include them if you like. This is for the Sky Reflection Color.

Take another of the scenery close to your water, ground terrain, trees & cliffs etc. try not to get any sky in the shot. This is for the Ground Reflection Color.

Lastly think of where your water comes from & what is in it, if required take a screenshot of what you think. In the example water_river, I've used a dark brown soil in my map so I took a screenshot of the soil which I've used in creating the base color of the water.

*In Photoshop open the screenshots.

Under Filters \ Blur choose Average Blur. Do this for your screenshots.

In the info section take note of the RGB values for each shot.

[[Image:Photoshop.png|900px]]

*Back in Asset Manager select the color you'd like to edit & choose define custom color.

[[Image:Color.png]]

Enter the corresponding RGB values from Photoshop & click ok. Do this for all the colors you'd like to change.

If the sky is too bright in the water try changing the Luminance value to a darker setting.

If you're happy with the settings create the texture & it'll be ready to go in radiant for you to use.

When compiling your map, the water texture gets included in the .FF files so it's not required in the .IWD file.

Gerry: /* Coloring The Water */

{{Note|This tutorial will explain '''How To Make Your Own Custom Water Texture'''}}

Dynamic Water not covered.

==Pre-requisites==
*Experience with creating your own textures. [http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_5:_Custom_Textures]
*Knowledge of photoshop or similar if you'd like to get the water looking right.

==What's Needed==
*The water texture assets. [[File:Water.zip]]
Extract this file to your \Call of Duty - World at War folder.

==Creating The Water Asset==
*Open Asset Manager.
Either create a new material or open the example GDT in the \source_data folder - custom_water.gdt

If you've created a new material choose water as the material type.
If you opened the example choose the water_editor_default material.

You'll now be presented with the following screen.

[[Image:Water1.png|900px]]

There are a few settings required but most of it is up to you on how you'd like the water to look & behave.

By choosing the water_river asset these are the settings required for a river I made in my current project.
