Hello again. So, I'm entering a spawn room into the mini-contest, and I'm really excited about the way it turned out. Much more so than I was a week ago. I've only got a few things I need to fix before it's complete. And I'm going to need help:
1) Cubemaps: I have a couple props that display that weird purple cube texture. I've looked through the forums saying that I need cubemaps. I couldn't find how to build one. So, how do I build a cubemap? A redirection to a previously posted explanation would be fine. (note: I'm not the best with complex computer terminology, so the simpler the better).
2) Lighting: I have a light_environment in my map, but the shadows it cast are really blurry. I set the diffusion to 0, but that doesn't really help. How can I get crisp and well-defined shadows from a light_environment. Or do I need another type of light?
3) Screenshots: Once again, I searched, but my searching skills must be quite bad... when I'm in spectator mode, black stuff cuts off the top and bottom of the screen. And taking screenshots from 1st person view seems abit unprofessional. Or is there a way to not display your weapon?
Once again, your help is much appreciated. And come see my final entry for the contest. I'm really excited about it! (I know, it's just a spawn room, but I think I should get the most improved award. haha).
Merci.
