Black Ops 3 Mod Tools - Building a Room

[@DannyCrewPlays]

Thank you for this i've just started using the mod tools to create my own house map and this is so helpful.

[@UnRealisticHope]

in regard to the custom textures, i've had them downloaded but can't seem to get them to be seen by radiant ... Do i have to add them to the texture asset folder in Bo3's core files or do i need to do something else for them to show up in radiant ?

[@Program115]

There should be an option in APE for adding it into Radiant when editing the gdt

[@UnRealisticHope]

Now I have a whole new problem , textures I had used prior randomly decided to disappear and won’t open in APE , they all just show up as blue boxes… what did I do wrong / how should I go about fixing whatever it was I did that made them disappear

[@Program115]

@UnRealisticHope I can't say what you may have done wrong as I've never had the issue you're having just from adding it into Radiant but it may be worth restarting the tools as this often sorts the issue with APE not opening. Beware this may bring other issues to light (such as conflicts), but you’ll need to close/open the tools eventually anyway. I suspect you have conflicts between gdts you're just not aware of. I'll help where I can, but this is a very individual thing. Did you get the textures/gdt from a well known source?

[@iExotc]

How do you have the extra textures? I downloaded the extra dlc but it seems like I don't have all the wood textures that you have. Just curious because your textures are clean.

[@Program115]

I've had community made packs for a while. Have a browse through forum/wiki sites like devraw.net and see what looks good for you.

@@Program115 thanks so much, you're deff a big help for the custom zombies community.

What is 1 unit in radiant in centimetres or inches?

[@erikpalerik9359]

When I delete everything on the there is a small line where the silver ball was that moves around when I move. How do I remove it?

[@Program115]

When you delete all your brushes, and the reflection probe (silver ball?), you're left with a line? Go into Entity List and see whats been left behind.

[@Cre1mem1]

When you're in top view, you create an entire wall, in mine, I create a very flat surface. Is that going to be a problem later on?

[@Program115]

You can create what ever you want really, it all depends on what you're aiming for (I just did a room for an example). If you want to make it taller/wider then just change the view and drag the brush. A typical room for me is 128 units high minimum. You'll be constantly switching views (top/side) to get the correct size.

@@Program115 Ah okay! I just got into the map-making community. I'm starting out small of course. I'm on the compiling episode currently. These tutorials are really nice, thank you!

[@Program115]

@@Cre1mem1 Glad they're useful to you! It's all about learning the core skills/learning from your mistakes then you can go wild. If you need any help, either comment on a video or DM me on twitter (link in the description) as I don't use KZbin DMs. Thanks for your support!

[@ethan_59]

For some reason when I select something it does not show the red only a x y z box. any help

[@Program115]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I think you're selecting the whole brush and not a single side?

[@ethan_59]

@@Program115 when I shift click a brush usually the brush would have a red tint when selected but instead it's normal and can only see a box with arrows to move it around

[@Program115]

@@ethan_59 So you're still able to do what you need, just the colours have changed? If so, you've pressed a button by accident and it's affecting how meshes etc are shown. I don't know that button it is specifically but mess around with the view options etc in the top menu bar. Try pressing 'J' when you have a brush selected and see if that helps. If not, press it again to go back

[@ethan_59]

@@Program115 yeah, everything is fine it's just I can't specifically see what I've selected which is annoying

[@Program115]

@@ethan_59 I think it may be J you have accidently hit. Just press it again to toggle it off.

[@novemberinjuly]

[@Program115]

You don't have your starting zone correctly setup. I have a video on it.

[@novemberinjuly]

@@Program115 my goat! the issue was the zone name wasnt set up correctly. thanks for your help. do you make maps by any chance?

[@Program115]

@@novemberinjuly yeah, I've made a few. Most recent one was Extraction.
