UKCS Mega Game Servers

I've been in a UKCS server and saw that Dustbowl had custom textures and I was wondering how you do that. I've been trying to find out for a long time now and have decided to ask someone for help. So do you think you guys can help me?

What do you mean by custom textures?

Do you mean the posters that appear across the maps?

(And you don't have pyrovision on do you? :wink:

I am talking about the UKCS posters you see on random walls that advertise the UKCS website. I would like to know how to do something like that with the default maps like Dustbowl or Upward. But my trouble is that when I put the decompiled Valve maps into Hammer and I try to compile them, then my Hammer either crashes or it doesn't compile at all.

From what I've been told, the ukcs posters are inserted via the server, they aren't part of the map.

I use bspsource to decompile maps. Maybe your decompiled maps are crashing in hammer compile due to errors I don't know. Or the map itself is too complex for VIS to handle on full mode.

i think they are upladed as vtf files and there are certain locations in the maps that they can show.

Sorry that i missed this.

Yes, the poster system does not decompile the map. Otherwise your client would be downloading a new map each time the posters changed! Also, if it wasnt given a custom map name, it would render our posters on other servers!

It is an additional system that we have in place. We manually define where we want posters to appear and then image files are put on those placeholder co-ordinates.

Hope this answers your questions.
