Daz, you could always click on the "Flags" tab in the entity properties window. :)
Yes, Spawnflags Key Is Hidden
#138 posted by XaeroX on 2014/10/31 03:36:13
Never thought someone will need to edit them manually. :) Why not set a flag using a checkbox, as WarrenM suggests? JH accepts the checks even if they are not described in a FGD.
Hmm
#139 posted by DaZ on 2014/10/31 03:42:06
I could swear I tried that and it didn't work. I could be mistaken however. It's quite possible that 64 was an incorrect spawnflag as the mod documentation for Zerstoroer is possibly the worst document I have ever read :)
Anyway. JH is a really nice editor. I will definitely do a video for it when I get a free moment
#140 posted by XaeroX on 2014/10/31 09:00:34
To test whether it works, simply open an exported map file in a text editor. If the "spawnflags" keyvalue exists for your entity, and has a correct value, then it's not a JH problem. Otherwise, it might be a bug.

It should work. My mod uses a bunch of spawnflags and they all seem to work from within JH...
Textures Not Showing Correctly In Editor
#142 posted by damage_inc on 2014/11/04 18:24:44
I'm sorry if this has been posted but I didn't see this problem anywhere...
I installed "jackhammer_linux_11320_x64.run" on a Pinguy OS Distro which is based off of Ubuntu 12.04 located at "/home/dano/jackhammer". I ran jackhammer.sh and went to "tools>options" to set up the Quake game profile. The settings are all the correct locations for the .fgd, .pal file, quake101.wad file, game executable, directories etc etc.
Now, with all that if I load a map I simply get white brushes everywhere OR... if I delete the use of the .pal file(location in profile) I get some super low-res version, that's black and white, of the textures!!!!
Also on some maps I get the pink/black squares but I assume that's a texture in use that's not in my .wad file.
Even though I use Linux I'm basically an EX Windoze user with zero 1337 skills ;)
I have no graphics problem with any other game/program with my setup, nVidia gtx660 card.
Any idea's on how to solve this?
I dual boot with Win7, and JH works fine there, but I was hoping to one day find a non dual boot, native OS, editing solution.
Thanks.
Continued From Above.

Custom Palette
#144 posted by Preach on 2014/11/05 00:09:31
Is this the return of Quake Noir?
Wow
#145 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/05 14:17:44
Seems like a palette problem.
When palette file is not defined, JH uses an internal "black-and-white" palette.
Are you sure your pal file is correct?
You mean the same file does work under Win7, but does not under Linux?
Yes, Same .pal File Copied From Win7
#146 posted by damage_inc on 2014/11/05 15:52:49
At first I went to quaketastic and d'loaded the quake palette from there. But the file size difference between it and the JH supplied file was suspect. So that's when I booted up Win7 and installed JH under that OS. After seeing it function correctly I copied the .pal file from Win7 into my Linux install of JH. No difference :(
Anyway, just looking to see if there was a quick fix that you had come across. Not really a big deal if I'm the only one ;)
#147 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/05 18:32:34
And what if you specify the palette that comes with JH for Quake 1? Yes the colors can be incorrect, but are there any colors, or the default palette also fails to load and renders textures to solid white?
#148 posted by damage_inc on 2014/11/05 18:56:46
Yes, using the palette file supplied with JH renders the texture's to solid white. As shown in the first image in post #143.
#149 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/05 19:06:57
And what about models? Are they also white?
My Apologies
#150 posted by damage_inc on 2014/11/05 19:45:16
After extracting the models the test I see I had chose my "Game" directory as my "Base Game" directory, grrrrr....
Everything is fine now :) Sorry for the time waste.
Contact?

I'd like to contact the guys writing this editor but their website has defeated me. I don't speak Russian so the forums aren't useful to me.
Anyone have an email address or something I could use?
@WarrenM

Their Moddb page has a link to contact info, but I think you have to be a member to access it.

Neat ... does that come with a contact email address or something? :)
I sent a private message on ModDB but I have zero expectations of getting a response.

#156 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/28 22:13:34
if you must.
#157 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/11/28 22:23:00
FFS ... What's with the cloak and dagger?
Anyway, I have some time this xmas vacation to work on something. I think Jackhammer is VERY close to my ideal Quake editor but it's missing a few convenience features and has a few bugs to knock out first. They aren't huge and I'd be willing to contribute my time, for free, to work on the code.
If that's something you'd be willing to let me do, please shoot me an email.

Thanks!
I Never Thought It Would Be Hard To Establish Communication With Me
#158 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/29 01:18:36
1) Well, the fact is email communication is not convenient for me, I personally prefer forums. Why not post your suggestions right here? Most people do that..
But, if there is something you don't want to share with the community, you can easy find my email address out, just click the PayPal "donate" button at the website, the PayPal page will be opened, and you'll get the email demystified (large bold text at the top of the page). :)
Crash reports are sent to "support at hlfx dot ru" and you can mail to it also.
2) My apologizes for not publishing the email at the website, this is not a conspiracy, this will be fixed along with a new public release and website update.
3) And I probably did not comprehend you right at the point of "contributing time to work on the code". JH is currently not an open source project, albeit I do my best to take all the requests into consideration.
#159 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/11/29 02:11:58
"JH is currently not an open source project, albeit I do my best to take all the requests into consideration."
I know, otherwise I would just work on it. :)
I didn't use your forums because, well, I don't speak Russian. It didn't seem productive.
Anyway, I'm offering my time is all. I know making Jackhammer ideal for Quake editing isn't necessarily at the top of your priority list. It's more of a side effect of the work you're doing ... I was hoping to polish it up some, if possible, and take that work off of your plate.
If you're interested, let me know!
Thank You For The Suggestion
#160 posted by XaeroX on 2014/11/29 12:54:26
Actually I'm not interested in trading for "free time". Although I have not much I don't hurry up.
The second reason is quite straightforward. One project = one coder, that's my point. Until it is complete, released in open source, then forked, and then I personally won't care a bit.
But anyway, thanks for paying attention to the JH project. :)
#161 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/11/29 13:17:48
OK, thanks for the response.
