_rt_Camera broken?

UMTeleporter · 07-04-2009, 05:07 PM

(Since this has to due with the game itself, mapping & modding as well, not sure where to put this)

I was attempting to make a security camera of sorts via any means.

Either mapping or spawning via sourcemod using _rt_Camera: func_monitor or info_camera_link produce this error:

Error: render target texture not found - defaulting to _rt_Camera!
It spams the hell out of my console with that.

I'm pretty sure the entities and materials are setup right, done this before.

I would go with mapping forum just b/c the skilled people check that more often.

It works; we have an example map with a working camera.
It uses this texture on the monitor: dev/dev_tvmonitor1a
And the camera's renderTarget is set to _rt_Camera.

I think at one time we had it modded in to allow multiple cameras at once, but it might have been broken.

Where is the example map?

(If you're talking about test_rearview.bsp, I found it on these forums earlier. That doesn't work either)

It's in the private beta version. I don't have the source vmf, but I should be able to whp one up for you.

ff_cornfield also uses a camera/monitor, so I'm sure it works.

A working example is attached.

Ah, thank you, I needed to set renderTarget in point_camera (worked without this in other mods, I thought anyway.)
