Write or fix the shader. Is it a common or custom one?

As I caan see, it looks like a simple texture for Radiant.

I got there "Your browser seems a bit outdated" (I use classic Opera 12.17). Can you zip it and place here?

Hi V1979, i had to split it into 2 Zip Files you need your qlmaps.pk3 too.

the elder.pk3 is extracted you have to make a new pk3 if needed.

Re: Importing Quake LIve Maps / Editing Quake Live Maps

In fact, it is simple enough. There is conflict between sfx.shader in elder.pk3 and common sfx.shader. As the old common sfx.shader in pak0.pk3 or qlmaps.pk3 doesn't contain the shader 'textures/sfx/fog_green' and at the same time it has priority over newer sfx.shader in elder.pk3 (as quake3 engine loads *.pk3 in alpha-numeric order), thus the engine searches 'textures/sfx/fog_green' in the old common sfx.shader and can't find it and place there a simple texture instead of the right shader.
As a quick solution you can rename sfx.shader in your elder.pk3 into, for example, sfx_elder.shader.

There are some editors for entities. As for me I'd convert the *.bsp into *.map, then remove the whole entity of the doors, and finally compile the map with the key -onlyents.

And what's about "other error with the ramps" ? What do you mean?

And one more thing: I have decided to stop mapping, so you'd better ask your questions there
