If you're not sure how far the compile process is going, just do one stage at a time - bsp 1st, then vis, then light. See if any throw up error messages and then post them here....  [Read More]

Are you using the portal_sky entity to create the skybox? If so, you've got to make sure that the box you have created for the portal sky is well off to one side and above the main area of the map or you'll see the box in the sky. Also are you usin...  [Read More]

I don't know whether it's a problem with my video card drivers, my game settings or my version of q3map2 (2.5.11) but if I caulk behind bevels I do tend to get some sparklies. I attribute this though to the auto LOD thing that the q3 engine has. If,...  [Read More]

Is the decal another stage in the rendering pass? Does it just effect the geomtry it's targetted at or does anything that comes between the decal and what ever it points at get effected? Example: You have a func_rotate fan in the ceiling. You've go...  [Read More]

I think the biggest use I can think of at the moment is the old "rotating fan" shadow, but that's reasonably easy to do, given some work. Would this be the decal effect you're talking about?...  [Read More]

Semi-dymanic lights have been around since Quake 1 - the old rocket launcher for example. In Jedi Academy the Lightsaber also gives off what could be considered a dynamic light. What the Quake engine doesn't really have is dynamic shadows, so if yo...  [Read More]

The texture on the right hand wall seems to be repeating a lot more than on the other walls. Also, the pipes seem to come directly out of the ceiling - try putting a box there where they come out and find a texture with a blinking led on it - you ca...  [Read More]

Looking good:) You could also try putting some lights on the floor next to the x-wings to light them up a little at the bottom - If it was a real hangar, the technicians fixing the x-wings would need the lights to see what they were doing, plus i...  [Read More]

You could try putting some pipes running from the box on the right hand side of the screen to the x-wings - it will look like they're being refuelled. I personally like the lights - could be a little brighter though. Chuck a couple of R2 or R5 droi...  [Read More]

You could, but you may have to create new animations such as the waiter carrying the tray. You should be able to improvise the rest (such as the bartender placing a glass down). Try getting the basic walk from point a to b scripting done 1st and the...  [Read More]

I find decompiling maps to be pretty useless - most of the entities come back screwed, you can't really see how everything is scripted and the map usually comes back so full of errors that it takes hours just to work out what should be there and what...  [Read More]
