It doesn't really matter how big the bevels - the Q3 engine will draw them at a lower detail the further away you are. This can be set in the game options under "geometric detail". If you're concerned that these bevels are going to kill a...  [Read More]

To be honest, I think it would be okay. I have a ton of bevels and endcaps in the level i'm messing about with and it runs along nicely. 4 bevels and some md3's aren't going to effect it that badly. Just use the cg_drawfps 1 command (may be cl_drawf...  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure there is a flag on func_train to cause damage. Setting up numerous func_trains is pain in the arse though. I've tried it myself and you can realisitcally only have a few trains going at once. What i've tried doing on my Coruscant te...  [Read More]

Also, these are maps by people who know the tools very, very well. What i've learnt is, no matter how good a mapper you think you are, there is always someone better. What I would advise you do is look at the ones that are rated 1 or 2 - these usual...  [Read More]

From what I can make out of what you're saying, I think that the problem with the yavin sky is that is doesn't have a "down" texture. Basically, skies are a box made of 6 textures - up, down, left, right and forward and back. It would appe...  [Read More]

q1:It leaks through the doors because the doors are not brushes per se - the compiler lights the map with the doors in the "open" position. Not much you can do about this i'm afraid. q2: good question - don't know the answer, but you could...  [Read More]

You should post this in the requests forum. I know there's been a lot of work done in bringing Solid Snake and Raiden to life in JA. Perhaps they've also begun creating maps for use with them. You can have a look here: http://66.90.64.18/showthrea...  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure that for animating models such as ships landing, taking off etc you will need to use ROF files. I have no real idea of how to implement these, but do a search on Raven's site and you should find the information you're looking for....  [Read More]

just use a brush and use the caulk texture on the faces that will not be visible to the player. The reason I suggest this is that patches can be a pain in the arse and are much more difficult to texture correctly. Make it detail (ctrl-d) if it's not...  [Read More]

If a lot of the entities are npcs, you could have them spawn in during the course of play of the map, rather than have them all spawn in at once - eg. for every stormtrooper you kill, another one will appear down the line somewhere. I think this work...  [Read More]
