Well, 45fps is not that bad, especially if you've got most of the options ramped up. Try using r_ext_compress_lightmaps 1 and r_ext_compress_textures 1, try reducing anistropicity down to x2, textures down to 16bit, turn off anti_aliasing - None of t...  [Read More]

You could just build the wall out of more than one brush and shape them so a hole is created - far more compiler friendly than using csg subtract. Also, if you're using the clipper tool, the area highlighted in red is the area that will be removed...  [Read More]

In radiant, open the skies texture library and use the "little" sky textures, e.g: for a bespin sky there'll be a total of 7 textures: bespin_up bespin_dn bespin_ft bespin_bk bespin_lf bespin_rt and a tiny little sky blue one, with sky wr...  [Read More]

Another tip: What I find useful if I want to make sure my map will run quickly on other peoples machines, is to set all the graphics options to maximum - e.g. dynamic glow on, 1600x1200, full anistropic filtering etc. If is works at full speed with...  [Read More]

Don't worry about the bi-directional thing - it'll work like that. What I would suggest though, is to leave the wall that the door will slide into as a single structural brush and use detail brushes and the "lip" key to hide the door in i...  [Read More]

I works differently for the later versions of q3map2. basically you have to have the areaportal covered in the skip shader, with only 1 side covered in the areaportal shader. the areaportal "face" should then be buried exactly in the cen...  [Read More]

Also, if you have lots of rooms and corridors, rather than wide open spaces, try using areaportals with the doors. Just do a search for them on this forum - you'll find plenty of help for them/...  [Read More]

You should add a sun entity to it as well to get some cool shadows. It's looking a bit cloudy at the moment:) While we're on the sun topic, I remember in quake3 there was an r_drawsun cvar that would, funnily enough, draw a sun. Doesn't seem to work...  [Read More]
