Like Q3 games, it would depend and the angle of the slope, but once you start sliding you slide. To make anything slippery, use the 'system/slick' texture. Just create a thin brush above the one you want to be slippery and assign that texture to it...  [Read More]

CSG subtract is bad because it may create uncessary braushes (negatively affecting r_speeds), it can create hidden texture faces (slows down compiles), it can cause errors within the map that don't become evident until you compile (some very serious...  [Read More]

Nope, you can't do that :( You need to make it 2 seperate brushes....but you know how :) It won't make the level slower because of how the renderer works. Either case, it would cause a minimum of 4 polys. - Vorax...  [Read More]

You can't split a brush into more then one brush, but you can get a similar effect by creating a new brush through the old brush, selecting the new brush and doinga csg subtract. However I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE: NEVER USE CSG SUBTRACT. Just cr...  [Read More]

You get a .qe4 file with the editors. It's in the scripts dir. However, you are right kinda, you can't do everything without the right files, but the file that is most important is the .def file. That will only come with a release specific to the gam...  [Read More]
