Originally posted by mknote Also, no matter how much I tinker with the _farplanedist, I still get the HOM effect. I have set it from as low as 1 to as high as 100000, and not one bit of difference. No, it MUST be the shader itself. MK Originally...  [Read More]

How big is this map: 36k units? You need the fog for covering invisible geometry. It must “finish” just before the HOM starts. If you see the HOM it means that your fog doesn’t cover it. In other words, you need something like this: P--------...  [Read More]

Caulking behind the bevels has nothing do to with the sparkles. In the ancient times (were RD tutorials were made) the T-junction code in sof2map compiler was not very sophisticated – max points on winding error etc. You had to cut the walls to hel...  [Read More]

Yes. Using decals you can project "semi" dynamic shadows in the same way (more less) they are projected in games like DX2, Thief 2 or mentioned Splinter Cell. It needs more work because the feature is not natively supported by the engine bu...  [Read More]

1. A dynamic light becomes dynamic when it’s able to move. According to this definition the dynamic lights are not supported by this engine. You must wait for Doom 3 or switch to Unreal engine if you want them. There’re, however the lightstyles t...  [Read More]

Maybe it's because of a bug in the Icarus code. If it doesn't work try to "move" only the first three troopers and make the rest to follow them. Example: Sa3 Sa2 Sa1 NavA Sb3 Sb3 Sb1 NavB Sc3 Sc2 Sc1 NavC If Sa1 goes to the navpoint Nav...  [Read More]

You can modify its size according to your needs in EffectsEd. It’s quite simple. Search this forum because I have an impression that I have already explained how to do it. You can also "steal" or re-use /if you prefer/ some fire effects...  [Read More]

If you’re a new mapped don’t try to do everything at one. This is the best way to have nothing working correctly. First create a door without the switch, check if it works, then create the switch/trigger and check if it works and finally create t...  [Read More]
