Is there any way to select all the brushes on the map at once or a selection box kinda thing? Is there a good way to select multiple objects that are being hidden by another brush? Actually, it's quite simple. Simple create a new brush (of any textur...  [Read More]

if I make a cage, would the fps(frame per second) be much lower than it would be w/o the cage? Framerate using glass will drop just as much as if you used any other shader. A few shaders won't cause many problems, but if you have more than say... fo...  [Read More]

Try to consolidate your posts into 1 in the future. :p And I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... glass is a shader, and shaders typically (depending on what kind of shader it is) cause the engine to draw two or three times as many triangles as...  [Read More]

Sounds for fires and such are covered in http://richdiesal.jedioutcastmaps.com/tutorials/en220lsn3.html As for func_plats/func_doors, you don't make them turn, I don't think. There is an option to make them face the direction of the next waypoint, b...  [Read More]

Regarding having no geometry behind the endcap, you said that is impossible. If you you look at my editor shot, windows2.jpg, I hope you can see what I have doneI say impossible in that if you have a curve blocking off the void, you create a leak in...  [Read More]

You need to make enclosed brushes wherever you want the player to actually be able to go. If you just want him to be able to see (and not go) to other buildings up high, then that is fine... you will be able to see through the sky shader to whatever...  [Read More]

As long as you path it the same. :) For example, if you reference "music/levelname/music.mp3", you would need to place it in "music/levelname/" within your PK3. EDIT: PK3s, MP3s, all the same thing. :p...  [Read More]

In fact, I get only about ten of the availiable 30 or so textures when I use that library. In GTK, I see them all. Can you shed some light on what's up here? This seems to be a common problem. Unfortunately, no one actually seems to stick with it lon...  [Read More]

1) That would be best done by scripting... give a force_push activated script to the breakable that activates it when push is used on it. 2) Scripting muuuuch more complicated. Scripting can make in-game cutscenes. Scripting good. :p 3) What's the...  [Read More]

One: A texture is a texture. You need a shader, not a texture. :) I don't think Raven included a shader to make that texture transparent, so you'll hafta make one yourself. :) Two: I've never gotten a ladder to work, so I have no idea. Three: Switc...  [Read More]

Oh hrm... still, those problems are just bizarre. You are using JK2Radiant and not GTKRadiant, right? GTK may handle these things differently (not sure though). You shouldn't need to ungroup the curve to do that. It's actually much more difficult to...  [Read More]
