I will likely make the tuts downloadable when they are all complete. I am going back and revising them fairly often, so this will likely be a good distance in the future. I will be making tuts on all the things you described, but I am going to finis...  [Read More]

Well, you need to first realize that patches aren't technically curves... they are just highly triangulated (that's probably not the right word) surfaces. Thus, in the game, sometimes two patches up next to each other won't have their triangles match...  [Read More]

It will also happen if you put an invisible shader on top of it (for example - slick). If you're referring to the bespin air vents, I think they have invisible curves inside the actual curves covered with system/slick Not 100% sure on that though....  [Read More]

Neh, as far as I know, they're all just square caulk pipes with bevels inside to give the appearance of a pipe. Just use my arched-ceiling in a hallway tutorial and double it to encompass the entire hallway. And as for Derisor, you need usables! :)...  [Read More]

1) No real good shader-coding tutorials that I know of except for the shader manual itself. 2) Yes... with shaders. :p 3) Do you mean actual fog or fog shaders? Actual fog (as in, the fog inside water), there aren't individual particles, so you just...  [Read More]

Well, the sliders in the Yavin Trial level were all done with scripting. :D As for the map, not bad... definitely a good start. But I did notice a couple of things. For one, there's a grate in the floor in between rooms with what looked like HOM be...  [Read More]

Create a func_door in SP and see what the FORCE_ACTIVATE checkbox adds for spawnflags. It is also talked about in the help box. Then use that value on your MP map. Although I'm not entirely sure that that specific key works in MP... haven't tried it...  [Read More]

Don't know scripting, sorry. :D Learning it now myself. Read the ICARUS manual - that'll get you started. Though I do know if you want to have a script start when an NPC is spawned, you can set the key spawnscript and a value. If you want a script t...  [Read More]

You need to have caulk behind it... somewhere. Specifically where doesn't matter in terms of visual quality, but you will want to make that space appropriately sized (be it big or small) to make your compile times as fast as possible. That is of cou...  [Read More]

Because if you didn't, the engine would draw that surface behind the curve (even though you wouldn't be able to see it). Remember (and I'm sure you read the compiling tutorial), the VIS process completely ignores curves - thus anything behind a curve...  [Read More]
