1. I'm really bad at curves The more you use them, the better you'll be, trust me. If you don't use them, you'll never learn, and the looser is your map, unfortunately. And they ain't hard to use, either. Bah, this is the permanent one. Until th...  [Read More]

A couple of things: you should make it more crowded, that is, put more stuff in, or make the room smaller. Space crafts don't have too much extra space. And use a lot more curves. To be honest, I don't think that your bridge is yet 50% finished....  [Read More]

It's no doubt understandable that a few modders and other people who know the Q3A engine very well are a little bit conservative, and are naturally afraid that some of their vast knowledge will go to waste if the engine changes. However, in the big g...  [Read More]

Could you split your skybox in two? They could both end on top of that wall; it seemed straight enough. Just leave some space between them. I guess the player won't be anyway able to climb up there. I have serious doubts that hint brushes would do an...  [Read More]

WARNING: areaportal brush #### doesn't touch two areas This is easy to get if you make a big room, then divide it to two rooms by just constructing a separate wall in the middle. So that the ceiling, side walls and floor are essentially the same. N...  [Read More]

If the hint brushes in those corridors had no purpose, why use them? Well, in theory they shouldn't have such an effect as intended (not that I would pretend to know what Raven had in mind). On the other hand, this is not my original idea, far from...  [Read More]

If I separate the nodes between Luke's room and the hangar, I can't see the hangar with r_showtris 1 from Luke's Room, correct? True. Why areaportal and not hint? What's the difference? Use areaportals only with doors or other entities like func_s...  [Read More]

Anything left of your map after all that deleting? Well, it's a good thing you did find the culprit. All the time spent looking for some stupid error is always time away from actual mapping. That's a pity. You should probably use areaportaling, even...  [Read More]

Hint brushes are rather tricky, I admit. The theory is sound, especially if you should listen to it at some class room, and you could just forget it afterwards. In practice is can work as good as it is supposed, if used in basic situations. However,...  [Read More]

Just normal waypoints. Point_combats might be useless as they are only used in battles and the droids are not known for their high prowess in battle. I guess they don't even have any combat AI. Waypoint_navgoals are just for scripting, as far as I kn...  [Read More]

How do you get them to move around? Well, it should work just by constructing a network of waypoints and after that setting the droids in their spawnscript to a suitable behavior_state (it was bs_wander, or something like that, if I remember correc...  [Read More]
