If you just want to approximate the surface of the model (some are WAY too complicated to do with brushes), you can just use system/clip. The difference between clip and physics_clip is that clip blocks only players and NPCs, while physics_clip block...  [Read More]

Your best bet is a flare. Make your own flare shader based on the Raven flares (be sure to include the command deformVertexes autosprite) and use an image that looks like a little flame. Check out Eldritch's Hogwarts maps for examples....  [Read More]

Hmmm, that is exactly how my understanding of those keys works (distance cull = cut drawing at distance; farplane dist = distance at which to draw "farplane"). You know, a really light bluish-white fog might be fine...it would just look li...  [Read More]

_distancecull just cuts off visibility at the given limit. ie, the engine stops drawing. So anything beyond that number isn't rendered, and when the engine doesn't render stuff, you get HOM. _farplanedist is used in conjunction with _foghull <pat...  [Read More]

After you build your window, make a brush "plug" that exactly fits the window. Texture the inward-facing part of the brush with the sky shader. This brush will act solid, but you will see a sky drawn infinitely far away....  [Read More]
