Do a BSP only compile. Then go to the plugins menu and load the portal file. Look in the console for the number of portals and post that along with a screenshot of radiant so we can see the portals to get an idea of how bad it is....  [Read More]

As I said in my last post, using a combination of area portals and skybox brushes it's quite possible thanks to the games interpretation of it, my map in Elite Force does exactly this to create an invisible corridor that runs alongside one of the mai...  [Read More]

Sounds remarkedly like my invisible tunnel in the Meier maps for Elite Force where you can see and shoot out but the tunnel appears totally invisible from outside. I used a hack of skybox and area portal covered brushes to confuse the game into work...  [Read More]

Yeah the Q3 engine has finally hit its end-of-days. With HL2, Farcry and D3 there really is no comparison to Q3 anymore. Until Q4 comes along (if ever) I think we'll see less and less games being developed using this aged engine. Won't stop me enjoy...  [Read More]

If you've used GTKRadiant, D3Radiant is a breeze. I couldn't believe how easy it was to pick up and use - there's a few things that could do with tweaking like how to select brushes and apply textures. Also D3 has amazing lighting which is fully pre...  [Read More]

I agree with GothiX, my reasoning is because it has never really took off enough which is something we all thought may happen. I've started mapping for Doom 3 now because I think there is far more hope for that....  [Read More]

How about doing it like this: http://www.stargatemods.com/misc/3-way-link.gif You can repeat the process to add any number of trigger_multiples which act as teleporters because of the target_teleport entity. In the image the 3 'INACTIVE' trigger_m...  [Read More]

Have you got patch meshes set to be invisible, I know you said you can re-select or I think I know you said but go into the View menu and check. If you're having major problems re-selecting visible meshes then totally uninstall and re-install Radian...  [Read More]

Image not found. And if you think about it, if you can see a room through the skybox then you've designed something wrong anyway because you should be able to see it anyway otherwise it'd be like the tardis! The exception to this are unlinked rooms...  [Read More]

Post an image of your map in Radiant, top down so we can see the structure of your map in the area where the skybox is and the other room - label it as well so we can see where the window is and where the room is that you can see through it....  [Read More]

Gothix you're forgetting one key thing when you're re-iterating that...it's drawn last behind everything you can visusally see. If there is a room behind it that has no connection, hell if there's a 180 degree turn and the vis data blocks off the oth...  [Read More]

I didn't miss your point but I think it's still far better to have those 2 extra non-drawn surfaces behind that bevel, we know it works and gives an outcome you expect and allows the lightmap to flow smoothly without any chance of problems....  [Read More]

No, you don't need to...you don't need to caulk at all anymore; but should you? Yes. Simple fact is, if you use tidy mapping techniques then any bugs that occur could never be due to sloppy mapping and makes finding errors a lot easier. In short, ca...  [Read More]
