Fog can only have one visible side, mostly....anyway it wouldn't work for a cloud very well. Your best bet is efx files with moving 'clouds', the only problem is this can lower FPS...but it can look very sweet; I never released it but I made a mothe...  [Read More]

Search for "quake 3" foghull on google or maybe search for foghull here because I'm pretty sure we've covered it before. And fog can indeed improve FPS in the case of a foghull as it prevents rendering past a pre-specified "hull"...  [Read More]

But in JA you can just activate and de-activate triggers meaning you don't need to use the invisible door trick which is what we used to use in Elite Force. JA makes things so much easier....  [Read More]

Something I learnt a short while ago is vis does actually affect lighting compile times, leaving everything structural will make lighting run at its fastest but at the expense of insane compile times and the risk of odd things happening as you play y...  [Read More]

However in gaming, FPS does count, if you play at 40FPS then play at 80FPS you'll notice a lot more fluidity to the game; game physics rely on FPS too, or should I say the physics will be best for you at certain FPS and 85 and 140 I think are two of...  [Read More]

You just clip it simply, you don't need to make it tidy, no-one will see the clip, just outline it generally. And to the person who is going to advise him to auto-clip, he's talking about small models here, the type you DO NOT auto clip....  [Read More]

What he means is the latest feature of Q3Map2 to correctly meta, lightmap and solidify models. The only reason I haven't gone through how to use an older GTK and compile with a newer Q3Map2 is it's hard to explain to him (no offense but you have no...  [Read More]
