God love the mature language people use these days... This usually happens when the compiler can't find the textures as it compiles so it doesn't know how to scale them. Post your compile log after hitting BSP only compile from the BSP menu (your lo...  [Read More]

3DS Max 6 can export to ASE which you can load up in Radiant, you will still have to caulk hull your map though and should really learn shaders to create the proper shaders for models that you want to act as maps...  [Read More]

Press V while selecting a cylinder (a mesh cylinder not a brush cylinder - they're just useless most of the time). Drag the points around and you can make tons of shapes, I'm pretty sure you can work out how to drag them to bend the pipe if you look...  [Read More]

The easiest way for you to get the log is compile it from GTKRadiant and then copy and paste the log from the bottom part of GTK because it monitors the compiler and prints everything it gets... Are you sure it's actually looping the same thing over...  [Read More]
