You don't make worldspawn, it is there by default, every new map has worldspawn. Try resizing the entity window to get the list to appear again, it's just a sizing fault....  [Read More]

But he wants to map and test on the demo, the one he releases would no doubt include the "will only work on the final" comment. I don't see why attempting to start mapping on it until he gets the game would be illegal, just as long as he do...  [Read More]

You don't have to edit a model to re-texture it, surprised Emon didn't know about this. Select the model and open the entity window, type a key of _remap and a value of *;path/to/my/replacement/texture. This will remap the entire model to use this n...  [Read More]

Yes I asked why remove something when you know the modding community will need it...that one got no reply - that in itself is odd. But that's what happened, they had no need for the traditional functionality of portals/mirrors so they removed a fair...  [Read More]

How about if I told you I know this because of a reply from Raven about it? Information from the horses mouth tends to remove skepticism. It was because "we didn't need anything like that anymore"...  [Read More]

The games always have detected new shader files, always, otherwise we'd have problems creating new PK3's...Q3Map2 (the compiler) however only loads shader files that are in shaderlist.txt . So when you're mapping you still need to add shaders to that...  [Read More]

You can make mirrors of most surfaces...but I think JA's borked mirror code would prevent it. For some reason Raven thought just because they didn't use mirrors and portals, we wouldn't...so they removed the best bits of the code....  [Read More]

Make a text file called yourmap.shader in base\shaders. Add the name of that file into shaderlist.txt (minus the .shader end) Apply the texture as usual...you can even do this after applying the texture. BTW Those two lines that are textures/mymap/m...  [Read More]

Missed that bit...have you installed any custom maps? The matrix map for one totally destroys the bespin shaders I believe which of course affects SP. A silly oversight in the shader creation of the authors....  [Read More]

First of all be sure if they are JPEG's that they are Standard Encoded (in all save as dialogs for JPEG you should get an options button). Secondly they must have dimensions that are powers of two, so 32,64,128,256,512,1024. Any mix will do, so an i...  [Read More]

When the game loads, every piece of text that you may need in that game is pre-cached. So all the saber hilts, models, vehicles, everything you create a text file for and can call up mid-game is cached. You don't have to have them in the map for the...  [Read More]

This is the same as portals/mirrors, they modified how they work making it so you can't simply place a texture anywhere now, it has to be vis-blocked. What I don't understand is, they know these games they release are heavily modded from even before...  [Read More]

In your first post all you said was "big blocksize is bad", which you have to admit is wrong to say. Your further explanation is far better..if not debatable still on some levels. You have to admit though your first post was far to vague to...  [Read More]

Emon I know you're a resident expert but I have to disagree, I've used that value in my map which has detail galore but it runs at full FPS for me. This is even with terrain and models in view. I have an old GF MX420 that can push 90fps (my limit) on...  [Read More]

Default block size is a mere 1024x1024x1024, you can imagine the vis data for large maps if it's split that frequently. Trust me on this, large maps do NOT cause frame rate drops if done properly. It's a matter of finding a way of working around vis...  [Read More]
