If you ever say max_map_visibility in forums, expect that reply. It is the most common one, replying with capitals and "GOD DAMN IT" won't help. You didn't specify it was a large map and I am no trans-internet telepath. Any insult was unint...  [Read More]

We're still a way off having a game that can move the sun across the sky ** as that would require dynamic lightmaps.....possible with vertex lit games of course but vertex lighting is never as smooth as lightmapped texture. **Although the latest vid...  [Read More]

A second thread? Anyhow have you actually looked what a target_teleporter is? You'll find it's a teleporting entity, not a target for a trigger_teleport. /*QUAKED target_teleporter (1 0 0) (-8 -8 -8) (8 8 8) The activator will be teleported away....  [Read More]

And you should use vertex/edge moving as well as clipping, free rotate is great for meshes...not so good for solid work. 45 degrees isn't too bad as long as the brush is simple, a complex brush tho may end up disappearing....  [Read More]

How about using one of the light styles? You can even make your own customised light style to get close to what you want. In the worldspawn type a key/value pair of something like "_style1rgbgen" "wave square 0 1 0 0.5" This wil...  [Read More]
