You need to enlighten me as to what modelling program you're using :) First of all though try the help file, if it doesn't cover how to texture map then it's crap :p...  [Read More]

If you have GTKRadiant 1.4.0 then use the q3map2.exe that's in the GTKRadiant directory. If you don't, download the latest version from here (http://www.shaderlab.com/q3map2/2.5/q3map_2.5.14_win32_x86.zip) and extract it to its own directory....  [Read More]

On my PC.... Jedi Academy - D:\JA GTKRadiant (where Q3Map2.exe is) - D:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-1.4 This would mean the file would be very similar to my above post (I actually have a subfolder for Q3Map2 but that's just me). Commonly it's like:...  [Read More]

Erm? What are you saying? My post says copy and paste the code into notepad, save as makease.bat, change the file paths and then drag and drop to compile. You don't need to worry about subdivisions....  [Read More]

Sorry I don't get your problem? Also what did you mean about Q3Map2 compiling slower than Radiant? Radiant uses Q3Map2 to compile! It should actually be faster if Radiant isn't open because Radiant uses CPU and memory....  [Read More]

You need q3map2 to make the ase from a .map file And you can change all the paths, doesn't matter where q3map2 is or where JA is, all that matters is you type it to match your PC and use / instead of \ in the fs_basepath....  [Read More]

Put this into notepad and save it as makease.bat in your base\maps folder. Then all you have to do is drag a .map onto it and it will make you the .ase from it :) (Remember to change the paths to suite your PC!) @echo off @"D:\Program Files\Gt...  [Read More]

I've used ASE creation a lot, especially in my last map and I can assure you you don't need the caulk box nor the info player start, a map created purely of meshes and brushes with no entities will not leak, it will quite happily compile and then can...  [Read More]

To make an ASE is easy, no tutorials needed: Build what you want in GTK, you need it to be structural (don't set anything to detail). If you make it totally out of patch meshes place one brush covered in caulk that only needs to be 1x1x1 in size som...  [Read More]

If anything you have to use hint and always do a vis compile to check it is actually in-vis-ible (aha :p). Always think of one thing though...if you can see a room through a skybox and it's connected to the room you're in then logically you should b...  [Read More]

That's everything you can see according to the vis data for the position the player is standing in, you can easily put stuff behind a skybox connected to the room with the skybox provided you sort the vis data out to block it....  [Read More]

The problem you're having is most likely a vis issue, if the vis data says you can see those rooms behind the skybox then they will be drawn. Look up vis, portals, nodes...should bring something useful up....  [Read More]

Just to totally re-emphasise point 2, for any model that isn't basically huge you really need to use the physics_clip brush method. In fact number 2 is best used only for terrain models. It can lead to some pretty odd clipping results - most noticea...  [Read More]

On all newer cards (I'd say GF4 onwards) the actual triangle count in a scene has started to matter less and less, engines have been modified in order to deal with more triangles as well. No one I know of to date has gone as extreme as I did in EF an...  [Read More]
