It's not retarded, it's just not a wise idea on a complex map, although I'm sure a tiny map wouldn't be hurt by it :p Retarded is such a strong word... I've released a lot of maps so I do know about vis, my point is how do you explain something like...  [Read More]

That is one of the worst ideas in the history of Q3 mapping.I challenge you to explain how to decide what to and what not to make detail in a map you know nothing about to a person who doesn't speak english very well :p When it comes down to it anyho...  [Read More]

Brushes (what you built with in Radiant) can be either Detail or Structural: Detail - a brush that looks nice and that's about it! Structural - a brush that does stuff inside the game that can become confusing if you look into it :) If you select a...  [Read More]

You use a shader that has surfaceparm forcefield in it. This can be one that comes with the game or one you make yourself such as byss/static_field_2sided nar_hideout/pipe1_ref rift/env_crystal Make a func_usable and apply this texture to it, then w...  [Read More]

Depends how you worked, Cap/Fit etc are great if all you want is basic control over meshes but if you want to truly control how a texture fits to a mesh, you need Shift+S, I've always used it to control exactly how my textures look on meshes...saying...  [Read More]

Make a brush out of system/nodraw and then texture 1 side only (Ctrl+Shift+Click to select 1 brush side) You can usually texture up to 2 sides before it may go solid, depends on the way the brush was created (direction created) among other things.......  [Read More]

Since the dawn of Q3 it has mattered, FPS affects in-game physics, certain FPS values increase the physics to your advantage...admittedly in a game like JA the effect will not be as noticeable as games like Elite Force/Quake 3, but it's still there....  [Read More]
