The latest Q3Map2 has the ability to use brushes to set alpha values on meshes/triangle groups which means you can blend textures a different way. http://www.splashdamage.com/index.php?name=pnPHPbb2&file=viewtopic&t=7655...  [Read More]

Why would you need skyfix for JA? AFAIK it doesn't need it. As for why disable verbose mode...I was just stating the compile options, -v is optional; the stuff I said was essential. If your vis data is too big then you need to re-think your detail/...  [Read More]

caulk_water ensures the brush will act as water, caulk_lava will ensure the brush will act as lava. If you use caulk_nonsolid or nodraw then there is a chance that the brush will come out just being nonsolid with one surface looking like water but th...  [Read More]

Make a brush covered in system/caulk_water then texture the top face only with this shader...remember to add the name of the shader file to shaderlist.txt in order for Q3Map2 to actually recognise it's a shader and compile it as water as well!...  [Read More]
