Nobody should need to do that hackery anymore today, unless you're mapping for DOSquake or something. 

 

There're still many people who play with Winquake or Glquake. If you're making a protocol 15 map, this is just another limitation to keep in mind. 

At my stage it'll probably be barely playable in Darkplaces because of high monster counts in several places, never mind vanilla Quake :)

But it's good to know for future reference. 

Was in AguirRe's engine at 666 - which is now fairly old. 

Does Fitzquake have a variable to increase the number of particles it'll display? Couple of areas with a fair few togglewall with particles on, which I think is stopping weapon fire from producing particles :E

Directq/RMQ not having the same problem. 

I think it's a commandline command. Or a console command. BUUUUUUT....:

I cant remember what it is....... 

 

hmm, what's the default value? :/ 

but i always use -particles 20000 which seems to be enough for dozens of explosions or gib trails. 

Is there a reason that info_notnull is commented out in quoths fgd? 

Because it allows you to make brush and point entities out of it without worldcraft complaining! It's a concession to hacks which really shouldn't be supported, but it's there now. 

Well, i uncommented it :p. I haven't had a need for any of the hacks that involve info_notnull brushes. If i do, i'll comment it out i suppose. 

so there hasn't been a solution to the issues with texture alignment with WC 3.3 yet right? If I were to open a map file in 1.6 and save it as an rmf, and then open it in 3.3, would that, by any chance, work? I know I should search for my answer, but meh. 

It would.

Because 1.6 saves in a basic format whilst 3.3 is the advanced one.

3.3 being a problematic texture format is only because no other editors bought into it. Functionally it works great, it's just not backwards compatible because of the closed source.

A solution would be reverting it to the simpler format. But to be honest, being able to rotate solids and have the textures do the same seems kind of minimal editor function now. 

Being id1 or 1997. 

And that the 'advanced' aspect of the texture offsets probably don't get used by standard QBSPs. 

Speaking as we are about Worldcraft anyway... 3D view crashes as soon as you change it's window size (taking the program with it). Kinda annoying cause means I can't maximise the display. Everything else seems okay. Thoughts?

Tried a quick reinstall but didn't help. 

Also you can try the Hammer 3.5 application, just download the .exe file and drop it into your WC DIR. Then make yourself a shortcut etc....

The only other thing tat might work is if you go Tools => Options => 3D Options => Uncheck 'filter textures' if present. 

Well, using hammer 3.5 seems to work but it's being really annoying about textures. I added them all in and it was fine but on restart it complained they were the wrong type of wad... 

Ah, lol, think I know what I did, seems okay :p 

I had this idea for slime trap involving a non-solid mover, and unsuccessfully spent the last two hours trying to make it work.

I used the modelindex trick from <a href=http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=4&start=5099&end=5099">here</a>. I must have done something wrong, because I couldn't get the thing to appear and/or move. A door would have been problematic for coop anyway, so I tried it with a train. Still no success.

What do I need to set the info_notnull's think field to? SUB_regen?
