Mapping Help
This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

I had no idea UD has single player capabilaties. I have some older levels on my harddrive I could fix up for the mod, and I have a mindflayer model I made for the original Thief I would be glad to convert to Quake mdl format. So if you are interested I'll work them over this coming weekend.

OK, I found the stuff... it seems to be a problem coming from RVIS... As you explain in the tooltip text file (thanks for the related link...), I try "gl_clear 1" and "r_novis 1" command from the console, and it solves me the HOM problem...
I will check all the brushes, and try to realign all textures if required... Thus I will see if HOM remains... otherwize perhaps there exists some compilation options I forgot... I'm very curious about those you currently use... I have to improve and optimize my process...
Thanx
Bye... 
Biff Debris? 
This guy made a couple texture packs that fleshed out the standard base, and metal id textures. In them he used a stone texture in combination with some of the tech textures to produce a very cool looking set of hall/wall textures. Unfortunnatly it doesnt look like the actuall stone texture got included in the WAD. Id "really" like to get a matching stone texture to go with the others. Does anyone know where I can get it or maybe contact Biff Debris? Id like to use these textures in my first mapping attempt, but not having the base stone texture is a bummer.

Thanks! FaT. 
FaTbOy! 
I'm assuming that you're referring to the rok_la* or _re* texes, and those were made by Asaki. The stone texture itself is cliff1, which I've got -- but dunno where I got it from. If you would like, I could send it to you via email -- unless someone else might know what .wad it originally resided in... 
Thanks!

I am a compulsive collector, if you've got links to, or .wad files of any interesting textures feel free to send them to me. One thing though since I am using yahoo, there is a size limit of 1 or 1.5 megs imposed on emails recieved.

Btw great texture sets! There are detail textures in them that I have been wishing for for years. Ive made several not to successful attempts to modify some of the exsisting id textures to suit my purposes. But so far I wouldnt show any of them to my parents, much less to the public.

Anyhoo, thanks again! FaT. 
Cliff1 
If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it came from the Rogue mission pack. 
Sent =D 
Just fired off a little .wad with the texture to you -- ahh, technology. 
Thanks! 
Yes the internet is a wonderful thing.

I looked through the rogue wad and didnt see it. I have had my doubts as to the completeness (that a word?) of some of the id and crew .wads out there.

Screwy thing now is worldcraft keeps telling me the .bsp for my level wasnt built. Its rather anoying... 
Stupid Question... 
about Bengt jardrup's tools. There are alot of files with the .c extention. Would I be assuming correctly that these are source files and do not need to be installed into my worldcraft tools directory? 
Yep. 
all you need are the .exe files 
Yep. 
all you need are the .exe files 
Woah... 
i double posted! 
Missing Texture 
I have a missing texture in the .bsp and it is not visible in the game. However, I have looked through the .map file and cannot find the name of the texture to enable me to change it.

I know I do not need to do anything... but I want to.

So, fellow mappers, is there a tool to check the .bsp to get the name of the texture. Alternatively, how can I easily locate this missing texture? 
If You Have 
built the bsp from a map file, just check the compiler log.

AFAIK, it's not possible to see in the bsp which texture (i.e. name) that is missing, because it's ... missing.

If you can't see it in-game, it's probably some kind of a clip/trigger texture. Surprisingly many released bsps have missing textures.

Too many entities. Right?

But does this mean to many edicts or just too many brushmodels? Or both?

And also: Am I correct thinking that ambient sounds don't count as edicts or other bad things with low limits? 
Missing Texture 
WARNING 16: Texture bodiesa3_1 not found

Thanks again, aguirRe

I usually have -verbose turned off and just did not think. (Too busy checking the �re weather whilst compiling my map file!) 
Ambient Sounds 
count as edicts. 
It's Bad 
 
Pretty Much 
every entity, except for lights which aren't switchable or have a "style" set to them are edicts. that doesn't include torches and flames -- these are "static entities" and have a limit all their own. 
Func_illusionary 
...is also a static entity, and therefore not an edict. 
What's Wrong? 
So I received a demo from a map I sended.
Unzipped it with Dzip, and placed it in my
Quake directory. Openend the map that was related to, and gave the console the option:
playdemo test1.dem

Still I receive the -can't open test1.dem- 
Here's What's Wrong 
you should put it in the /id1/ directory, not the quake directory 
I Did 
won't work. 
 
"Just fired off a little .wad"

Bet you did ^_~ 
What Does It Mean... 
What does it mean when I get a 'Reached occupant at XYZ, no filling performed' error, not in FillOutside but in GrowRegions (hull 2 to be precise)?

Cheers.
