No Beep Message? 
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but is there a way (in vanilla Quake, no QC) to display a centerprint message without triggering that "beep beep" sound? I've tried triggers and relays with the sound set to "0", but it doesn't work. 
Rick 
try sounds/misc/null.wav.
Maybe that helps? 
Mfx 
That's a Quoth-only functionality. 
Grmpf 
 
Hack! 
Replace the beep sound with a copy of misc/null.wav 
 
Create a new brush entity called "trigger_multiple". Set a new key: "noise" with a value of: "misc/null.wav" Set your message. Give the key sounds a value of 0. 
 
Sorry that last key is "sounds" with a value of "0". 
Noise 
Thanks much :)

noise = misc/null.wav

Works. Why?

I'm going to try it on a relay next to see if I can save a model. 
Why? For Rick 
from triggers.qc

void() multi_trigger =
{
...
if (self.noise)
sound (self, CHAN_VOICE, self.noise, 1, ATTN_NORM);
...
}


multi_trigger is a function that is called when the trigger is touched/killed/used. the code plays whatever the trigger's 'noise' key is. the 'sounds' key/value that editors expose just switch (in the entity definitions for the triggers themselves) between several hardcoded noise values (which are also precached by the trigger) 
Oh 
if you set a 'sounds', your 'noise' will get overwritten, so don't 
Has Anybody Else Ever Noticed 
that the wizmet1_2 texture has one rivet that's misaligned? 
Way To Ruin Negke's Xmas, Rick 
 
LOL 
I'm going to include that texture in more maps from now on ;D 
 
What? Do you think that every bolt and rivet in the real world was placed with a micrometer in hand? It's tiny flaws like that in a texture that just take the reality of things in life and place it in the game. If you want nice shiny textures go map for Halo or something...

There, now Negke's Christmas isn't ruined (quite so much). 
Source Code To Sin Editing Tools. 
Hello everyone.

A long time ago, ritual released the source to their editing tools. I was wondering if anybody knew what to get it as it is no longer available.

Thanks. 
I Bought Sin From Steam A While Ago 
Doesn't work in Windows7, I see they removed it from their catalog in the meantime.

The second one is okay-ish, but couldn't compete in the marketplace. 
Damaged 
Here's the catch to Sin editing ToolsI have form GoldenBoy.
It's all in there, scripting etc.
I tried it out but it's quite messy. 
Need Help! 
How do I change the radius of lights and how do I make doors in trenchbroom? 
Ok 
Lights - add a new key (a data entry in an entity, like a light) by hitting the + button when you have it selected and are viewing the 'entity' pane.

It'll create one without any useful data inside, you need to first name it 'light' and then give it a value. By default lights have a value of 400 if you set nothing.

There are various others keys to be added to a light that can give you more control, but you're better off reading more comprehensive documentation for that;

http://shoresofnis.wordpress.com/guides/lighting-basics/

To make a door select one or more brushes and right click on it. Select the option 'create brush entity' and then func_door.

These also have a bunch of keys to set for speed, distance and so on, this is a pretty good guide;

Good luck! 
Default Light Value Is 300!!!!!!!
