I use darkplaces. Which Quake 1 engine do I need to use to get this to work? 

Which DarkPlaces is pretty much only on paper.

r_showtris 0/1

r_showbboxes 0/1

r_lightmap 0/1

can be helpful to. 

r_showsurfaces (= r_drawflat)
gl_lightmaps (= r_lightmap) 

"r_drawportals 1" shows the BSP leafs/portals

Also for finding cvars in DP:
"apropos lightmap" will list all cvars with "lightmap" in the name 

 

Is there is a quick way to align textures on different brushes in TrenchBroom? I can easily tell which ones are not aligned in-game but it's hard to tell in the editor. 

For me is easiest when I turn off texture lock. That way textures are always grid aligned.

Or is it only DP?

I'm getting an error when compiling a map. I am using trenchbroom to make the map and TyrUtils to compile, with a compiler GUI. I think the compiler is losing track of the .bsp after it converts it, but I'm not sure why. It was working one day, and the next day it was't.

Here's a link to a couple screen shots: http://imgur.com/a/P70o2

Also, I tried resinstalling TyrUtils and the GUI, but that didn't help.

Any help is appreciated! 

like water and sky/lava?

Avoid that by having a small gap between them. 

Looks like it may have been a Windows issue for the above ^^

When he showed me the file, I noticed windows said some content was blocked because it came from another computer. I unblocked it and was able to compile with Quark, but it also had some errors. Very weird , but maybe he can explain better what actually stopped the errors. 

You have to avoid clipping them out to the void, compensate that by putting worldspawn brushes on/around said liquid brushes. 

Mfx and daya have it; mixed contents error stops the bsp from being created and then vis says no file found. :( 

Hello!

I made box that is 4 pixels higher and 8 wider than spider entity, but for some odd reason it jumps, stucks, then jumps, starts to slowly get through the ceiling. Like what am I doing wrong? Is there any updates or fixes for that issue*

Here is some screenshots:

Running map in Quakespasm engine:

I had this problem and it was just a matter of fine tuning the position. Either push the spider out a bit or raise the ceiling even higher and test until the thing behaves! 

Ah, yeah it seems to be the case here. Even the main entities like grunts for example needs more or less 80 high and 64 pixels wide because it starts even consider coming out of door. I don't know how does it differ when comparing to other mods, but in "AD" mod enemies AI needs more pixels to work well.

Reason why I'm spending so much time with this is, because I want to make really narrow hallways or put the ceiling really low to create some claustrophobic feelings especially in tech bases.

Another Question: what is the highest angle enemies can run over? 15? 30? 45? I know I should test it by myself - but if someone has already figured that out, why not sharing it here? Also I'm new to this site's interface, don't even know how these topics work. It seems like everyone is stacking replies over the existing ones. 

Clips are invisible brushes, right? Should it block player not to stuck on details/geometry? If so, it's simple is not doing that. I placed the clip brush match the detailed brushes, when I run it it didn't block player and player walk between bars etc. and get stuck.

I'm using Quakespasm endige & mod Arcane Dimension. 

make sure all faces of brush are clip texture 

And also all faces of brush are clip texture, but it's not working for some reasons. 

Well slopes are just a bit finicky in general for Quake/Brush based so a clip brush would help.

If you have some sort of slope, make some clip brushes in the form of stair steps where the slope "joints" are. that way.

It's not the best idea for quake
