I've been wondering, is there an IRC or other chat service room/channel that I can join for getting help with Quake mapping? I keep coming up with questions I want to ask, but I don't really want to clog up this thread with them. 

 

#terrafusion on quakenet
For TB questions come to #trenchbroom 

 

It'll link doors if their bounding boxes touch.
Thing is, it is not smart enough to recognize anything other than doors that open in opposite directions and it 'fixes' doors it thinks are not opening in the right direction.

whenever you're working with doors in close proximity, just put door_dont_link on anyway. in some ways, it's better even for doors that would normally link because then both doors will emit a sound instead of just one. 

I Need to make a new progs.dat with DOE & SOA features... 

http://www.gamers.org/pub/idgames2/more_idstuff/ 

At this point I think it's safe to say that func_door is my favorite func_... except for func_msgboard!

This question's probably been asked before, but searching this thread is a real pain. It's also really short:

How do I suppress/replace the message that a door that requires a key shows?

Hopefully this is possible... 

I want to have a low gravity map like Ziggurat Vertigo, but unlike that map, I want it to be self contained. How do I change sv_gravity using a trigger? 

Like hipnotic, Quoth or AD. 

Func_door has a message code that you can fill in as soon as the player reaches the door. It goes something like:

"classname" "func_door"
"message" "stop calling that key funtion"
 

Can I put the .qc files directly to the progs.scr for combine mods in a progs.dat?

example: I add hipscor.qc and wrath.qc to a same progs.scr.

Also in monsters.qc is need to add their respective info? 

I have already tried that, all it seems to achieve is that both messages are sent to the player, with the custom one only visible in the console. :( 

The message key/string works for any door that requires external activation. However, you probably can't remove the default message for doors that require a key. It's part of doors.qc

http://www.gamers.org/dEngine/quake/Qc/doors.htm

It would be easy enough to change if you didn't mind having a custom progs.dat 

Oh, how I love hardcoded messages like that. I guess i'll just ditch keys and trigger the doors instead. Pity, really... 

you can add several qc files to the prog.scr but chance will be there are strings that relay on eachother that prohibit the outcome of a progs.dat.

the compiler will send an error.txt or maybe in case if you're lucky not.
the missin pack qc are rather complex, I allready stumble in the usual one. 

I was building a house in Trenchbroom, and it became corrupted somehow. I'm wondering if there is a way to recover it? I've tried running the file in other map programs to no avail. Link to the map file is here:

yeah you got a bunch of "nans" on some texcoords for some reason - grab a fixed file here (i've just zeroed the nans, so you have to redo the texcoords on the affected brushes)

I'm pretty sure SleepwalkR would be grateful if you reported it as an issue on the TrenchBroom github page: https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues

By the way, were you using Valve format (I can't tell from the map file you uploaded)? I ran into an issue with "nan" unexpectedly appearing in my texture coordinates; sounds like it may be the same issue:
https://github.com/kduske/TrenchBroom/issues/1069 

Ok, I get try to do it with careful.
In my case I using kurok, The files for the Progs.scr Needs to be in the same directory? Adding for example duck.qc to qc directory. 

Thank you! SleepwalkR also provided me with a clean file. The problems seem to have occurred when I duplicated some brushes. I'll have to do some experiments to see why it did that. 

The simplest way would be to add things like objects before the misc.qc and monsters after the ogre.qc. That's for the compiler you're using. Not had much trouble with it as long as the objects you're placing are standalone.

As soon as they become related to eachother, let's say the monster needs a weapon.qc tribute that isn't there you have to add it seperately.

I'm placing trees so I add a tree.qc just before the misc.qc and make sure ther's a tree.qc with the message for the corresponding tree.mdl.
Then it goes fine. 

But I edit the misc and weapons qc's for seperately? Or it creates the defintion in weapons.qc by default? 

I lost some ammo, I just need to study about qc? 

I add hipscor.qc and wrath.qc to a same progs.scr.

While doing that there are defs in both qc files that won't fit with eachother.

org duplicate definition ignored
Here you have a def of two shotgun types that can't go along with eachother so you have to hussle wich one does fit.
You can click on the green definition to show you where both definition misargue.

In this case you'll need to define new arguments for the TE_Explosion, ammu_shells1 rockets cells.

It's rather kinky stuff because as soon as you find the string another one starts calling.
I spend months to seek the head type the gremlin uses for the weapon change trick.
Couldn't find it as it is integrated throughout whole the code.
