Have you actually snapped all brushes to the grid? This is important especially when working with Crocodile Dundee-type of editors like Quark.
Also be sure to use up-to-date versions of the compilers, not the old ones that come with Quark.
These for example. Using them, the map leaks, but it appears the corridor in question is accessible. Might be some odd floating point/degenerate brush issue..

The Axe_Ogre would not walk over gaps of 32 units. I left in a microbrush on the floor.
Why won't the Ogres cross 32 units?
They are big enough I think so.

Monster movement code uses hull 0 instead of hull 1 or 2 for checking the floor. This means any small gap deeper than step height will be a barrier to monster pathfinding.

Will find myself in Gulliver once I reach Hull.
I have to tag that movement code better.:P

Which tool do you guys use to create sprites for Q2? How can i create an sp2?

Quake1 uses FirmG to handel sprites. It has a lot of output extentions. Don't know if you can view q2 sprites with it. Quaketastic has a Firmg 0.2 under tools.
I'm not familiar with q2 sprites. It seems there's a program called:
Quake 2 Sprite Builder, but I couldn't find it.

I could really use a cli tool for that. Can't find anything, though. :(
Sp2
#19764 posted by Spike on 2018/07/19 20:32:16
if all else fails, just use a hex editor.
the format is basically trivial.
{magic="IDS2", version=2, numframes, {width, height, xoffset, yoffset, char pcxname[64] }[numframes] }
Yeah, sort enough to be able to commit to hunam memory, apparently.
Its the kind of format that should have just been a text file all along - hence .shaders being used for sprites in q3.
(q1 sprites are more complicated and also directly embed the pixel data. I don't recommend trying to hex-edit those...)
Floating Powerups

Anyone know how to make floating powerups in Quake 2? maybe there is some sort of brush I can set to collide with the powerup but not the player? Thanks

I have a problem with path_corner.
Can not use the "event" property. I set the "event" in the patch_corner, but when the func_trian leaves this point, there is no event. Is this the right name for the property?

Make sure you have the full Quoth 2.2.patch from here
https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/quoth/
THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM QUOTH 2 OR QUOTH 2.1 OR QUOTH 2.2!!
#19769 posted by anonymous user on 2018/07/26 16:03:01
If you have latest 2.2 patch or full then it should work. Make sure the event has a unique targetname. Wait key will also work on newest version

Yes, the event has a unique targetname. But still does not work

Event Bug

Do you have "wait" set on the path_corner? The page you linked says that event isn't compatible with that (it's really more an acknowledgement of a bug than a design decision, but still).

Maybe a silly question, but how do people get it so that textures on faces that aren't parallel to the grid don't stretch?

I use Valve mode to prevent that. You can convert to Valve format by using Eric's tools and you can also choose the format when creating a new map in Trenchbroom (drop down menu on bottom right when selecting the game for which you want to make maps).

Ah, the map format thingie. Thanks. Guess Valve is useful for something these days.

Hard to say what's going wrong without seeing the map itself then, email it over to me and I'll take a look...

Pardon me! I use my own utility for select a portion of the map and this utility changes "target" to other name.
I try simple compile and it works correctly.
Sorry once again!
