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.

Jago: 
Hmm 
I did find ArghRad quite easily, but I couldn't find GDDBSP and GDDVIS. Could anyone provide a direct link or send them to my email if you have them on your PC?

Metlslime: thanks. 
Re: Compilers 
Arghrad definitely.

As for the gdd compilers, i heard good things about them, but checked my old batch files and it seems i was still using qbsp3 and qvis3 when i last did quake2 stuff.

Mirrored Textures 
Is there some way to mirror a texture using gtkradiant? For example a texture thats only half an arch. 
Flip-Flop 
use a negative value for the X axis texture scale 
Hmm 
Im sorry but it seem that in the surface inspector there's no option for X axis texture scale. Only horizontal and vertical. Tried flipping the brush X-wise but the texture dont stick. Im useing ver 1.4 
Yes 
by X axis I meant Horizontal stretch. Sorry, i was thinking in terms of a paint prog. 
Niiiice!

I got a question for you.

As I mentioned before in GA thread, I got a new PC. Fitzquake started to render properly (080beta), but your glquake started not to render in the way that it should. All textures look grey, but lighting effects still exist.

Is there any solution for me? 
You Should Probably 
find out what kind of video card you have. 
Well 
I know it's all because of new video card. It's rather shite (all-uncluding-mega-motherboard), but is there any way to avoid this rendering problem without changing my videocard?

I have no idea, GLQuake doesn't require much to work. Have you tried the old GLQ 0.97 or other engines? Have you checked the console at startup for error messages or other info? Enable option -condebug for logging to file and send me the zipped file.

Having grey textures sounds a lot like a texture problem. Is it the same problem regardless of map?

Maybe you'd better send me all this info in an email instead.

No, that's not a texture problem. To be more correct I should say that every wall is just grey with no texes on it.

I wanted to do it, but I don't have a mail client so far (I'll get it tomorrow) so I decided to post it here first. I think I'll send you a mail with screenshots and more details tomorrow. 
By Texture 
problem I meant that the uploading of texes to the card doesn't work properly. Maybe a multitexture problem, try -nomtex option.

I did a quick search on usenet and suggestions were bad drivers (update available?), 16/32 bpp issues (try using same depth as the desktop) or even the classic 3dfx opengl32.dll file (should be removed from the GLQ dir if you don't have a 3dfx). 
Ms2 Mesh Files For Glquake 
what's the deal with .ms2 files being generated in glquake? does each computer generate a unique file that only works on their computer, or can these ms2 files be packaged in a .pak file so that players don't have to sit and wait for all the new models to mesh the first time? 
PuLSaR

It sounds like what you're seeing is the lightmap. Which implies that the textures aren't being loaded at all. 
Necros 
AFAIK the meshes are only depending on the mdl file so they can be pre-made and distributed with the pak. Note that only mdl files in the progs dir (not subdirs) are meshed. Also note that some engines don't use the mesh files at all; they rebuild from mdl each time.

haha, don't i know it. ;) 
Oh And... 
can't believe i forgot, but thanks for clarifying that. :)

haha, don't i know it. ;)


:P 
Fitzquake HUD 
I keep losing it: it's there when I start but as soon as I move, it disappears. Drop the console and it comes back, press escape and it comes back. But as soon as I move in-game it goes.

I haven't knowingly changed anything. Any ideas? 
Mike? 
gl_clear is on? although fq is supposed to fix that, and it does on my computer... 
Necros 
Thanks, if I type 'gl_clear 1' at the console my HUD remains on.

Anyone know why it changed or how to fix it permanently? 
Mike 
did you try different vidcard drivers?
or maybe different fq resolution/bpp?
