So I'm testing my skin in progress, have added it to the MDL, then it's going in a custom pak. QME has a limit of 20 frames, cannot export Ogre.mdl and MDL 'Quake Model Editor' says 'floating point overflow' :|
If you're just looking to swap the skin on a model, adquedit will suffice. But because it's such a handy program to have around in full, I'd recommend getting the full version of QMe. t's handy for editing the mesh or animations of a model, plus gives you a preview of the skin on the model straight off. Add to that the two click removal of any fullbrights, and it's more useful than anything else. The full version of 3.0 can be found at http://www.edgefiles.com/files/9100.html
You can use the patch that comes with the 3.1 demo to turn this into the full version of 3.1. Thanks about the full QME but the file is not at any of the servers linked there. I'll go hunt around for adquedit.
What is it that the doors are doing/not doing wrongly?
I can see that you have some multiple-triggers that seem to be unattached, but give us a clue and someone will help. Here's some shots of some terrain I'm working on using the triangle method. Generally I'm doing this in seperate groups of tris and then join all them together at some point.

Could you circle the area you see this in? Worldcraft reports no problems, and neither does quake. I've made a flatter, bigger mound recently.
When using the triangle method is to never have more than three triangles sharing the same point...otherwise it can look too artificial.
There's a good tutoral map at gamedesign.net for doing the triangle method. I am the definitive Quake resource on this board because they pay me to glue models together at Raven. But when the Bobs stop by Madison, I'll have the same fate as Michael Bolton.
Good rule of thumb? Try "geometrically impossible".
Six, maybe (four is the minimum). I'd be more inclined to fuck rules of thumb off entirely in this case. Are you confusing me with Starbuck again? (Hint: same colour name != same person)
No, but if you have the same 1st letter and the same number of letters in your name, then you're the same person ;) I got a *** WARNING 22: Healing degenerate edge at (43 -168 224) in all 3 hulls in a map I'm working on. Your tooltips say to not really worry about it, but I'm wondering why I'm getting this error now when I haven't gotten it before. I have indeed changed a couple things, but none of them were in the region that gave the warning.
having such warnings pop up or disappear while changing seemingly unrelated stuff. It can be the editor shuffling things around in the map file or qbsp balancing on the edge due to the float calculations.
Most likely you don't have to worry about it, otherwise check out the position in hull 0 and see if you can find any off-grid vertex. Hulls 1/2 will probably follow a fix for hull 0. You could also try Tyrann's new qbsp; it has a lot of changed logic that might help. No, but if you have the same 1st letter and the same number of letters in your name, then you're the same person ;)
Starbuck is Shambler! I just wasted a good hour of my night trying to prove a point, but it was all worth it.
You'll notice that no more than 3 of the "terrain" triangles share any point. You'll also notice that you have the ability to move through some of the brushes, despite the fact that there are no func_illusionary brushes :( It will eventually compile without those brushes that you can move through if you play with the size and style of the troubled brushes a bit. The http://blitz.circa1984.com/terrain.zip P.S. I suspect that this map file would work flawlessly (i.e. without the move-through-able brushes, in Q2 or Q3) You'll notice that no more than 3 of the "terrain" triangles share any point
You'll notice the pertinent inclusion of quotation marks around the word 'terrain' :P No more than 3 triangles share a vertex because this isn't terrain, it's a path.
