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.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

That's settled, mdl it is then.

Is the place to race.

Don't listen to the nay sayers, check it out for yourself 
Metlslime: 
Will there ever be a linux port of Fitzquake? I just converted to the ubuntu hippies and now I'm badly missing my favorite engine. 
Spirit: 
Doubtful, becuase i don't have linux. 
BUT LUNIX IS FREEE!!! 
 
Can Anyone Confirm 
if a Q1 trigger_counter is a point or brush based entity? There are many maps with either one, but it appears to me that it should be point based, just like trigger_relay.

In big maps the extra unnecessary brushes may put the engine over the bmodel limit. 
It's A Point Entity 
 
Thanks 
I noticed that your earlier maps used brush based ones and the later point based. My guess is that the WC fgd file suggested a brush based and that's why most WC created maps have brush based counters.

Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing. 
What Frib Said 
and it's only good for servers, not for usual home puter...

how to fugure out what brush causes a problem in terrain built by triangle method? Is is extended instead of its original size and covers all the floor in the room. It also wrote *** WARNING 03: Line 20930: Brush with duplicate plane.
But how to find that line 20930. I don't want to count from the top 
i use textpad.
you can skip to a line number. then look at the brush entry to find out what brush # it is, and then go into your editor, search for that brush number and delete it (or erase the brush entry yourself in the text editor). 
PuLSaR 
What necros said; use a text editor with line number handling like TextPad ( http://www.textpad.com ) and find the offending face and brush.

Some map editors include comments in the map file that can help you backtrack to the editor, otherwise you'll have to use the tex info and (if you're up for it) three-point face definition to find the brush in the editor.

However, I doubt that this particular face causes any trouble as it's just a duplicate plane and discarded by qbsp. It shouldn't cause any infinite planes. 
Well 
after 5th attempt I found that problem brush and deleted it. Though I still have no idea what was wrong with that brush.

And thanks for pointing me at textpad, downloading it right now 
The GTKRadiant Team 
has a genius, nay, a profound genius for creating bugs for Radiant that did not exist in previous packages.

I use 1.4 (I wont use 1.5 becaues it requires downloading and installing a WinXP .dll that screws up my system), and I've had minimal problems with 1.4 working on maps previously.

Tonight, I reset it to use the Quake2 settings, and the surface inspector does something really off the mark. Pressing 'S' to bring the surface inspector up works like a Control-Z combo reversing my previous texture work. This is, of course, less than useless to me.

I've never seen this happen before, so I assume it is unique to their Quake2 settings. Any suggestions? 
Hopefully A Simple Question. 
Y'know Quake, right?

Y'know e2m6, The Dismal Oubliette, right?

Y'know the room that lead down to the exit with the pillar in the middle and the slowly sinking floor where stuff teleports in as you go down?

What kind of thingy is the slowly dropping floor. Is it a slow lift/platform? or a "train"? Or some other kind of thingy entirely?

Thanks. 
I'm Pretty Sure It's A Func_door. 
Since it makes a door sound and all. 
Morfans 
i'm more than sure it's func_door
since it makes a door sound and all
(it might use negative 'lip' key to move that far) 
Thanks Guys. 
Yeah, it's a door.

It didn't occur to me that it might be a very big, very slow moving vertical door. :-)

Cheers, I owe you both one. (one of anything you desire...) 
Tron 
hey good to see you man!!! will you finish tromdm3??? doom3 suck :) finish the map...look like will be a great one!!! 
Rats On The Run 
finally got it working so far. Adding new monster, but now...

they only appear when I use a brush substraction. Otherwise I can hear them, but they are invissible. In an empty map they squeek but are probably stuck in the groundbrush.
When I put in one brush, they come out of the brush, and dissappear(?)
When I use notarget in a brush substraction, they just sit and wait, untill I press notarget again, then they're gone.

Quake101.wad 
I search for quake101.wad or qoole.wad ALL the Net for the last weeks but I can't found that files. I found some links but they are obsolete. If you can help me, please, answer.
Thanks,
Ciprian 
Quake101.wad 
Thanks Quake101.wad 
Also I post messages on almost ten forums. Finally, with your help, I found it. Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Ciprian 
Lost Rats 
then I posted the wad the same time on the Quake forum, Ciprian.

Those rats, could it be something with the MoveBox_Solid. As they vanish "into" the brushes?
