That was fun. 

I tried edgefriction -4 but it didn't seem to do anything. :/ What is it supposed to do? 

walk up to an edge. 

I see now. Coagula was not a good map to try that on.

*** ERROR 42: Didn't split the polygon in SubdivideFace

ok, get this error in bsp, and i'm wondering how on earth you pinpoint this sucker down. 

You'll have to locate faces that have low texture scaling values, < 0.2 is usually problematic.

If you can't find the offending value(s), you can use my ConvMap utility at http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k to set a minimum texture scaling value. Beware that this might make some textures look misaligned. But that might still be easier to fix than manually finding the culprit face(s).

The best thing is if your editor can help you trace bad scaling values, e.g. I think QuArK can do that. 

looks like i already ran into that problem... :) thanks again, aguiRe!

i'll try the convmap approach. 

Is there a way to swing this, or do I just have to shuffle all my texes into one .wad file? I tried adding a "wad" key to a brush with two filenames, and adding one key to two different brushes, but neither worked. 

but fisrt, a wad is not a property of a brush, it's a property of the worldspawn.

the main problem is that radiant has a small area to type the value of a key-value pair, so really long strings (like two wad paths concatenated) might be too long to type in.

Solution: do it in wordpad. Radiant handles this approach fine; i guess it's just the text entry field that is too short. 

Or you could put the wads near where you compile your maps, and use relative pathnames. 

Yeah you just add the .wad to the worldspawn, and separate different wads by ;
eg id.wad;rogue.wad


"the main problem is that radiant has a small area to type the value of a key-value pair, so really long strings (like two wad paths concatenated) might be too long to type in."

Nah, not true, I've had 5 wads typed in there, miles of room left. But you may have that problem if you leave the window the default size I guess, I have mine almost full screen 

So all I needed was a semi-colon? R4wk -- thanks guys =)

haha. Neato. I didn't realize that. :)

If you have your wads in C:\jimmy\program files\games\quake\id1\maps\wads\ and link to the full pathname, then I could see how you would still be limited to just a few, but at least you could fit in the whole pathname this way. ;) 

Does anyone know of textures for any game which fit the following criteria?

-Dark
-Mostly grey, black, white, not much color, but NOT brown or grimy (no steampunk or the like)
-must by tech, scifi oriented
-pipes and tubing a plus. ;) 

sort of like the stuff you see in startrek firstcontact with the borg. 

elite force, err elite force 2 :D 

avp, avp2 

i don't know how to get the textures out of avp2, tbh...

and i do have the demo of elite force. heh, never occured to me. :P 

never watcher startrek
bu check http://www.planetquake.com/speedy/textures.htm
maybe you could use them 

sounds like the Imperial aesthetic from Star Wars:

The only color tends to be on the consoles and that's either red panels or blue text. 

hm... well, i might grab a couple of the textures from your set speedy, but i don't think i'll use the whole thing... it's a little too bright without enough pipes and techy stuff.

i think i'll stay away from starwars textures... they look like they only really work in the sw universe, and i don't want my map to become a starwars map... :)

what's the texture set that Killazontherun used for this unfinished map?

Is this them? http://www.ravengames.com/images/eliteforce/screenshots/eliteforce_shot-03.jpg

some of evil lair's textures might match what you were looking for too, not that I really remember your description of what it was yuo wanted....
