I'd be worried about more than my underwear fit if my genitals had the ability to bunnyhop. O_o 

it's a Latin thing, and the Ladies love it! 

I just remebered that in the Bsp.ini file (I use BspEditor) there is a setting to resolve the 45degree problem.

In version .94, I noticed that it is switched off by default: texture_alignment=0. So you need to change it to texture_alignment=1 and that avoids the problem.

Obviously, only relevant if you use BspEditor. 

using the latest bspeditor for texturing because of those discrepencies. In GTKRadiant the texturing tool, the surface inspector, is geared towards q3map2 capabilaties, and when I see everything looking hunkydory in the editor and then screwed up in game, it is a bit of kneebiter. 

In 1.4, edit this line in local.pref

<epair name="Q3Map2Tex">true</epair>

In 1.5, I think it's an option in preferences. 

<epair name="Q3Map2Tex"> true </epair>

With no spaces. 

I've tried that and I've been making a test map. The way it works reminds me of good old QeRadiant, but that is what I need! 

aguirRe's excellent engine shows the edict count of a map when a map is loaded.

What gets counted as an edict, for the purposes of maintaining compatibility with glquake/winquake?

My guess:

1. Monsters
2. Platforms/doors/triggers
3. But not lights except dynamic lights (torches)

Am I close? 

the edict list consists of all entities in the map that haven't already been removed or made static. e.g. lights are removed on map spawn, except those associated with models, e.g. torches - but torches are made into static ents and hence don't contribute to the edict count either. Switchable lights however need to be interacted with, so are not removed and hence stay as edicts.

Any entity that is spawned during gameplay, e.g. a nail or rocket, is just as much an edict as one that spawns on map load, e.g. a monster. This is why maps that are already close to the edict limit on map load can be taken over the limit with lots of gibs or missiles flying around.

when an entity is removed, an edict slot is freed from the list and can be filled again by a newly spawned entity at a later date. 

enable scr_showedicts 1 to see the current active/max edict count in the map. It's the max count that must be <=600 to have the map playable in the original GL/WinQuake. 

In my upcoming engines, I've added an alternate edict re-use policy to delay edict re-usage as much as possible to help catch some difficult QC errors. Together with the check for accessing free edicts, it's a lot easier to track edict morphing issues. 

I can't get those off the evilllll fileplanet. I need alternet direct download location. Does anyone have one?

The old QMap pass doesn't work, so try these if you want files:

login: Func_MsgBoard
pass: Shambler 

What is the best way to go with aligning textures on angled/skewed brushes?

I remember this topic was discussed on func a month or two ago but I can't find it. 

rotation is your friend. Usually you will be rotating 45 (1:1), 27 (2:1) or 63 (1:2) degrees. Textures will normally still be skewed if the brush is angled on more than one axis (e.g. a curved trim that is sloped upwards) so the best thing to do is to use a fairly plain texture that doesn't have too much detail that would make it look obviously skewed. 

until recently that Worldcraft (versions 3.3 and above) have a nice set of buttons on the texture properties dialog:

Textures can be fit across one face or multiple faces, or aligned to the left, right, top, bottom, and center of faces with a single button click.

I don't know why, but for some reason the texture alignments I make in Radiant for this angled stairtrim <href=http://biff.leveldesign.org/pics/base_defuckt.jpg>here</a> don't look the same ingame. I've heard from SPoG that it could be a compiler error, but I'm not sure what to do if it is, and if it is. Gah. 

I obviously fucktangled the link to my illustration, so here: http://biff.leveldesign.org/pics/base_defuckt.jpg 

...I get that sort of thing when I forget and try to use an angle that is not an integer. 

if the editor lets you set floating point rotation values. The map format (or maybe the tools) only allow integer rotation values. 

which one? Is it the tools or the map format that restricts texture degrees to integers? I am sure I don't know :{ 

What could I do in this case? 

when i have an angle like that that isn't on a integer rotation, I sometimes break the span into two smaller chunks, and bend the texture slightly at the middle, so that it follows the shape more closely. Or adjust the geometry to have a different slope (sometimes the geometry can't really change, though.)
