"I seriously think I might make a map using a tool that doesn't exist and that I don't know how to write, but I imagine someone else on func will write it for me." 

One last question: is it possible to make an elevator (func_door) so that when it goes down (activated by a button), it stays down, and has to be once again activated (by another button) to go back up? I tried the "Stays open" value but that prevented it from going back up altogether. 

it will do what you want. :) 

Tyrlight 99c is crashing on a specific plane in my map, consistently, only in colored light mode. Is there any way I can trace that back to a brush, or whatever else might be causing it? I really don't have the patience to just start fucking with random brushes and 'jiggling the handle' until I maybe get a result. 

 

I asked previously (#6385) about how to take screenshots so that the weapon doesn't show and I received a reply in #6386. However, is there any way to fly/walk around the level in a spectator mode so that the monsters cannot see you? I'd like to snap a few shots with monsters posing in them but so that they're not trying to shoot me. 

i think if you type 'notarget' they won't see you. also set crosshair 0, r_drawviewmodel 0, viewsize 120, and fov 105 or something. afterwards you'll probably need to brighten the shots up a bit in photoshop (play with curves). 

shrinking the map down to smaller and smaller bits to isolate the cause of the error didn't help. tyrlite -lit crashes within the first few dozen faces no matter what map I compile with it, even maps with no lights.

trying other BSPers in advance doesn't help, so it's probably not a compatibility issue there. tyrlite 0.99c has in fact been confirmed to work when compiling a map with a .lit, right? 

bamb is getting the same crash in a different map on a different computer. apparently it's tyrann's fault! 

...as am I. Thank goodness I'm not as stupid as I thought. It crashes out at 12-20 faces for me. 

look up the Quake cheat codes(noclip/notarget), and set sv_altnoclip 1 (works in Fitz and aguirRe�s engine), then you can fly around using the mouse like in Q2. 

Well, the map is finally done and I no longer have to bug you with stupid questions! See the news section for details (well, in a moment at least).

Thank you all for help. 

Hey guys, I might not hang out here much anymore, but I still take bug reports. Someone email me a map which is killing my light util and I'll fix it. 

are we using it wrong? 

Send an email 

he can place a single brush and press 'hollow' and it'll crash his compiler. that's all we've had to do. 

How do I change the gravity for a map in WorldCraft 3.33? 

Map, Map properties and then Gravity.

Default is 800, and I think Ziggurat of Vertigo is at 300. 

and don't forget to use a towel. 

custom gravity won't work without custom code...

unless preach knows one of his many secret map hacks :) 

I need a texture that looks similar to the clock texture in the rogue missionpack. Does anybody know ewere to find or if such a texture exists?

thanks 

the Rouge pack havung a clock texture, but there is one in the Scourge of Armagon pack. It may be worth checking out. 

I compiled with light options -soft -extra4

If there is an easy way to get rid of those using compiler options I would love to do it. I won't change anything on the map because it is supposed to be finished. ;) 

 

Sorry I meant hipnotic not rogue
