Two func_door entities next to each other (touching, door_dont_link NOT set), one for each side of the actual door. First door has to be triggered to open and displays the message when touched, the other one has health and opens when shot (only from one side).
Wouldn't that work (haven't tested it)? That will work in a similar way. The message for the back door will disappear as soon as the door is opened either by trigger or by shooting. Also it means you can't hijack the way that the back door behaves when you shoot it, but if you're sending the message on touch, that's less of a problem.
i'm using that, without message triggers. Wait, can doors have a message?
/me checks i'm such a q1 mapping noob :( it doesn't seem to work here, skip surfaces always stay and it's always reporting

What are the other possible pitfalls? I assume your WAD file contains a texture called "skip"? Because if you hand edited the MAP file then QBSP wouldn't find the skip texture and it would assign it the default checkerboard which might cause the skip tool to fail.
That's probably not helpful but there you go! ah, that makes sense - why would the bsp replace the texture though? That doesn't seem to make a whole lot sense ;)
It doesn't replace it necessarily but since it can't find a texture called "skip" in the WAD file it nulls out the reference and the game draws it as a checkerboard (the default texture). You should get an error when you try to QBSP that MAP file saying something about the SKIP texture wasn't found...
the replacing part doesn't make much sense.
q3map just assumes a default texture size (so the uvs are scaled wrong) but leaves the face intact otherwise. There's a
basically, if a texture is not in the wad, qbsp doesn't create an entry in the bsp, and if it's not in the bsp, there will not even be a name that can be read by engines/tools.
iv got worldcraft 3.3 with the addon that lets u map for quake, but i cant seem to compile my map, i get a error in each and every step of the compilation process.
Give some details, and there may be a solution!
One thing I will say is that the WorldCraft process window has always been a problem, and it would be recommended that you run your compiling programs under a command prompt (i.e. start> programs> accessories> command prompt - then: cd c:\(insert your txqbsp (mapname) vis -fast (mapname) ==> "-level 4" instead of "-fast" for full compile light (mapname) OK, so you may well know all of the above already :P Please specify the error for more help :-) i used to have a batch compiler for hl1 i could get it again u think that would work betteR?

This way the only dir that Worldcraft crappy process window has to look is the one folder that all of the files are in!
http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=dxr4mm4cicn&thumb=4 Although I will say: "** Parameters: "c:\quake\ id1\maps\testmap1&q..." what the hell is the &q doing at the end of this line? Heh - I don't know! This is a stupid one: - does the dir c:\quake\id1\maps\ exist on your PC?? (I assume so, but you never know!) From the log it seems that the error first occurrs during the copy file process - because of this none of the other tools will work because the file did not copy to the destination folder, which is where the compilers are looking for the file.... Hmmm yea, those dir's all exist on my pc lol actually i manually put all the files there myself to try and fix the issue. ill try doing what you have done to fix the issue and if that doesnt work, ill try my batch compiler.
use a command prompt!
You have more control over each step of the comiplation process this way! Just stick all of yer tools in a folder like "c:\quaketools\" or something, then in Worldcraft go: file> "export to then save it in "c:\quaketools" then run from the way I described in my first reply, or write all of the commands in a batch file and run the batch file, i.e: open notepad and write: @echo Compiling testmap1 @echo Running... @QBSP testmap1 @vis testmap1 @light -extra testmap1 @echo Finished! Now copy the save this file to c:\quaketools as a If this seems very patronising of me then I'm sorry! Im sure one of the other guys will know a simpler solution!! :P ill try all solutions and which ever one works the best, ill use that one from now on lol thanks guys.
tryed writing the bat file u suggested even copyed and pasted what u said to write and ran it , and the command window just opened and closed no bsp.
Well, the error is right the first command where the
Make 200% sure these folders are the right: C:\BSP\Quake\Bats\ c:\quake\id1\maps\ hold on i might done your way the wrong way i didnt type it in command promt i just double clicked it afterwards lol
the "nomapversion" program is not important, all it does is remove a key from the enitity "worldspawn" which is "mapversion" "220"
This is not critical, it will still run just fine in Quake. Putting your The error report from your process window could be re-posted here, because there is a limit to the size of one word on this messageboard, so if you re-post the error log but put some spaces in to break up the large strings of characters, we will be able to see the complete filenames.... That might help.
