If than is doing what I think he's doing (long output of an edicts command), then the savegame method would also work just as well : - )

the log file write was really damn slow in fitz when I called the edicts command. Took 5-10 seconds for quake to become responsive again. I guess the savegame method is faster :)
Licence Que
#7639 posted by madfox on 2008/07/06 14:39:19
I was wondering how far the restrictions of licences are. Nowadays quake1 is far concerned free to play with, as with all the monsters in it.
But when I create a monster, which has properties that look close to the Quake3 world and is not suported licence free, can I still publish them?
This for the monster bones I created. And although there are lot of parts I had to recompile, it still asambles a monster of the Q3 world. Therefore I am not licenced to publish it.
Not that I want to light up this licence war again, I just want to be sure before I publish a map with it, and get backed off again because I had to know this fact.

Aren't going to sue you for making retro-Bones.
Alot of their tactics are set up so that a community like this could exist.
Looking forward to the map.
So

Ut3 Jumppad Problem
#7642 posted by Jago on 2008/07/12 01:29:35
I am following this tutorial here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IpxwsD8X64&feature=related precisely, to the letter, but somehow the thing refuses to work. The jumppad does appear in the game and does emit an ambient hum sound, but it doesn't actually launch me in the air even tho it's linked to a PathNode.
What could I be doing wrong?
#7643 posted by JneeraZ on 2008/07/12 11:46:31
It could be you are trying to launch yourself too high and the engine can't create a good path. In the editor, turn on paths (hit 'P') and select the jump pad. That will draw the jump arc in the editor. If nothing appears, try lowering the strength of the jump pad and see if it works better.
I had a bitch of a time getting the pads in DM-BioHazard to work because of this.
Another Lazy Question...
#7644 posted by sikkpin on 2008/07/14 20:28:55
What has changed in modern qbsp utilities that keeps the polys on the backside(facing the void) of sky brushes from being removed and merging with the surrounding geometry? For example, all id, hip, rogue and even some levels made in '96 - '97 sky brushes behave like normal brushes. Have they become an entity now?
I'm assuming here that it's something with the bsp process.
Here are screenshots to compare:

I think I remember reading that id's QBSP had a bug that make projectiles explode on sky brushes or something. They fixed it before releasing the tools to the community.

Looks just as I want it to, except for the fact the brush on the left is missing the ceiling as you may be able to see...

Not too clear from the editor shot, but I'd suspect that there's some sort of brush interference there.
Those two six-sided shapes, try cutting them into wedges in the top view.
It also looks like you've got concave brushes at the top of the top view, if so then change those to wedges as well.
I mean keep the same shape, but made out of more (but simpler) brushes.
#7652 posted by KamiKaze on 2008/07/18 23:04:02
So instead of clipping a single brush multiple times, If I split the brush into different brushes where each new vert starts, it will render properly?
I always answer my own questions 5 minutes after posting.

Leaks
#7654 posted by KamiKaze on 2008/07/20 08:02:30
Hm.. I don't want to start spamming this board, but I have a leak right now, and I just can't figure out where it is.
I loaded the pointfile and it does not lead you to a hole and does not enter the playing area.
I've spent the last half hour examining the area it seems to vaguely point to, but I really can't see anything either in the editor or the game.
Any ideas?
If you wish to do so, feel free to have a look at the .map file:

Odd.
Absolutely nothing shows up in Radiant when I open your map. I opened it in Q3 mode too, just in case you were editing it in q3 .map format. Still nothing there.
Then I tried compiling it. Compiled fine, apart from the missing texture wads on my machine ( so I modified the worldspawn info so some of the textures would show up ).
There was no leak.
It's such a small and orthogonally constructed volume that I can't see why there'd be a leak or similar error. At least, not one that you'd have any trouble finding.
I suspect something else may be causing problems. But the only thing I can see that looks at all odd is that you specify the wads to be .hlwad format. Is this a worldcraft thing? Are you using half-life compilers or what?
Looks nice btw.
Yes
#7657 posted by negke on 2008/07/20 10:45:48
It's related to the compiler tools. Use aguirRe's instead.

The best I could find via google was this page:
http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k/
..And I unzipped some of the files there and overwritten anything that was in the 'quaketools' folder and changed to the just downloaded build tools, but the same thing happens. No vising performed.
I'm using Worldcraft 3.3 with the Quake Adaptor thing. After build, I run the map through WinQuake.
