One of the advantages of it if you're stuck with vanilla .map format is, you can rotate the prefabs at weird angles that would normally require valve map format to keep texture alignment, and the texture alignment will not get messed up.

along the same lines, you can map something complex in the prefab file, keeping it on-grid, then rotate the instance off grid, then go back and make further edits to the on-grid prefab file. 

I knew I just had to missing something. Seems it was alot of somethings! 

When you mentioned you added this did that means it's already in the binaries for use/download? 

I didn't do a new release yet, but there are dev build binaries here that have it (click on x64 or x86, then go to the "artifacts" tab). Only gave it a quick testing but it seemed to work fine. 

Muchas gracias :) 

With DarkPlaces I have no z-fighting with "_mirrorinside 1" set, everything looks fine.

But with Quakespasm there is z-fighting, from both the outside looking in and on the inside.

Was I supposed to make sure the brush doesn't touch other brushes? 

I think you need to make all of the faces "skip" except for the water surface. Qbsp doesn't clip bmodel faces against the world, so that's the cause of the z-fighting.
(in the past you had to use "*waterskip" as the skip texture for water brushes, or you'd get "Mixed content" errors, but with my qbsp you can just use regular "skip") 

Is this the same for *lavaskip? 

you can just use skip 

But another question, hehe... sorry :(

I think this is a side effect/limitation of the QCat play here, but items or brushwork inside the "water" don't have, hrmm how to say this... correct perspective? Does that make sense. They just look strange.

I've seen this before but can't remember what it was. 

I think it's a limitation of the QC; if you run it in an engine that has the swirl effect underwater like winquake, you don't get that with func_water, you only get the screen tint. I dunno if func_water is messing with the fov cvar or something? 

more of an engine limitation in that the vanilla engine doesn't bother to check submodels for pointcontents, both in the physics+qc builtin as well as clientside too.
(you also need a qbsp that doesn't claim water to be solid, along with generating inwards faces.)

one of the ladders mods has something like 3 different glitches relating to said mod's ladders (breaks at certain framerates, leaves players stuck in walls, etc.
so watch out for that. 

Is there any risk in using the 0.15.9 light binary with the rest of the 0.15.10 release? I've posted screenshots on the mapping help thread and github showing my reasons why.

Having all the qbsp improvements from 0.15.10 would be nice, after all... especially the func_detail fixes. 

The only problems would be stuff like: func_detail_illusionary will always cast shadows, and func_detail_wall would cause lighting issues if it's covering world geometry.

I would go for it; the func_detail fix in .10 is worth using.

Sorry I haven't fixed this earlier, also noticed some light seams in shib1.bsp that are probably coming from 0.15.10. Fixing the code or reverting the relevant parts will be my priority for the next version!

What's going on? 

 

let check if I can reproduce it 

I couldn't reproduce it. tried both 0.15.9 and 0.15.10's light. Mind uploading a sample to github? Hopefully this should be a quick bug fix. 

Emailed you a .map and .bsp/.lit

And yes, this is for the Christmas Jam :3c 

if you look just below your pic in the first link, there's a pretty badass fan art of Vader slaughtering Ewoks. 

Does _mirrorinside 1 not affect {fence textures? It's not working for me. Do I need both light and qbsp, I'm only using the qbsp from version 0.15.10 

It's not in 0.15.10, I posted a dev build link in though #910
Should work on fence textures 

Still didn't work. 

I had func_detail_fence, skip textured all sides except for 1, which had the AD vines.

Saw them from both sides. 

Would it be possible to have model->geo baking like q3's misc_model(static)
