Strange Glitch In My Map

[gooball :D]

Hi all. I am making a map called Random (rg for short). I was on the last version (I hoped) and then I came across this:


(If u cant see it click on it)

Any ideas on how to fix this? BTW, I checked in GTK and it wasn't caulk.

Thx

Maybe overlapping brushes?

[gooball :D]

Nope, I checked.

[themuffinman]

missing brushes/buggy brushes/strange shaders?

[themuffinman]

And I thought you already released a map called Random ???

[gooball :D]

This is a new version WITHOUT MISSING TEXTURES.

[themuffinman]

Without missing textures? gooball, are you sure about that this time?

Delete the brushes there, put new ones in, make sure the brushes have all vertex points alligned to at least Grid 1, and make sure the shader you use hasn't got some strange properties like surfaceparm trans or something like that. I'm sure you've got leak spots too?

[gooball :D]

I deleted the old brushes and put in new ones, nothing. And no I do not have leak spots either. (And I don't have a "big box" around the map).

Upload your map then and someone can see what's wrong with it.

I remember getting that glitch a few years back usually from CSG subtacting like ape shit - worst feature ever!

Come to think of it, I did do a CSG Subtact around the windows...

I used Subtract way back when I used to make maps for Half-Life (the original one) and after discovering phantom walls, visual artifacts, other random glitches, and a dead goat on my doorstep, I quickly realized that Subtract was actually the Pinnacle of All Sin, breaking into our universe from beyond the void to consume all existence. Thankfully, I hit the undo button just in time to save the universe.

[gooball :D]

BTW, did any of you find the secret?

Ok, I fixed it. Thx

Uh... what was it? It's usually a good idea to say so other people searching threads will know the answer.

[themuffinman]

You should be real careful with subtract. I use it sparingly nowadays, only when I know I'm not going to get a million splits after using it! Try to use clipper instead.

Haven't tried the map yet but I sure hope this one doesn't involve a BFG + 5 million BFG ammos!

...and a dead goat on my doorstep, I quickly realized that Subtract was actually the Pinnacle of All Sin, breaking into our universe from beyond the void to consume all existence. Thankfully, I hit the undo button just in time to save the universe.

ahh, the infamous HOM glitch. rarely shows up, but sucks when it does.

dead goat on my doorstep

I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the goatsie died.
So bye bye...

Unexpectedly entertaining thread. How do you say in GD? Would read again.
