Also the wireframe view remains! |

There is no Settings in Preferences, and why the bots don't use the jump pads in my level? |

In FFA they're going mainly for the items. In CTF they are attracted more by the flags and choose the shortest path to go for. |

It's the mytest2.map I uploaded, and it is FFA. I wish every FFA map in Q3 had CTF support, and vice-versa, since Doom maps have both Singleplayer, Coop and Deathmatch support. |

Maybe it's to cramped at the jumppad area. Bots only use jumppads if they land safely on the ledge. Without bumping their heads. ![]() You should make your maps in a much bigger scale. Give a little bit more space to navigate, for bots & humans. ![]() |

Oh, I forgot I have to reupload mytest2. It now have a HOM bug but no caulk, no leak. New version! |

Gustavo6046 wrote: It now have a HOM bug but no caulk, no leak. Your ramp-floor & ceiling vertices are off grid. This creates the HOM when you enter the ramp. If you still stuck in this wireframe 3D view, you probably can't see it in the editor. Delete the ramp floor & ceiling brushes & rebuilt it by hand. (no CSG Subtract) Note: Mappers should always turn on "r_clear 1" in Q3. This replaces the HOM with a bright magenta. So you can see missing textures or in this case little sparklies where the ramp floor connects to the rest of the world. This often points to misplaced vertices or broken brushes. There is also a small caulk-brush inside your BFG-balkony causing HOM. Note: Do not use "Hollow" or even worse "CSG Subtract". I know, with this functions, you can create stuff very fast. But the results are also very inaccurate. "Hollow" creates a lot of overlapping brushes with nasty z-fighting. "CSG Subtract" creates chaotic brushwork often with vertices off grid. (like your ramp) Use instead: Clipper (X) or DragEdges (E) or DragFace (Cotrol+LMB) to manipulate brushes. Bot jumppad problem: Bots are often a little bit lazy. They don't wanna do fancy stuff to reach the jumppad like: jumping onto 2 ledges. If you make them a small botclip-step between the 2 ledges, they will use it as stairs and finally reach the jumppads. (tested & confirmed) ![]() Caulk behind the curve: You should also put some caulk on the sides of the wall. Curves should not overlap other faces. Otherwise it will cause z-fights. Example how to do it: ![]() |

Oh thank you! I will try to make things by hand. Some safer way to make stuff quickly? |

Ok. How to mark actors as suspended? Render mode doesn't seem to affect worldspawn brushes. Released newest version (!), please align the jump pads, it is impossible at wireframe mode! |

Did you enjoyed mytest2? Please send feedback on: - What is wrong; - What could be better; - Suggestions in what to add; - Email (for receiving update notifications). |

Following the newest version, I made ramps instead, so it was easier for bots to use the jump pads. I need themjump pads to be aligned as in wireframe I can't do it! I also need to suspend the Invisibility powerup as it appears in the ground. And the Render Mode only affect the non-brush entites, but no polys show! |

That's strange. What video card? There is a bug with ATI graphics that cause disappearing polygons ![]() |

I checked that option much time ago. Happens I have an Intel HD Graphics. I forgot the rest. |

It is very bad when you have to do stuff with only wireframe in GtkRadiant. Maybe some other Radiant will show fully rendered brushes instead. |

Have you tried updating video drivers. Intel drivers are pretty shitty and sometimes hit and miss between versions. |

The auto detector says they're up to date. I really trust it. I hate Intel drivers on Windows 10 too, but I can do nothing. Oh, this also affects Minecraft! I can't launch due to "pixel format not accelerated", but this won't be discussed here for obvious reasons. |

Yeah, Win 10 and shitty Microsoft drivers. I think you can still return back to Win 7 or Win 8, don't you? |

Maybe after a month, but this already occured to me when I had Windows 8.1. |

In Radiant: Select the brush face (jumppad texture) in the 3D view with SHIFT+CTRL+LMB Fit texture with SHIFT+B or Surface Inspector ![]() ![]() ![]() But you must definitely get rid of the wireframe problem. Try another GFX driver (maybe an older version). Or use a desktop PC with a "real" GFX-card. You don't need a modern one. Even 10 year old hardware works fine with Radiant.

Four small copies of the texture appears instead of one, big jump pad when I Fit it! |

I remade Mytest2 to much more eyecandy in under 1 day. Why was the original .map file I uploaded some days ago downed either? EDIT: It was so cool I decided to make it oficially GusQ3DM3! I had to remove a music because it was from the Judas Priest.. I replaced with a roalty-free one instead. I was thinking of an easter egg to include the music credits... but instead I just made a text file. |

Sorry. It was actually gusq3dm5 but I misnamed it. Even then download and Feel the Power! |

Post subject: | Re: Help with Mapping: CTF, AAS and Music Problems |
I know now why the jump pad problem. My High Resolution Texture Package (HRTP) just halved the jump pad textures scale! It halves textures for "better resolution" whereas it comes with "fixed maps" where unproperly-scaled textures are fixed! |

Post subject: | Re: Help with Mapping: CTF, AAS and Music Problems |
I think the whole map is too small. Not the gameplay layout, but the scale. I feel like a fish in a small bowl aquarium. Nevertheless the textures, the map needs to be enlarged. The layout itself is good, make some tweaks to make it even better (e.g. the Quad spawns weird - swap the tele destination and the Quad?). What about Grappling Hook? I think it's not necessary here... The map is like rust7's Sewers of Fate, which is averagely the same size and similar quality (well, not looking to texturing). Larger scale will fix the player bumping to things around... |

Do you feel like this topic is starting to have to be locked? That's what I feel. But before: AAS isn't compiling for a map, and one of its floors is not colliding (I fall from the map if I try to step in it)! Does this correlate somehow? How to fix it? |
