This is a demonstration on how to make a moving subway tunnel, made by func_trains. Nothing new, but i think this is better than the conveyor method.
EDIT: sorry but the .bsp need some other wad; tomorrow i'll update with textures embedded.
Anyway the .rmf can be opened and the textures replaced.

The conveyor method has a great advantage:
Shadows are correctly rendered, creating the illusion of real-time lighting.

In Poke646, a combination of both methods was used, resulting in a very good trainride level. The subway tunnel was made with the conveyor method, while architectural details like lamps and signs were done with func_trains.

So, I don't think this method is 'better'. It's just more usefull in some occasions...

Ies, i know that Poke646 use func_conveyor for the main walls and ceiling, and small details with func_train.
But with the method i used you can add more variety, you can make a door into a part of a wall, vents in the ceiling...

Anyway yes, it depends from what it has to be done, btw, the func_conveyor method require less work, and less entities.

How do you embed textures.. Ive always wondered
Commented 20 years ago2004-10-11 04:27:48 UTC Comment #4391
Textures can be embedded using the command -nowadtextures with the compilers

Sorry but the site give me an error if i edit the map; i cant'upload a new version.

i always like the being in the train and all doors lock rumbles happen and light posts go by with countryside sky and noises so it gives a great illusion to moving then it opens the doors and your at the station

docrock made alevel like that called kitkat express
check it out on his site

If you use -nowadtextures then I reckon you're likely to be using Q-Tools and should immediately stop mapping or get ZHLT, available on the Links page. NOW.

The -nowadtextures is again into ZHLT 3.0 beta, even if is overrided by -wadinclude. I'll find that -nowadtextures is just more quick.
