It is getting a bit wierd indeed... Its like a ghost thread that only 2 people can see....

Or you can think of it as beeng really special and actually knowing what's going down here ;)

Place hint brushes along lines of sight, as diagonals, and make then 'cut' or 'overlap' a bit into the walls to make them work

Yes,
I think i should point out that if you want the player to be puched up, then you need to make him jump, or fall slightly, to 'catch the air'

otherwise, you'll just walk through like nothing's happening

make a trigger_hurt stuck to the wall - not literally,

like this
:

||

the non bold beeng the trigger hurt, not set the 'touch or someother
flag in the trigger hurt properties, now you have the illusion of the player hetting hurt when they hit the wall

don't forget to give the track train an origin!

as you would to a rotating door, the origin in the train acts as the point of reference with the path_tracks

Env_message is more flexible in tearms of changing the text...

just modify the titles.txt from the pak,

and don't forget to distribute that with your map !

Make it a func illusionary, same properties, cover it with another brush totally covered in the 'clip' texture ( "clip" ) and now you can shoot through it, but can't walk through it

Sometimes this can reduce entity counts, but its hard to know when to use this or not, my advice is stick to single entities and not big huge ones.

in Annoying R_speeds thing... Post #8558
Uuuh.. That doesen't look very healthy ;)

Upload the map, so i can look at your laylout and vis blockers...

You should really be compiling maps with full vis for final compiles, since fast and normal usually leave errors in the visibility, which leads to some mishaps in the lighting.

in level changing doesn't work. Post #8515
Uh, nasty,

Did you compile through hammer and ran the hame to test the change?

Did you read the levelchange tut ?

Also, if you're mapping for TFC, or trying to run the levelchange through a multiplayer mod, then you shold not have any levelchanges in in the first place... Only singleplayer maps should have levelchanges.

an .rmf file is the file hammer uses, then it exports it to a .map file, which all the compile tools use, the compile tools write a .bsp which is your map. (As anthony said)

Make sure you got rid of all the brush errors etc..
then if you're still getting problems, try splitting your map into seperate maps, read my levelchange tutorial ;)

in Sky Texture Post #8436
Hmm.. yes..
anyway, another point about sky:
It's actually, not solid, so if you switch off the option in the compile tools to clip it, then you can drown in it, but, it does look more realistic then, (does not produce bits and things when you shoot it)

in Annoying R_speeds thing... Post #8433
Well, the more wpolys you have the slower it takes ...

Run full vis, if you do not have any errors, it should not take more than 15-20min even for the complex maps

Some usefull Commands:

gl_wireframe 2
r_speeds 1
r_draworder 1 (software only)
r_drawflat 1 (software only)

the last one is handy for seeng how your brushes have been split

Also, try experimenting with hint brushes, and some laylouts in your maps to reduce r_speeds

that's all i can think of right now..

Try using the shear modifier of the brush can create some pretty complex brushwork, sometimes this can be used to great effect:
