HLFix for Source Created 18 years ago2006-06-15 22:30:27 UTC by TawnosPrime

I've got a ramp and a set of stairs (trying to decide which looks better). Both go up but also curve at a 90 degree angle, one right, one left. I used the Vertex Manipulator to create both (started w/ an arch. Also, underside of stairs is like ramp, smooth) and they display find in the Hammer 3D View. However, after compiling them, they become jagged in the map. I was wondering, is there a file like HLFix for the original engine, but in a Source version?

Can noone help here? Are we limited to Valve's default program? Must I try and <plays awminus music> model my stairs/ramp?

Can you post a screenshot? Perhaps it's a case of malformed brushwork. If not, though, yep, modelling is the option ;(

I've got some here.

WARNING 14 images here, in thumbnail form. I do like to the .php

These are the items in question. I've got two angles on each so u can get an idea of what they look like. I'm trying to choose between them.

Here is each one as they appear in Game (left) and Hammer (right).

There you go. Hope that's enough to fill u in. I really hope this can be resolved w/o models. I'm still trying to learn XSI.

go with the stairs.

Really? I was leanin' towards the ramp. The slope on it looks cool for what the building is, a forward outpost at a secret high tech facility.

and for the problem, you probably have invalid faces. did you make the top of the stairs and the smoth bottom out of the same brush? becasue you can't do that and not have invalid solid structures.

Yes, I did. So that explains the stairs, possibly, but what about the ramp? I took the stairs, each level of which is it's own brush, and flattened it parallel to the smooth bottom to for the smooth top, yet it also becomes disfigured.
