Mixed Face Contents w/Clip Created 18 years ago2006-07-21 10:15:32 UTC by Xal

I was reading thru the "Mapping Tips" tutorial and I came across the idea of applying the "clip" texture to all non-visable faces, to cut down on comiling time. I attempted this on my map and recieved a mixed face contents error. Is there any way to have a clip texture on part of a brush? If not, how are the maps in CS made so that you can't see the other side of the brush?

it's "null" not "clip"
Clip is just for stoping the player getting past. (such as jumping out of the windows in the trains at the start of half life.

Is there any way to have a clip texture on part of a brush?

No, the clip texture may only be applied on the entire brush, not partly. If a brush is partly covered with the clip texture and another texture, you'll get the mixed face contents error.

If not, how are the maps in CS made so that you can't see the other side of the brush?

That is done with the null texture. It can be applied on any brush, any face.

aah ok. thank you.

what wad file is the null texture located in?

Xal, edit button.

The null texture is located in zhlt.wad. This wad comes with any ZHLT installation. Check your Tools directory to see if its there.
