Short a bunch of surfaces Created 19 years ago2004-11-10 17:25:54 UTC by Tetsu0

darn. my first compo, and im having such a big problem that i need to seek professional help from youz guys'. ANYWAY i compiled my map. No vis, no rad, (im making the eiffel tower here would take hellova long time for vis/rad to run) and i spawn in the level, and i see like...halk of my structures, and the floor in the back corner is black.. er i get the short surfaces message up top left of my screen, it was around 700 at one point. Any way. its really aggrevating so i tried to turn all my brished into func_walls and i think it got worse. Any help is surely appreciated.
i feel like a noob

dont run in software mode? change your graphics mode to opengl

sigh
I wish I didn't have to ask this question: how do i put it in openGl?

Where are the visual options.. its just the 2d, 3d, general, textures.. etc nothing about visual options.

NEVERMIND. i have located help on mIRC and im all good now..

You might want to run VIS and RAD so the compile tools can figure out what the player's seeing.. but as I told you on irc, it'll be trikky trik.

Visual options may not be the exact word, but then again, you didn't tell whether you were using Steam or not. I believe it's pretty much intuitive to look at the visual/graphical options.

Sometimes it's better to experiment for yourself, than to ask immediatly. Knowing how and where to search is a vital part of mapping, if you want to continue of course. It may take some time to learn that, but it's worth the effort.

I did experiment. And im sorry if i didnt specify that im not testing on steam. But i heard that the judge tests in sftware mode so i need to get the null textures from the .wad pack. Horray yet another thing i have to do :-p. As always you have been a big help, and CP, now i WILL try stuff before resorting to the forums. Thanks

Eiffel tower? That sounds like an awesom map, I would like to play that one once its on .bsp. If you like, you can send me it over email, or just put it in the map vault.Good luck making it!
