"see through" wall textures. Created 20 years ago2004-07-29 04:31:57 UTC by hiccups

ok what the hell?..i've partially completed some of my map and added enemies to test how well lighting, desing, etc works and when i kill the entity on one side its blood can be seen through the wall, however the entity itself is not. The blood is only visible from certain angles and certain distances and isnt visible when i stand right up close to the wall. i have no idea what is goin on.. so i need some help.

Mhh, the disappearing of decals on certain angles is something I've seen happen now and then too. I don't know what causes it.

As for the wall, is it a very thin wall? Can you describe the situation a bit more thoroughly?

Half-Life bug is the probable cause.

Graphics bug, either HL or graphics card. I'd say.

ok the wall is 3.5 squares big, on the smallest grid size. it could be my GFX card, better bloody not be, if i made a wall any bigger the player would feel about the size of a an ant. If it is a graphics bug in the Hamr engine is there a patch to fix it, such as sledge hammer to my goddamned pc.

Not a clue. You'll probably just have to put up with it.

gl_polyoffset 0.1

If this doesn't work, try -0.1, 1 or 20. This tells the driver how far to offset the decal from the surface of the polygon that the decal is being applied to.

Try this out, I had similar problems once.

you are running opengl arent you?

Hmm..interesting. It seems that the effect also was happening to HL itself. I uninstalled it and now it works fine. but thanks for the help. it would seem that if this problem happens again to anyone they should uninstall HL then reinstall it.
