Face splitting with a func_wall?! Created 20 years ago2004-08-02 08:39:04 UTC by Coolfat3459

I thought you couldn't get face splitting with entities. Is this possible? Because in a map of Life Gear there has been major face splitting coming from a func_wall. Well at least I'm pretty sure its coming from it. I checked and nothing else matched.

Entities can split faces that are part of the entity itself. They won't split up faces from other entities or from the world.

Look at it as 'groups'. Only brushes in the same group can split up each others faces. Each entity is a seperate 'group', and the world is a 'group' itself too.

This is a func_wall, of one block, splitting the face of a one block world brush. Doesnt that sound a little weird to you? To anybody?

No entity can split the world.
Maybe it's just the 240unit subdivide.
Also there is a maximum size for leaf nodes, default is 1024.
This causes a new leaf to begin every 1024 units, which results in world splitting too.

Well that must be it.

This also happens to me sometimes and I hate it. I'm a perfectionist, so I always want optimal face splitting.
Try running hlbsp with -maxnodesize 4096, thst might help.
If not your face is probably longer then 240 texels, did you scale the texture down?

Didnt change anythin about the ground from the defaults. Must be the nodes
