any one got any ideas on how i can fix this?
ive tried many tutorials and it still wont help.
Hi kgbdino!
It is a map with a building and 4 floors and elevators. If you like the elevators, I can send them to you in a .map file.
Trevlig helg! (have a nice weekend)
//Loffy
The elevator is probably a set of brushes converted to a script_mover. Check if it has the âsolidâ spawnflag set first.
If that doesnât work, try to use the texture you used on the elevator on some other brush. There are textures that are non-solid.
@Loffy Yes the Box âsolidâ is checked/marked.
il see if the map helps me thnks
@kamikazee the texture i use i also used on the floor and the floor is solid.
hello again people.
sorry for being away for so long but my map on the plaza has taken much of my time and so has school.
well then lets go.
i have a problem,i am trying to fill the open spot under the bevel and over the blue roof
how can i do that?
You can put a straight âsurfaceâ over the bevelâs sides using the Endcap tool in Radiant. This will create two endcaps (2 surfaces) on each side of the bevel you selected before you ran the tool.
What if you should make it like a sort of round hotel? You have some rooms withs beds 
a restaurant downstairs, a lobby and a swimming pool and etc 
That would be great :eek: !
well im not shure exactly how you ment it but after some tries i managed to get it to work. but please dont ask me how i dont know :???:
what tool do i need to use to free transform a brush? and where in radiant do i find it?
thnks.
âto free transform a brushâ You mean to cut a brush? Or to rotate it?
Cutting is done with the Clipper, hit âxâ and cut the selected brush in the 2D-window.
Rotating is done in the menu (Selection, then Rotate).
When I was new, I downloaded and studied some great âmaking quake mapsâ-videos from www.3dbuzz.com
They are free, but you have to register at 3dbuzz.
They are for quake, but it works for ET too! You will learn how to clip and rotate and many other things.
The editor also comes with a manual. http://www.qeradiant.com/manual/Q3Rad_Manual/
These tasks are described in it too.
Keep on mapping, 'cos I want to see Dino Plaza!
//Loffy
ok thnks loffy you always helped me
btw when i say âfree transformâ i am talking abaout taking one of the corners dragging it so the brush gets a dofferent shape
Keep on mapping, 'cos I want to see Dino Plaza!
i am going to post screenshots soon just need to make some more things + get some textures
Ah, I see.
That is called Drag, and it also described in the manual.
Drag Vertices (Menu: Selection > Drag Vertices) (Shortcut: CTRL + V) This highlights the corner vertices of a geometry brush, marking those corners with a green "handle" box where the sides of each brush face connect. Press again and the feature will toggle off. Pull on a handle to resize part of a brush. If Snap-to-Grid is active (Menu: Grid), the handle will usually snap to the nearest grid coordinate as it is pulled. Undo does NOT function with this effect.
I reapeat that Undo does NOT function with this effect.
also please note that:
Design Note: Drag Vertices is a balky tool at best. It works well if the user is manipulating a triangular brush face, raising or lowering corners of the triangle. Work with care, it is quite easy to pull a brush out of useable (or recoverable) shape.
Save often.

And click on the âbrush cleanupâ button like you would get payed for that 
Shaderman
Another thing about Vertex-editing: it pays out a lot to block the directions in which you DONâT want the corners of the brushes to move. So for example when I vertex-edit terrain, I always click on the X and Y buttons to make sure the corners will only move in the Z-axis direction.
And v51 to shadermanâs remark about the brush cleanup.
thanks guys that helped now the screenshots are only a week or 2 away
(if i am lucky)
youâre talking such a long time about the map now, i hope it will be a nice one, i look forword to the screenies
btw look at our signatures, the blue border, arenât they the same, did you copy them from my sig? i donât mind but you should ask these stuff, iâm sorry if you didnât copy it.
good luck with your map
umm i am guessing u mean manipulating it in almost any way you want. in taht case select the brush (brushes) and press âvâ to show vertexes (plural??) and then you can select each vertex and drag it around in the different views till you get the shape you want. but some very weird and complex shapes arnt possible
@ weebull
yeah when i look close i see that they are the same but i didnt copythem from you (as i knew of) i found your sign image on my pc and i thought it would be cool having them but i didnt know where the image came from
i guess my brother must have seen your sign and saved it
if you want me to remove it i will.
@commando
thnks but how do i select and drag one of the vertics in any direction? i onlu manage to drag it in a staright lin on either the z, y, or x-axis i cant drag it a bit in z and a bit in x or y or any other combination.
@dime
what is a concave shape? ive heard of it but i dont know what shape it is.
for all of you i only need some interior and some textures and then i go mad with âcameraâ
any ideas for textures?
