Just a little noob question

(Walking Target) #1

I know this is noobish, but my english ain’t that good, in a tuturial i’m currently in, there stands shift+return… what kind of button is that :?

thnx for answering my question :smiley:

“return” = “enter”

as in the key you would press on a typewriter for the carriage “return”
also as in crlf - carriage return/line feed.
there is a doppleganger of this key on the number pad. it’s the same key you use in Enemy Territory to bring up the fireteam menu(Leave/Disband fireteam)

is this a tutorial about 2 and 3 point clipping? if that’s the case you need to hold down the “shift key”(there are 2 of these on a standard keyboard, one on the left and one on the right) and then press “enter” with the shift key held down.

yes it was about clipping. Thank you for the answer.

Ok another question then. I load my map in console, and then I fly in spec over it. Everything is fine, except for the ceiling I made, It supposed to be Snow. I did caulk it. What’s the mistake in here ?

(==Troy==) #5

you mean you have caulked terrain?

(Flippy) #6

You caulked the outside or the inside aswell?
Don’t caulk the inside obviously, it will make the walls invisible!

(Walking Target) #7

Yes in one of the tutorials I followed it said caulk the floor and the ceiling …

(Flippy) #8

That probably meant that you should caulk the OUTSIDES of the walls and ceilings.

The function of the caulk texture is simple: All faces with the caulk texture will not be drawn by the game.
It’s therefor best to always texture every side of a brush that will never be seen by any player (backside and sides of a wall for example) with caulk, because it reduces the amount of brushes the game has to calculate and draw thus giving you better framerates.

I guess they mean: caulk it and then add textures only to the visible parts.

fixed it all now.
I just ran into another strange thing. When I try to compile my map (make it a bsp) it… freezes or something. Everything loads swift, then I see a load of textures coming (witch is correct I use a lot of different ones). But it doesn’t make a bsp, it just say Map leaked and that’s it.

(==Troy==) #11

That basicly means that your map is leaked, meaning that it is not surrounded with structural walls to make a sealed “container”. Hence Make sure that the map volume is completely sealed with a structural brushes. You also need to include the spawn points and wolfmap object into the sealed volume.

yea thanks dude =)

(Walking Target) #13

this is really odd, when I try to test my map, and I spawn, I can’t move.

I can shoot stuff, but I can’t not walk.

I checked any brushes near the spawns, nothing is blocking.

Just wondering what I messed up again :lol:

Hope you can help me guys ?

Thnx in advance.

Sounds like the player is stuck in a brush. Try brush cleanup.
