I made it to the recommended! :stroggbanana: I thought the brief part was quite confusing tho. Hmm I made a little mistake in there. How stupid. :o

[shagileo]

Of course you made it to the recommended !! That was one of the best explanations I’ve seen so far.

What brief part are you talking about? Do you mean the ‘blocksize command’ post?
You made a little mistake? - People, are we recording this?

Always when one portal/area can see other, it works vice versa ofc. Portal 1 can see Portal 2-> Portal 2 can see Portal 1. //removed about can’t see// Also remember that the direction you don’t look at can’t be seen (doh).
…
Hints and vis works in 3d so don’t forget the Z-axis. Area 1 can or can’t see Area 2 if we don’t extend the hint to the broken line. Depends on the automatic portal cuts the compiler makes. If we extend the hint brush, area 1 and area 2 can’t see each other (if the x and y are ok ofc). //edited
…

There I had 2 mistakes. These are from the actual tutorial post. Also I thought that the brief in the same post was confusing (the part b4 the first pic).

Woah, I just keep on asking questions, but I need to know; I want to master the Hint brush Tibet Art (aka HBTA)

When I hint brush the map, will I see any effect when BSP’ing via -meta mode? or should I use -vis stage?
How am I able to see the effect of the hints? I mean, /r_showtris 2 command doesn’t do shiot. It just keeps on showing the whole map but in tris, even if I take a look at professional hint worked maps like MLB Carnage Canyon … when I do the showtris 2 command , I just see the whole map in ‘white’ lines (=tris).

Is there a way to see the effect (without looking at the FPS performance?)

many thx for answering/reading
