welcome to the forum!

To get you started try this link http://www.wolfensteinx.com/surface/tutorials.html
In the rtcw part they show you how to make ladders, water, windows, and all that stuff!

Good luck!

thx for the site.

but still i have a problem with loading models when i load them the way the tutorial on the sites say’s to it doesnt show up. the model isnt showing at all :banghead:

hmm, dunno
try misc_gamemodel instead but i should work anyway

GTKRadiant has a bug.
After inserting the model (misc_model or misc_gamemodel) leave the model chosen.
Open the entity window by pressing n.
Then edit the path of the model.
It must start with “models/ …” and not with “c: …”.
So just erase the starting part of the pathname.

thank you that totaly works nUllSkillZ :clap: ,

but the new problem is that ut isnt textured !
and is the model solid ?

You have to place brushes made out of “common/clip” texture around the model.

how should i do this pleaze explain it step by step ot give me a tutorial

(whitemsv) #9

anyone who could explain me how to do this ?

That isn’t THAT hard, is it?
I recommend you to have a look at the goldrush.map that ships with Radiant. There you will see many examples of how models are “clipped” with rough clip brushes.

Ok thx for the tip, pleaze take a look at my new questions 4 an 5

(thegnat) #12

Please take a look at the sticky in the forum. There are tons of links to tutorials, explaining how to make a level. Including lighting and skybox.

How to make stairs?

Make a brush.
Then copy that brush and translate it up and in one direction.
Alternatevly make a new brush with offset to the first one.
