I think if you mapped the Half Life map in Radiant (as is possible) then you could potentially convert it. If you did it in the original Half Life editor I don't think it would be possible unless Q3Map2 can successfully convert enough of the BSP back...  [Read More]

Whoever told you that was a detailphobe! Detailing is essential for any good map. You can't make misc_model(_static) detail as it doesn't affect vis so it's odd that adding a few of those gave you it. Nevertheless the way to remedy it is to detail yo...  [Read More]

The decoration you added, select it then hit Ctrl-D to make it detail, max_max_visibility is when your map has too many leafs/portals/nodes whatever you want to call them...all that matters is making non-hull brushes detail will cut the vis data down...  [Read More]

If you're lost with he BSP options in Radiant, don't use Q3Map2Toolz, it's great once you understand the options...otherwise it's a program with more confusion than the sexual orientation of Prince Charles!...  [Read More]

You don't have to use the one ending in -bounce 8 - this enables radiosity which is a way of attempting to copy real life by bouncing light off of surfaces to light areas that usually would not receive light. Radiosity is up to you if you want/need i...  [Read More]

If they're JPEG make sure that they are standard encoded, progressive will not load. Try sticking the textures in a pk3 instead of just typing sv_pure 0. That may work better, and then you'll never have to mes with pure server settings again, and yo...  [Read More]

Right... You'll need 1 trigger_multiple, 1 target_delay, 1 target_relay and change the func_static to a func_wall - this is how to do it without any scripting whatsoever. Target the trigger_multiple to the target_delay. Target the target_delay to t...  [Read More]

Select the model and hit N Type modelscale as the key and a scale multiplier in the value box, so 2 would be 200% bigger Or type in a key of modelscale_vec and a value of 3 scale multipliers e.g. "2 1 3" to scale 2 in the x direction, 1 in...  [Read More]

I've not looked into force pushing or pulling objects, but if you use a door, you can use the lip key to specify how far it should move. I would guess though that if you make a trigger_multiple that can be force pushed/pulled and added a script to i...  [Read More]

_gridsize 9999 bad!!! Nevermind it's not 3 values :p For a map that big, "256 256 512", if that still takes forever "512 512 512" but 256x256x512 really is big for the gridsize And yes _blocksize in the same place and use, for t...  [Read More]

If you really are making huge maps then vis data is going to become quite irrelevant if they're almost entirely open. So select a regular brush then press N. Type in a key of _blocksize and a value of "16384 16384 16384" (I hesitate to say...  [Read More]
