Trying to make a new dm map. (yea, i know no one will play it)

I thought i was allmost done with the general design and only had left to make it look nice.

But now, it feels that just by moving something or putting in a freeflowing block, just about any change results in theese "graphic jams"..

Really pisses me off since i cant find the reason why this would happen..

Is there some kind of "standard" misstake thats making this... Think ill erase it and all my future map plans if i cant learn why this is happening.

pls help, what am i doing wrong??

You should try Func MSG_Board or the QuakeOne Forum. And btw, what program are you using?

thx ill try there,, and im using quark

You basically have a hole in your wall there, so you are seeing outerspace, which doesnt get drawn.


Use gl_clear 1 to see the space without the texture blur...

Now that a easy-to-find leak.

how was he able to compile the map with a hole on it?

he close the map with a bigggggggggg box for sure

You can compile a map with leaks but you can't vis it then.

but Spirit_ map isn´t full bright so! guess he close the map with a big box

no big boxes.. check. so if i make the walls thinner it might work? or do i have to use planes or walls or whats it might be called?

dont have alot of big boxes and it worked earlier with more..

sent me .bsp to my email!

trinquinha@gmail.com is my msn also if u prefer...

The effect is called HOM, hall of mirrors. Basicly your map is leaking, when Vis doesn´t know what to draw it repeats whatever was the last pixel as far as it was concerned. Chuck a brush in there and it´ll work fine. If you have smaller leaks that you can´t find load up the map and type "pointfile" in the console - it´ll draw a line inside the game pointing to where the map is leaking.

Also, you can compile light without vis, because light is processed first; so it´s possible to make a full build of a map, return to your PC and find that it´s r_speeds are through the roof.
