I have a lot of wood floors in my map. The id textures are okay, but don't look that great when tiled over large areas. I tried to make my own, but I'm not real happy with the result. 

From Hexen 2 

I done 4 buttons, all 4 targets a trigger_counter that activates a secret, but when I tested the map with message the counter just worked with 2 of the 4 buttons.
I lost a value or something? Or is the hipnotic progs.dat?... 

Yeah, you need to specify how many times the trigger_counter must be activated by setting the "count" value - in this case set it to 4. If you forget to set it then it defaults to 2, explaining what you saw in your map. 

very useful for now and the future 

Well, I was looking for something like wizwood1_8 except 128x128. About that color and about that simple. I've found a few that could probably be made to work, but that's something I was hoping to avoid. 

Was take a stock ID texture and duplicate it four times, then add a bit of variation to break up the tile in the middle of the 128 texture. Clone stamp and offset tools in CS3 :D

Even ended up doing quite a few blends and platform game style tiles of paths and stuff.

Hello Guys I just started a map for the Jam 7 but I'm getting a warning, and I want to understand it.

the warning is:
"No entities in empty space -- no filling performed"

and online I found this explanation for it:
" Normally caused by not having at least one entity that is positioned far enough from solid
brushes. Move one of the entities further away from all walls. "

but I don't understand why would I need a entity in empty space.

Also hope I can finish a map this time, last jam I got too busy and gave up, this time I will try to finish the map even if I go over the deadline. 

Do you have at least one entity somewhere inside the map? 

I have lights, player, items. 

qbsp deletes parts of your map that are in the void, that's the "filling" step. It uses entities to know which side of your map is in the void and which is the interior, and also so if there's a leak, it can give you a pointfile showing the path from the void to an entity.

Move one of the entities further away from all walls.
The filling also happens on hull1 and hull2 (the expanded collision hulls), so after brushes are expanded, if all entities are covered up you'll get that warning. 

ok so, let me see if I understand, I dont need anything outside on the void? this warning is basically saying "nothing is leaking".

when I put something outside then I get the warning

"WARNING 10: Reached occupant at (288 288 1260), no filling performed."

thanks 

Right, you don't want entities in the void.. the "Reached occupant" message means "you have a leak".

Still weird that you were getting that other warning in the first place. The "empty space" in the other warning is referring to the playable area of the map. Is it possible all entities were near walls? Try adding a light in the center of a room maybe. 

Ok, the room I made is kinda small and crowded so yes everything was near a wall.

So I made a very large box around the room and placed a light somewhere far from a wall, and the warning did went away :)

interesting so it got confused by everything being closed to a wall or its actually bad that I made everything close to a wall?

thanks 

Entities are either points or models. The ones that are models have a "bounding box". The editor should show the box, which varies in size but most are 32x32x64. The outsides of the boxes need to be spaced away from walls, floors and ceilings. Usually 8 to 16 units are enough. 

Just raise your info_player_start up a bit until it doesn't get gobbled up by hull expansions.

I've never had this issue and typically I'll be mapping for a long time with literally nothing but an info_player_start in the map. 

The player was the only one touching the ground everything else is very near a wall, but not touching it.

I raised the info player just a little bit and the warning went away... So the info player should not touch the ground...

thanks :) 

the enemy I have on the room is touching the ground and no warning but if the info player touches the ground I get the warning. hummm I will give every entity some space.

Thanks this was really helpful !!! 

Even if the enemy causes no warning, it could be stuck in the ground or wall and unable to move when the map is played. Also, items can "fall out of the map" if too close to the floor. 

yeah thats a good reason, I will give everything some space to avoid bugs and stuff, with other things like doors thats pretty much impossible but with every entity that I can I will do it.

Thanks for the tips :)
