if you need it to butt into the world for whatever reason, but don't want cuts, then func_wall that mother.

Just don't go hogwild with func_wall though, for ~*reasons*~

Yeah, sometimes you might be better off making the base that the bars intersect into the func_wall, and leaving the bars proper as func_detail. 

Hello,

I seek a fgd based on a quake 1, which includes extras. "rotation, breakable, etc ..."

Can you help me. thank you very much 

That's for a particular Quake mod called "Extras", which can be found here:

http://www.quakewiki.net/quake-1/mods/extras-r4/ 

extras is pretty neat. I love the gibbable corpes, the sparks from the nailgun, the extra moveable objects, rain fx...

Not too keen on footstep sounds, cartridge ejections for the guns though. Oh well. 

Is there one? 

Texmex will allow me to import a 2048 and save it into the wad, but sikkpin_QE3 won't load anything over 1024. Hacking the 2048 onto a brush manually and compiling works fine in FitzBakerMarkV and QuakeSpasm. Even WinQuake loads the map and displays all the textures (although in the latter case the mipmapping is kind of wonky).

I'm not actually going to use a 2048 texture in Quake, but for the sake of argument: is there an upper limit? Are there secret but horrible side effects to large textures? 

there's no official upper limit but probablty each engine or tool will break in undocumented ways when you make something big enough.

For example in GLQuake the limit is width x height <= 307200 

... or 1024x300.

So, in GLQuake, that's 1024x256 or 512x512 tops. Curious if there are engines that have raised other bsp/netcode limits but left that one. 

correct, the line of code looks like this:

static unsigned trans[640*480]; // FIXME, temporary 

lol 

Is it ok to make brushes with liquids (lava/water) intersect with world brushes, and go outside of walls? I've noticed that if I use multiple brushes for water the edges where the brushes meet becomes visible in-game. I've read somewhere to never let brushes intersect so were a bit hesitant to do so. 

Intersect away, no problem. 

made it one big lava brush, but the geometry around cuts it up on compile with quite noticeable edges... Any tricks to get around this? http://i.imgur.com/YVzHLKL.png

This shouldn't happen.

Nor should the thing in the pic you posted. 

No, the artifact in the picture is what happens with most modern rendering engines. That would look fine in the software renderer. 

Quakespasm get your shit together! ;)

Oh, so it's a shitty GL rendering thing. Does this happen in Fitz / Quakespasm ? 

r_oldwater 0 should fix it, that'll be the default for the next QS release. 

r_oldwater 0 did the trick! Thanks 

when the texture isn't aligned across all the brushes. 

Is if liquid volumes touch sky, then the compile will break.

And yeah, r_oldwater 0 FTW. 

water and lava touching also cause a problem i think? 

and uh... slime too i guess. :S 

When would this even happen? :)
I guess if you were to make a horizon but, damn the size of the water brush would be huge! 

It's almost always a mistake. You copy a brush, move stuff around, etc. It happens.
