Monster movement code uses hull 0 instead of hull 1 or 2 for checking the floor. This means any small gap deeper than step height will be a barrier to monster pathfinding. 

 

Will find myself in Gulliver once I reach Hull.
I have to tag that movement code better.:P 

Which tool do you guys use to create sprites for Q2? How can i create an sp2? 

Quake1 uses FirmG to handel sprites. It has a lot of output extentions. Don't know if you can view q2 sprites with it. Quaketastic has a Firmg 0.2 under tools.

I'm not familiar with q2 sprites. It seems there's a program called:
Quake 2 Sprite Builder, but I couldn't find it. 

I could really use a cli tool for that. Can't find anything, though. :( 

if all else fails, just use a hex editor.
the format is basically trivial.
{magic="IDS2", version=2, numframes, {width, height, xoffset, yoffset, char pcxname[64] }[numframes] }
Yeah, sort enough to be able to commit to hunam memory, apparently.

Its the kind of format that should have just been a text file all along - hence .shaders being used for sprites in q3.

(q1 sprites are more complicated and also directly embed the pixel data. I don't recommend trying to hex-edit those...) 

Anyone know how to make floating powerups in Quake 2? maybe there is some sort of brush I can set to collide with the powerup but not the player? Thanks

I have a problem with path_corner.
Can not use the "event" property. I set the "event" in the patch_corner, but when the func_trian leaves this point, there is no event. Is this the right name for the property? 

Make sure you have the full Quoth 2.2.patch from here

https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/quoth/

THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM QUOTH 2 OR QUOTH 2.1 OR QUOTH 2.2!! 

I have last version 2.2 

If you have latest 2.2 patch or full then it should work. Make sure the event has a unique targetname. Wait key will also work on newest version 

Yes, the event has a unique targetname. But still does not work 

If other quoth stuff is working try reinstall https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/quoth2pt2full.html 

Do you have "wait" set on the path_corner? The page you linked says that event isn't compatible with that (it's really more an acknowledgement of a bug than a design decision, but still). 

Maybe a silly question, but how do people get it so that textures on faces that aren't parallel to the grid don't stretch? 

I use Valve mode to prevent that. You can convert to Valve format by using Eric's tools and you can also choose the format when creating a new map in Trenchbroom (drop down menu on bottom right when selecting the game for which you want to make maps). 

Ah, the map format thingie. Thanks. Guess Valve is useful for something these days. 

No, "wait" not set 

Hard to say what's going wrong without seeing the map itself then, email it over to me and I'll take a look... 

Pardon me! I use my own utility for select a portion of the map and this utility changes "target" to other name.

I try simple compile and it works correctly.

Sorry once again! 

Hi!
Got a real bad trigger problem in my first map.
When I come to the middle of the game and have passed some triggers the others are all fired. Doors are opend things are working without activation?

Any idea to this?
