Mapping Help
This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

Some Map Hacks 
Bit of self-promotion here: These map hacks should enable you to put the centerprint messages into your map. You really want to use the hack from the second article, but give the first article a skim because the second one builds on it.

Great, 
thanks Preach! 
Mirror Model 
Does anyone know if there is a way to mirror a model (mdl)? I have a weaponframe of a hand with a hammer, but it is left handed. I need a way to mirror all frames so they become right handed. 
Mirror With QME 
You can do that in QME.

Open the model. Change into Object tools editing mode, and make sure that "root" is selected by clicking in an empty space. Change the settings at the bottom to:

Scope All Frames
Model Relative
Subject Object

Type -1 into the Y box of the Scale control and press enter. Your model will be mirrored, but the triangles will be backwards. Change to Triangle tool editing mode, select all the triangles, then right click and select Flip Triangles. Now the model should be mirrored as desired. 
Yes! 
Thanks Preach!
I guess I learned something new with this program again. Saved me a lot of work.
