Livingdeadjedi Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 This is a complicated one but..... In Jedi Outcast Hint brushes and area portals were the norm. But in Jedi Academy Hint brushes dont seem to do anything, and we have shaders like Terrain, inside and outside. What do these do ? Ive also been using CODradiant for Call of duty game and in that you have PortalNODRAW for placeing in outside areas what is the equivelent of a portal no draw in Jedi Academy E.G a brush you place outside in a door of an outside hut so it acts like a hint brush and ya dont need to fog ya level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Wrong forum, LDJ. What do you mean, they don't work in JA? Have you tried turning on r_showtris to see if they created a split? CoD is a bit different, because it doesn't use a PVS for visibilty determination like other Q3 games do. It just uses some straight up portals. E.G a brush you place outside in a door of an outside hut so it acts like a hint brush and ya dont need to fog ya level Huh? Hint brushes are for forcing BSP splits, making more leaf nodes, letting you create a tighter visibility list. Areaportals you put inside doors so anything beyond the door isn't drawn when the door is closed... The inside and outside shaders are for weather. You can use inside to mark one area as inside, and the weather system assumes everything else is outdoors, and puts weather effects in it. With outside, it only puts weather effects in those areas. Terrain, uh, probably something for ARIOCHE terrain, haven't looked into that yet. What exactly is it that you want to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingdeadjedi Posted January 2, 2004 Author Share Posted January 2, 2004 in othe words i dont use CODradiant.. my mate has that i was just checking what the shaders were thanks anyway =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idontlikegeorge Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Q3map2 has had support for Jedi Academy long before GTK had a support for it! So you had to just fake it with the JO Gtk package, and tell it to use Academy assests. I've had no problems with hint brush use... they always make a split where they are at... just like they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
