vash_a_2004 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think I've had this before if you are useing patch mesh that means it is to big and you need to make it smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vash_a_2004 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Er hold on...Ok this is much better ok click on the edit drop down menu then go to preferences.Under interface click on editing in the last text box (patch devisions) type 999999.This should let you make a patch mesh whatever size without the error.

<EJK>DevMapAll Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 but what if you aren't using a patch mesh? I don't have a single one...I have curves, but none of the have more verticies than a 9X9 patch mesh. And why is it bad to type 9999 under that thing?

WadeV1589 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 To make this work you need to put the patches into a map of their own and you must include at least one structural brush, however this can be covered in caulk and can be 1 unit cubed in size and placed behind the patch mesh so it doesn't ever show up. q3map2 -v -game ja -fs_basepath "D:/JAEDIT/GameData/" -meta -patchmeta -subdivisions 16 D:/JAEDIT/GameData/base/maps/yourmap.map q3map2 -v -game ja -fs_basepath "D:/JAEDIT/GameData/" -convert -format ase D:/JAEDIT/GameData/base/maps/yourmap.bsp Be sure to change the paths. Also you don't put in any player start points nor do you put a skybox or box of any kind around it, it must be just the patch meshes and at least a single structural brush.

wedge2211 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 According to rgoer, you SHOULD seal off leaks (this can be your struct brush--just make a box around it in caulk and hit 'hollow,' that's okay), and you SHOULD include ONE info_player_start. If you lose detail on the patch mesh when you modelize it, change the -subdivisions flag to 8 or, at the very least, 4. You will get the file yourmap.ASE in your maps directory. This can be loaded into Radiant as a misc_model. Then, yes, you will have to clip it. (For large, simple models, you can add key/value spawnflags/2 to have q3map2 autoclip it for you.)
