IG-64 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I made a curve cylinder, but when I compiled it one half of it was not round, like in radiant. So I made a cylinder out of brushes instead, but I need to be able to go inside it, and I can't figure out how to flip the normals of brushes. I tried making it nonsolid, and then hollowing a copy of it using caulk, or clipping, but I also need stuff inside the cylinder, which creates leaks in the map. Can anyone help me?

WadeV1589 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I'm guessing this is a pretty large cylinder for it to deform. I think using -patchmeta fixes it as it turns the meshes into brushes ingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslaf Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Had the same problem. You cylinder is probably too big. Try to create it with two end caps. Alternatively you can convert BSP to ASE and use the misc_model instead of patchmesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeV1589 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 It performs meta sorting on patches effectively making them into brushes in the BSP instead of actual patches still - I think anyway. If you need a big circular object, separate it into it's own map, add at least one brush in there (anywhere and only has to be 1x1x1 units) covered in caulk, save and compile with -meta -patchmeta -subdivisions 16 and then -convert -format ase. This will firstly make your .map into a .bsp and then the .bsp into a .ase which you can load as a model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeV1589 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 If it's as large as I think it is you can just add spawnflags 6 to lightmap and auto-clip the model - in this instance it is OK to use autoclipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted May 8, 2004 Author Share Posted May 8, 2004 If thats the case, then I could make a big cylinder in 3dsmax, and autoclip it. I'll try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
