prisoner Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 i'm having a very tough time about this...... i created a door that of course leads to another room..... well the door conects to a huge part of the map and other connection room is small..... when i am in that small room....... i get the same amount of fps as usual.... and when i add bots...... if i look towards the door..... fps goes down....... it shouldn't do that.... i made a little hallway 5 grid units thick..... the area portals are not being blocked...... is there any other way i can fix this without moving the entire map apart?

prisoner Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 well i cant believe no one has anything posted yet but i've been testing some things.... its a good to make backups when something like this happens...... i put a brush that was cover in area portal in the front of the door and the back of the door...... i tested it out and i almost had it..... it blocked the area portal but it didnt' show the door or the room.... all i can say is that it REALLY blocked it....... i almost had it so this can give me an idea of how to fix it and i hope other people will...... but i still need help on how to make the door block the area portal when it is closed that is wut i need to know and when it opens it shows the area portal....

master_thomas Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 So, your saying that it is three units deep, and as tall and wide as the doorway? How deep is the door? I've had much frustration with areaportals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Hmm... yeah... Areaportals have to touch all the (at least) four walls of a doorway and it is enough if they are 1 unit thick. They have to be inside the door. These are the only rules. Oh, there is one more if someone uses q3map2 2.3.32 or later. Only one face of the brush has to be covered with system/areaportal, the other 5 have to be common/skip which is coming with q3map2 in the common_extra.shader file.

prisoner Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 well the area portal texture thing i put in, wut u really have to do is make the area portal brush the axact same size as your door and then u put the brush in the door where it fits..... the strecthing part has some problems that i found so this is the right way...... and it covers all the sides.... it blocks what ever is behind the door...... its wonderful baby yea!!!! your fruststrations have gone away :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
