wedge2211 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Cover the unseen sides of the brush with nodraw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie Judge Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Or use a square patch mesh. The flare shader should make it non solid. Hehh, lots of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydnar Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Or simply make a light entity with a "_flare" "1" or "_flareshader" "<shader>". Then it will be a normal JK2-style z-buffer occluded light flare. y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge2211 Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Be sure you're using nodraw and NOt nodraw_solid. Ydnar means you make a light entity, press n, add key "_flare" and value "1" or key "_flareshader" and value "<shadername>" I've never tried that before, but ydnar made q3map2 and so he's most certainly right.

sematriclen Posted April 20, 2003 Share Posted April 20, 2003 or maybe you could open the properties with shaderED that came with the editor and make another copy of the flare and make the properties non_solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Make sure you compile with Q3Map2 when using the light entity flares. It has to work, ydnar wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydnar Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Make sure you compile with the -flares option when creating the BSP. This enables flare surfaces for JKII/SOF2. y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
