.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

hehe the code from green beret worked .. thanks all , yes i was confused .. lol but now i have to work on a nasty red line that shows a leak and i just can't find that ***** :p .. so il be busy now

`grr.. im soooo upset.. everythings goes wrong .. again again again.. if i load the game it shuts down and says ERROR MAX PATCH PLANES .. oeeffff how do i hate that grr..

If you load the game or if you load the map?

the map

ffs how can i solve it ??

plz, i want to map

ERROR MAX PATCH PLANES
Hmm, never had that problem, perhaps becouse i have never made big maps.

Well obviosly (how do i speel that?) there is too much something. Does your map have Trerrain? Maybe a big detailed structure, like a big ball? Someone had a problem with a long ladder, but the error he got had something to do with too much vertex-es(?) in one line.
Try to figure out what could be the problem, i think it has something to do with large amounts of something.

hmm i have a secret euhm.. how do you say that.. like a sewer .. but then round.. lets give it a try

**edit**

thats not it !

but... i have a large dungeon .. thats the map.. .. its all covered up so you cant see the sky so is the skybox still needed

I thin that the skybox is needed, to make the square "space".
I have read the vis tutorial.

ERROR MAX PATCH PLANES means your patch mesh is to complex. Try replacing some with brushes, and reducing the compexity of the larger ones.

Your world will need a caulk textured skybox when your map is finished. It is ok to leave it out for now.

Ain't there an easier way to make locked doors (with that sweet sound ) than described in the tut on this site (with all them zillions trigger things )
Btw, if I wanna have a door just locked, do I use the whole script (from the tut)?

For a door that is just locked, don't turn the door brush into a func_door but leave it a simple brush. Then place a trigger_use in front of it (with the door's dimensions) and give it targetname/door_locked. Do this for as many doors as u like.
Then add to ur script before level waitTill prespawn That's it
If u want to be nice to the players, u could think about giving locked doors a different look as normal doors like a certain texture or giving (just) normal doors a wall lamp next to it. This way they won't waste time running into closed doors again and again

Here is an example map for doors that use a switch on the wall to lock and unlock. The .map file is included.
