.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

hi guys its me again
well just this morning i was going over a frinds map with him when i saw a hole in his lod (wooooooooo!) btu he did not see but he fell through and it was one big brush
well i told we were both newbs and i was lost as to why that happedned and then he came into my map i was working on and in my lod terrain vreated from brush there is a high spot textured with a mountain type thing he said when he got to the midle he could go through although to me he was not moving he said he could see me through but could not shoot me mine is one brush also although i did snap to grid with another
what is this can it be overcome? the way we are testing is we are just sending the bsp's to each other that is ok isn't it?
please help us lol

The most common problem with LOD terrain is you don't have the scale right when you create it, so what you think you are creating isn't what you are actually creating. You must set LOD scale to 1.

Assuming you have done that already, then your problem is most likely the terrain you created is too uneven and it's culling because your graphic settings (in-game) are unable to handle the terrain you created. One final possibility is you used a bad texture.

ty u are always very helpful but ummmmmm set lod to 1?

ok got ya one the one lol my bad will try that thanks also if u know that your wall and your floor meet and it is a night map whywould there be a light shing under i can post a screen shot if neccessaary

do not feel bad I have made the same mistake...would create terrain with lod compile and looked noting like I created. Just becuase I forgot to set to 1.

Yup. Q3 engine is notorious for light leaks.
