.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

k guys i started doing a class room with some 64 chairs, i created one everything ok. buit then i wanted to add to the chairs a back thing (i'm portuguese i dunno what to call it...) like sown in the picture. i tryed and tryed and nothiung. this is how i soved the problem:

i created a bruch made it a cilinder with 16 faces. then i created another cilinder and got it over the other. i subtracted the 2nd cilinder to the 1st it ran ok, but my back of the chair is constituted by some 8 faces.

is this why my map is taking so long to full compile (fast compile - 1 to 1:30 min)?

can anyone tell me how to make this just one bruck with one curved face? (i tryed the cuerved tutorial form .map but no success it only gets us to do cilinders and curved shapes but not a concave face...

here are soome shots:

Make your chairs detail and your map will compile within seconds 8)

well haven't think of that...
it makes sense...
i'm going to try it now

posta ya later

k men now... i worship you my map from 2 min in fast vis passed to 2 sec! yeah! thnx a lot! shall i use it for the tables also? for what i understood the make detail option is for user created models with standart rushes right?

Make anything that doesn't reasonably block sight detail.

VIS for dummies!!, this might help you......or just get you confused!!

this p#uckin detail s#17 got on my nerves.. i compiled my map very well... 20 seconds in full vis. when i pk3 my map or even console: map g2, i got 2 p#ucked up chairs! they're with a hole... look here:



how am i suposed to fix it? the problem isn't at the chair... i made the chari detail and copy pasted it all over the map so what's the prob?

Who do you plan on shooting in that classroom ?
Should we be concerned about your motives ?

i was planning to put an AI of my philosophy teacher with a custom skin and the objective was to kill her isn't that a good idea?

another strange thing, my chair the one with the hole, from the front view, has no hole how come is this possible?

LOL!!!!!! That's a good one!!!!!!

cmon guys stop comenting my gencidal ideas and help me with the holes in the chairs, i solved this by putting these two chairs structural, but i'd rather have them all detail... WHAT'S THE PROBLEM CAUSING THESE HOLES? IS THERE A WOOD BUG EATIN MY CHARIS?

Replace them with the chairs from an other table.

After using CSG subtract you can end up with brushes that are not aligned to the grid. Brushes that not are aligned to the grid can behave in this way. You might solve this by selecting the brushe in mohradiant (make sure that you have the smallest gridsize, 1) and then align the brush.

Next problem after using that could be that brushes start overlapping each other. You need to align all chair brushes and then edit any overlapping brushes. This is one of the reasons I never use CSG Subtract. I find the clipper tool to do a better job even if it means some more work. If you just make one perfekt chair then you can copy it and brushes will still be aligned.

k i'm tired of selectingmy chair back 18 faces. is it possible to create this curve/arch within 1 single face?

A small patch mesh could do the trick!!
