.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

on all areat of the game that players will not see eg.undergrond or inside of a house that has a locked door apply the texture Caulk
Thanks mohaa_rox for the handy hint

thanks for that handy hint

for more handy hints, stay tuned next week or visit the tutorials page

wow-6 months mapping and i had no idea what caulk did

well, actually, that's a lie-in fact, that's the most basic thing in every tutorial u read


it's really profound being a n00b, isn't it

i'm jk man-it's great that u've found this out, but this is pretty rudimentary knowledge-it sounds as if u are in need of tuts...

- AND MANY MORE! Just do a google search, you'll find many more...

OH AND BTW:

Using caulk may raise your framerate, but usually the culprit of a poor fps is bad vis design, coupled with the overuse of shruken textures, patch meshes, and LOD terrain

Aza is learning so be easy on him.

Keep up the good work Aza

heh aza, i'm right there with ya! 8)

i thought it was basic so i put a post on for other no0bs who didnt know thanks for your support all

Houses that the players can't enter should not be hollowed out! Balr14 (TMT forum) said that empty spaces are seen by vis, even if it's all caulk surfaces inside.

Very good point...never thought bout that...

I've got a hands on tut on optimizing FPS in "thight spots" here.

(Its for when you caulked all surfaces you can and the FPS still is to low ).

Maybe be a good point but I don't think it's true . Unless you have leaks or entities in the hollowed out house the space inside will be ignored completely.

If I uderstood right, LOD terrain is not seen by vis. So, if the hollowed out house has no floor (other than terrain), the space inside will be added.
