Walls and rooms gone invisible/black


Duke Lebowski

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

So i have an issue that keeps happening, and after investigating all the logic possibilities, i have not clue what this is about.

 

First, there is a room that all the inside walls appear void when looking from outside of it. When i get inside,

the surfaces are rendered, but the place i come from becomes void (black). I removed ALL the visportals from that region.

(From inside- Lighting adjusted)

 

 

Second, a wall used by 2 rooms also becomes invisible, but you can see the inside of the rooms from outside. When inside these

rooms, everything is just fine. Then again, no visportals.

Any clues?

 

Thanks!

Yep, or the one I started with the same problem:

RJ was really helpful, and following his advice of just being really tidy to begin with has prevented it now. It's a bit restrictive to work off the grid so much but it's a nightmare fixing it.

Thanks for the help guys! So i found the solutions to my problem, still i don't know the exact cause.

 

The black room was caused by 4 pillars (worldspawns) i copied and pasted there. I Just created new ones the it didn't cause the glitch.

 

The see-through wall was caused by weird-ass brushes i made to give shapes to my cavern walls. It seems DR really

doesn't like off-grid and weird shaped brushes. These didn't even collided with the wall at all.

 

On an other note, i need an other way of giving curves to my cavern walls. How can i do so without creating weird brushes?

You almost always want to use patches for curved architecture.

Layer them on top of square brushwork or caulk for sealing if you can.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
