Update: @JackFarmer The root cause of the turret crash has been found. It seems that it was given the same physics code as the security camera but does not have handling for cases where no clip model exists. Removing the physics code fixes the issue. That said, I guess we may look into adding it back so that the turret follows the same destruction features as the camera?

Alberic's Curse v3.11 is now out! It features: 1) A new script event related to the "Curse" 2) EFX Reverb 3) Volumetric Light effects 4) Different detail levels depending on LOD setting 5) A fix for a very old bug that caused stuttering in the basement, along with a long list of standard bug fixes 6) A few more surprises... Check for the mission update in the in-game downloader!

Generally speaking, solid + opaque materials like wood or stone will seal, while nonsolid ones like materials meant for dirt decals won't. Some exceptions, for example caulk is a popular solid + invisible sealant, unlike i.e. all the nodraw and nodrawsolids which won't seal. Another thing that helps a lot is to use a large grid size like 8 or 16 units sealing geometry. This way you can more easily align parts and see gaps. Details can be done with smaller brushes or with patches. All of your detail pieces should be entities instead of worldspawn due to compiler reasons. This has the extra benefit that you can use the "All entities" filter to hide entities and only see your sealing worldspawn geometry.

I would only leave it as worldspawn if you need it to act like worldspawn. For example, if you have a nodrawsolid_wood brush covering a wonky wooden model and you want AI to be able to walk over it smoothly or it is to perform some sealing function. Other than that, just make a func_static so it gets filtered out in DR when you want to only look at sealing brushwork. So no harm in leaving it as worldspawn, but on the other hand you might get some benefit to making it a func_static.

damn i just broke the mainboard on my gaming pc switching PSU i did not notice that the cable for the 8 pin cpu power was the wrong type for that PSU and now it wont boot at all sigh... strangely it does light up the leds but the fans and qcode display stay of no matter what, there are 2 leds at the buttom that light up but according to the manual they just show the board has power so lol. luckily my 2080 ti still works and the ram also seems to have survived, havent tested the cpu or disks yet.
