Leaks...

[nagli]

Sorry, I'm really greeny with this mappers stuff...

 

I'm using "A - Z Beginner Full Guide" with Dark Radiant. But still I can't understood, how to create not only "openable" doors, but doorways.

 

As I understood, I should:

 

0. Create block brush with "make room";

1. Create "static" door;

2. Assign for the door classname "atdm:mover_door";

3. Create 2 more copyes of wall, and curtain them away, making doorway...

 

But after that I get "leaking" error.

 

PS: sorry for my bad english...

A "leak" is when your map has a gap somewhere to the "void" (the grey area in DR outside the map). The map is like a submarine underwater; you can't have any leaks to the outside; it has to be absolutely airtight.

 

The way you find the leak is to click in DR file->pointfile, and you should see a red line that passes through the leak. Then you need to close that with brushes. For example, if you made a doorway, you need to make a room out of brushes on the other side. (You can't make a doorway into the void or it's like cutting a hole in your submarine). If you pulled the brushes apart, make sure you didn't leave a little gap to the void. If you did, you can pull the brushes back to close it.

 

Do you understand better now?
