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.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
