<div class="IPBDescription">:(</div> Some of my func_walls and other visible brush entities have the problem that some of their faces are completely invisible while some other faces of the same brush are normal.
Rarely some faces just disapear depending on the place im in, but some stay invisible.
Turning them into solids makes them normal solids with no errors.
Changing my vis settings (and disabnling vis) randomizes this effect.
Whats could be the reason for this and how to fix?

If that's not the problem, try making the various cull distance settings higher (in the map_info entity I think, or the basic Map Settings diaglogue).
That should be the reason.
Too bad opt_plns crashes when I run it on the maps. (oficial maps work for a test).
<b>gimme some map related reasons for opt_plns to crash please.</b>
Ill try harder...

Older versions of opt_plns crash when the map goes over any of the following limits:
4MB texture
4MB lighting
2MB visibility
Version 1.4 fixes the crash by dynamically allocating however much memory is necessary to properly load the map.
Still used 1.0
no problem with 1.4
Ill place a XP-Cagey shrine in my map.
Any suggerstions for that?
...
âaw the shrine has to wait.
opt_plns 1.4 works nice but i Stil lhave the problem from the 1st post.

Anybody know a different cause for missing ent faces?
The bug is fixed sometimes.
Guess its just my own stupidity in one special case.
