I just started on my first NS map, and I think I managed to get by with the install and setting up. However, I could definitely use a list over the size of the units in-game. I would hate to have constructed a network of vents in a map, only to realize that skulks won't fit in it. Thanks <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

ChromeAngel made it.
Ok, so now I have the vents all figured size-wise. But I think it would be cool to have a vent near marine base that is just out of reach for a single marine, but if a marine crouches and another marine jumps on top,
the marine on top should be able to reach the weld spot in the middle of the vent. Problem? I dont know the height of a marine jump, nor the height of a crouching marine <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
To test this in-game, simply place a testcube of the proper size in front of the vent. 72 units tall if you expect the botom marine to stand up, 36 units if he stays crouched. Then get on top of that cube (with noclip incase of the standing marine testcube) and try jumping in.
As for boosting another marine into a vent: a marine can crouch-jump high enough to jump on top of a crouched marine (which is the same size as a skulk). For a vent that requires a boost, simply make the lip higher than 36 units. The highest a lip can be and still be accessable by a single boost is for a marine to crouch-jump onto another marine, have the booster stand up, and then have the boostee do a second crouch-jump into a vent. A crouch jump from standing on another marine would be 72 + 36, or 108 units. Anything higher requires at least one more booster.

So, I got my vents set up, and tested the map. Then it all turned to **** in front of my eyes. I got a warning
about texture being too large or something. Since i have mostly mapped for UT, I am not accustomed to this
kind of problems...I'll have to redo everything <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Oh, and another thing...I tried to put a hologram in a certain location of the map, behind a glass monter.
Problem is, i get a warning about the cycle when running the map. Apparently, the model for Fade just doesnt exist. Just keeps whining about that there is no [...\Half-Life\ns\models\player\alien4\alien4.mdl]. Then I look in the folder and its right there. Anyone knows whats wrong?
