Making The Map For The Commander

Era_Jorma · March 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">see trough and no build</div> I am working on my map now (ns_raven) and after i had the first alien hive and the mstart ready I tested it.. well.. i noticed that the commander didn´t see trough the ceiling and i could build on it :S So no comming there :/

The question is: do i have to make all the ceilings with seetrough to allow commanders to see trough them? and do i have to use no build on just everything? there is a entity limit yeah?

Odd, you should be able to see through your ceilings. Do they border onto the void?

if you ceiling consits of a single brush between the void and the inside of your map, you should be able to see-through it. If you have any other brushes on the inside of the ceiling brushm they will have to be func_seethrough.

func_nobuild everywhere? you should rarely have to use this unless in specific areas that you do not want 'ANYTHING' to be built.

are you using a skybox?

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Mendasp @ Mar 5 2004, 01:10 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> are you using a skybox?  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
Or any other sort of brush around your map to prevent leaks?

If so, remove it and fix the leaks. Because if you did have a box, the map would lag unbelievably along with the problems with the comm.

hey, the sky box is not so bad.. it lags only IF there really is a leak
but i found it easiers to use skybox.. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' /> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif' />

If you are using a skybox, the commander mode won't work as it's supposed to work.

Remove it and fix your leaks.

What? If you have a skybox, it will also render the outside of the level. During compile, CSG automatically nullifies all faces touching the void to PREVENT this lag. By placing a skybrush around your map, basically means the engine will have to render twice as much in each area, resulting in huge lag. It might be "easier" with a skybox, but it is NOT a fix for a leak. I guarantee you this. Instead, find the leak and fix it. It's not too hard - there are several good tutorials for finding leaks.
