Title: sky and leak check problem
Post by: dnadna on August 28, 2008, 01:30:12 PM

these r 2 different problems

sky:

i make a sky and i put a room behind the sky and u can see the room behind the sky but i dont want to see the room behind the sky. i tryed making the sky solid and still nothing.  i can still see through the sky when its leak free.  i tryed puting a hint brush infront of the room still nothin

leak check:

I HATE leaks like all mappers but i want to use leak check cus it saves time but when i load the .lin it draws a line but then bsp freezes and i have to close bsp so i have to check leaks manually.

my 2 other friends have the same problem with the sky

plz help

Try selecting the walls you can see through the sky and apply the sky texture, I did something like that once when I had the same problem.

You shouldn't be able to see the walls, you will just see sky.
Just make sure the sky texture in the walls doesn't emit light.

Hmm, it should work if you do what i said. Select the right face of the brush, select the sky texture ant hit alt + f.
Also, that will look pretty ugly, why don't you just make a normal wall there?

Oh well, no idea. I'd just make a brick wall there instead of the sky.
It would look better and you wouldn't have similar problems.
