Various red brushes.Call of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level DesignThat is kind of strange. One other thing you can try os to put a block of
volume_lightgrid over the areas you are having problems and see if it
helps. It looks like the light/shadows are just bouncing off certain
textures in an odd way for some reason.... [ more] |

Lag and choppy camera movement in RadiantCall of Duty 4 : CoD 4 Level DesignThis may just be a side effect of trying to use Radiant with Vista, however
I thought I would see if anyone had any ideas. Let me start by saying that
my system specs are more then enough to run Radiant smoothly.

pretty spread apart to start, but then just make clusters of tdm_spawns in
various areas you want people to spawn in. Depending on how many people
you expect your map to support, adju... [ more] |
