Custom Map Makers

Yo, gsigms brought me here so... here we go ! Douze from France, urt player for 3+ years now, urt jumper for 2.5+ years. Nowadays, I'm a pure jumper but I still like to kick my friends ass on uptown frag servers (who's you daddy ?!). I started mapping 2 years ago (dunno why...), I did some minor jum...

Thank you for your warm welcome.
This is the first time my avatar does so much effect... and the first time someone can recognize it ! GJ Setting.

I'm building a new jump map with an intensive use of patches. I'm using both brush and patche for simple walls. My problem is its kinda boring/slow to select patch and only one brush face (when I want to fix textures for example): its easier to select patches only, when they are aligned. So my quest...

Thank you for your quick responses. @ValkoVer: I think the performances are the same for a square shape. But I'll definitly try these options to compile. @MajkiFajki: I tried it (ty gsigms) but I wasted to much time (I've got a lot of patches of different size / shape and I had difficulties to under...

@gsigms/Markinho: I found a golden mean, so player will jump on brushes / patches are for details and ground
@flajeen: cool stuff but I'll use patch - cooler, faster :p I think performances are quite ok but I'll ask some testers

+1 !

Welcome b3e !
I didn't see you in ages so, I'm glad to see you here.
BTW I discovered defrag a few months ago (I wasn't a q3 player) and I was like, "ow, we are (urt jumpers) so (s)low !".

Just don't touch our jump maps

Make a 15x15 patche and check the position of all points (ie all points are on the grid before you move them - if not, just scale the patch and check again). If the shape does not look the same in radiant and in game, try to use -patchmeta when compiling. This fixed my problem but increased tris num...

Hum... I don't have so much experience but I can give you some tips I found mapping AND jumping (it's really personal, other jump mappers may proceed differently and disagree with my jump experience): - When I create a jump 1. I have the jump in mind so I just map it and I test it (just simple brush...
