Based on CS:S Crackhouse

Would be a deathmatch and teambased map for TF.

CRACKHOUSE!

I spent days on a crackhouse server with my friends

[KillPixel]

NICE!

Crackhouse is one of my favorite maps of all time. I have a server and that's the only map on it. I raged and got it after I realized I'm banned from every respectable server on CS:S that runs crackhouse.

Angry noobs with admin privileges annoy me to no end.

Now i got a problem, whenever i compile the map with compiling GUI i get this

Not sure why it's not seeing the textures. Maybe put all the textures into one wad and see if that works.

And here's another question, am i able to use actual ladders?

[KillPixel]

Not in vanilla quake. You can make a very shallow stair case of clip brushes that you can put over a ladder mesh or brushes.

I'm sure there is a custom entitiy that allows you to do a proper ladder, but I don't what it is. There are others on this forum that know much more about this stuff than I do.

And here's another question, am i able to use actual ladders?

I once made ladders using a trigger_push (wind) trigger. It worked surprisingly well, and even monsters were able to use it. Make your ladder geometry and encase it in a push trigger that has a low setting (like 20 or so). The player will climb the ladder at a believable speed (not insanely fast like in maps that use noclip brushes for ladders) and he can also back off the ladder mid-climb by backpedaling, provided the push trigger brush isn't too thick.

The two downsides are that the player will climb whether or not the forward button is pressed while touching the ladder (not a big deal, the intention is to go up anyway), and the other downside is the wind noise generated from touching the push trigger. But I still like this method better than the noclip brushes if the goal is to not do any modding.

And here's another question, am i able to use actual ladders?

When you browse to inside3d and type 'ladder' into the search field (top right), you will find all existing ladder mods for Quake. Together with nice details/descriptions.
There seems to be around 4 or 5 approaches for ladders. They depend on the used engine (some engine extensions introduce issues with some ladder codes). But there are even detailes explanations on how to bypass them.
You will also find the sources for ladders (except Quoth ladder ).

Have fun digging through the threads

UPDATE: I've made the house, but the inside looks like this, wut do?



Also note this is for the TF mod for mega TF which i plan on porting just for regular quake as soon as this is done.

Looks to me like you're still missing texture information. What editor are you using and what compilers?

Actually that was my texture, sorry for the lack of info.

The game was using the texture as a fullbright.

[Dutch]

So the problem is everything is lit as fullbrights (no shadows whatsoever)? Seeing as the player's hand/shotgun are fullbright as well, my next guess would be that you aren't compiling any light into the bsp.

[R00k]

check your pallete? values greater than 224 are fullbright in quake.
maybe tweak the textures
