nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

What to say about the map.. i really like it but i think it should be a bit bigger to play nice as ctf map. I guess its the same size as darkzone but in ctf it can be very annoying to get stuck on the lights on the top.. If you do not scale it at least clip the lights so you can't get stuck.

Also, makes me feel a bit strange as i have no clue about mapping and i know you just started but there are still a lot of errors left and i can't tell you to to fix them. There is lots of zfighting that gets visible with RT lights from rockets. I made a few screenshots..

And basically all the lights need their textures adjusted to look right. Thats a whole lot of work left but i'm sure your map will be worth it. Its a great map so thanks for your work so far!

The missing textue at the teleporter

Texture aligning on caps (GtkRadiant 1.4):

Select the cap and press SHIFT+S. This opens up the Surface Inspector for patches in general. (Note: Just pressing "S" opens up the Surface Inspector for standard brushes)

Now click "CAP". This should do it.

Tip: You can easily shift textures when holding SHIFT and pressing the arrow-keys (of course you must have selected the face with the texture you want to shift).

Also you might want to take a look in the official Radiant Manual which should be in a subfolder of your Radiant-Installation for more useful stuff.

or ctl+shift+n to cycle cap alignment.

Some more alignment tips:
Keep texture move/rotation lock off on big surfaces if possible (texure->texture lock ->[ move|rotate ] ) That autoagicaly kees the textures aligned.
Build the bulk geometry with caulk texture, then texure its visibla faces.
For repeting geometry, build the section with trims/details between the sections. when duplicating it there no need to match the texture alignment.

Texture aligning on caps (GtkRadiant 1.4):

There is a GtkRadiant 1.5

[Strahlemann]

I prefer GtkRadiant 1.4

But the method i explained should work with GtkRadiant 1.5 as well
