Patch for q3map2 that needs testing (TERRAIN BUG)

Please apply this patch to your q3map2, and compile a map that with current q3map2 gets holes in the terrain. Also, try changing the misc_model spawnflags from 6 to 22. It looks like this patch actually fixes the big bug with models in maps, but I want it to be tested before I send it to the q3map2 guys.

The bug was that planes are snapped to axial planes when possible (otherwise, it creates too many planes) - however, the snap routine rotated the plane around the ORIGIN to change the normals. So the 0.25 degrees snap angle it allowed could become so much that it even destroyed brushes.

I modified the snapping routine so it ensures that a point of a triangle stays on the plane when it is rotated.

Seems to work fine for me.

Thanks alot. Great stuff.

I used Spawnflags 6 in Silvion, and so far I haven't seen any map holes. Would there be any advantage to using this new patch in the next build?

[divVerent]

No, it would neither help nor hinder.

BTW, I could confirm that this patch fixes the hole on brokenworld. I'll make a version of brokenworld without the hole.

To check for holes:

r_showcollisionbrushes 0.6
r_showcollisionbrushes_polygonfactor -8

helps quite much.

What I wanted to say: Mappers, take this patch and build us some cool terrain maps

Done, and working on another.

I updated the patch a little. It now even closes the tiny grenade sized holes on testterrain that my patch did not get rid of before.
