Plan B: Yeah similar to that, i was thinking more of comparing the player height with the grid. I guess the player height is equal to this grid: '7' = 64 units

Does anyone know how big is one gridsize in GTKrad with "Grid8" (in units)?.

*bump*, edited my post. Update: I think i got the hang of it.. the misc_portal_camera IS the portal view, then the surface is the display of the camera view. Not sure what "target position" does :s. The portal views in quake 3 is pretty ***** wierd, does anyone know how to rotate a entity ...

I tried bubbas portal camera tutorial but all i get is a mirror view. What i do is all that says on that tutorial which is.. 1.) Make a brush, set it to nodraw and then the front face to portal_sfx 2.) Place the misc_portal_surface entity 64 units from the face then the misc_portal_camera just in fr...

Camera Portal Tutorial

Ah, thanks! . I was looking for how to make the portal view thing.

Also, does anyone know how to make a portal like the one you walk through at q3dm0?.

Is there some way of using another texture for mirrors? (not textures/common/mirror). I saw a map called "13black_se" (something like that) that used the mirror for the floor but they used a floor texture, i looked into the shader (seen below), but if i use another texture for a mirror it ...

This sky looks like like Half-life 2 when the citadel is collapsing

Oh its a contest.. didnt know that .

@FKD: Where can i download this map?

@Kaz: Neat!, can you upload it?.

Thanks for the replies. I also was wondering if its possible to do these doom 3 handrails and pipes in quake 3?.

I did some searching on how to make pipes for quake 3 and i came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4DzqNoI2oo

I think you can do the same method for handrails.

Well im currently working on my quake 3 engine and have been wanted to do a SP mod but i dont have any artist nor map makers so im up for it. I like more of a half-life 2 style of gameplay / world.

Hmm i dont think they are models for two reasons. One: The handrails couldnt be a model because you cant scale a model (i think) in Hammer and when you cant scale a model you can make it fit in the world. Two: If these are to be models i think i would have seen them in garrys mod (since garrys mod c...

Nice!, so are there any tutorials for how to do these?, i have been looking around but never really found what im looking for.

Hey there, im kinda new to making maps and i wanted to do some techmaps for my engine and i looked at half-life 2 map "ravenholm" (since HL2 maps looks similar to q3) and i saw some detail stuff i wanted to do in my techmap but i dont know how so here we go. 1.) The first picture starting ...

@Pat Howard: Now THATS! some nice detail in a q3 engine. Is it possible to have the same detail in a q3 map as say in a hl2 map?.
