Buildings sinking through patch meshes.
« on: October 31, 2009, 04:14:31 pm »
Well you know how buildings, when built ontops of a patch mesh sink into it and dissapear. How can you stop this. I know the obvious option (putting lots of solid blocks underneath the patch mesh), but is there a better way to do it? As the stated method is quite cumbersome.

I think you are mistaken. I have a curved table, entirely made out of meshes, and if i build ontop of it, it sinks underneath.

I guess only the model sinks, not bounding box? (cg_drawBBox 1)

Yeah, I know the bb stays the same(handy for Semi-glitchbuilding in some maps)
Although, I've only ever had it happen in odd circumstances....

Are you using a shader on the patch mesh?

I have some large patch meshes in my maps and buildings dont fall through... as above, is there a shader being used?

The meshes are just textured.

I'd take a screenshot but screenshots dont work for me, they write, but to nowhere.

They would probably write to C:\Users\mypc\AppData\Local\Tremulous\base\screenshots
