This should get rid of your disappearing doors and objects. You can also get this if there is a leak in your level. BSP does not always give you a leak message, I have found.

I don't think that they are leaks. The last section of what I hope to be a 32-player deathmatch level I am working on, had less than 300 brushes. I also had a secret door that you could see thur at certain places in the room it was located. How do I get rid of these glitches? I have heard about commands you can enter into the Quake console to debug a level, but I have yet to see a explanation for newbies for them. I did find a command called r_speeds 1, I tried it, but I didn't understand what the numbers were for. Help!?

Problem is, when I compile the level, I have doors that disappear when viewed from certain angles. I've also seen areas turn gray. This doesn't happen in GL mode, only in software mode. Does this have anything to do with the thickness of the doors? Mine are 4 units thick. I get no errors when running BSP, VIS, or RAD. I've put a lot of work into this level, and I'd hate to have to start over. Any suggestions? Thanks! Mike mhanson@citicom.com
