I found a cool bug. In both towers, if you crouch at the point where the first stairs from roof meet a horizontal part and then just take a leap of faith, you end up on an invisible ledge. Also you can then walk halfway into the wall. The eastern invisible ledge is bigger than than the western one.

Thanks to Mastro for demonstrating it.

For fucks sake, I knew it!
The seed for the BSP trash in the tower of DXSG_Cathedral wasn't entirely caused by my average mapping skills!

Yes I'm fairly sure this arch behind it is the cause of the bridge issues that you had, it's fairly close to the bridge.

I only had a quick look, but it's one of the most complex custom brushes I've seen, damn Medieval architects!

Now what would be interesting, is seeing if the error can be removed without removing the archway.

You could export the complex arch brushworks and turn them into models, then slap them back into the map.

WHAT? No.

Apart of the fact that models somehow look artificial and not integrated into the world, you how how too complex brushes look as models *points to stargate*

No, a model can not subtract into an add brush. Maybe some other subtraction and a mesh over it, but that defeats the object and would look horribly out of place unless the lighting could match.

Static meshes for DX would be really good
Simple LodMeshes are ugly as they are using per-vertex lighting, and they have only collision cylinder

Believe me, I'm crying about that for at least 7 years already.
My static mesh ring-transporter model looked pretty good in UT2004.

I'm learning mapping in UDK, it's way easier to make beautiful maps with static meshes :/

BUT DX > UT SERIES
