<div class="IPBDescription">Ask anything mapping related</div> Allright, I feel there needs to be a thread where quick mapping questions can be asked without having to create a new thread.

I'll go first to start the thread of, if I use various models to enhance my map that share the same textures, can I save texture memory/disk space by using external textures (*T.mdl files) to store textures in a separate model from the geometry and somehow reusing these for all the models that share the same textures?

    How could I set the default hive (the first hive that is pre-built at the beginning of the round)?

    In ns_ maps one of the team_hive 's is chosen randomly. You have no influence on which hive is chosen fist.
    And on co_ maps it doesn't matter since it's only one hive anyway.

    @Soylent green
    theoretically it should work, but you better ask that a experienced modeller <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    The only problem I see is, that the *T.mdl files never get detected by *.res file generators and that can lead to trouble.

    Clipping or vertex editing. If you want, you can also use the cylinder primitive.

    If you don't have the second one on your screen enable it by "View" -> "Screen Elements" -> "Object Bar"

    Good idea on the thread, maybe you could get it stickied?
