Well, I've finally found a way to fulfill that ol' noobs cliche about "giving back to the community."

I brought the Segment Editor outta the deep depths of my hard-drive today and thought,"hey, why don't i try make some CSG-Cutouts, 'cos I can manage them!"

Well, I'm already starting work on the pack, guess i should put a WIP up soon,(Don't worry FredP, this one will have FPSC Screenies).Well, to cut to the chase, I decided to give away my practice CSG, nothing much, just a rectangular hole, It's in the Download and has an installer to make sure everything works fine.

Screenie:


-=EDIT=-

Don't Worry, the pack will be much better than this and also it will be free!

Thanks to X-games for his window-making tut, Nickydude for having it in his guide and Underside,(i think) for the FPSC Core Pack 1 segment used in screenie.

Perhaps watch the film,
escape from new york
for inspiration for your pack.

For some reason though these cutters always mess up on my custom segments that I have made, they give the same thing as one would get from errors in BSP maps and create massive wholes in the level, as in taking big chunks out of it beyond the cutter just messing it all up, no idea what it is, perhaps I messed up the segments in some way, I should imagine most users just use standard segments so they wont get the error.

here is the fps on the segment.

Ermm...

After checking through your .FPS i can't really see what's so different from the segments i tested this on...

I'm no expert though, but i just can't help you Fallen One, sorry.

How much depth do your test segments have, the smallest of mine are 10 units, its wouldnt suprise me if standard ones are 8 units, perhaps segments beyond 8 units mess CSG up.

I doubt it, it's more likely to be just a mesh error with the custom segments.

Probably Vorconan, as i have tested it thoroughly with no faults.....

I'm unsure what the problem is but i think it might be the OvDir setting i put in, as that prevents it firing a hole through all segments,perhaps your custom ones mess this up Fallen One?
