To add gravity constantly move the camera downward.

Use the void dbSetBSPCollisionHeightAdjustment ( int collisionIndex, float height ) to set the height of "player eyes" also remember to set the BSP camera using the void dbSetBSPCamera ( int cameraID ) command otherwise you wont get the benefits of BSP PVS culling.

To pull the camera down just call the void dbPositionCamera ( float x, float y, float z [, int cameraID] ) with dbCameraPositionX, dbCameraPositionY and dbCameraPositionZ. Add a negative motion to the Y axis and thats it. If you call this command every loop you will pull the camera down, so when you step off the edge in your BSP map you will actually fall.

Put this:



in your loop. Replace the word "gravity" with your desired rate at which to pull the camera down (2 or 5 may be okay).

Olby gave you everything you need, you can't expect us to do everything for you, especially if this is for a class.

For stairs you probably need sliding collision, which is included in Sparkys Collision or DarkDynamiX.

DB BSP's use sliding collision furthermore BSP's cannot be used in tandem with Sparky's or DarkDynamix unless a separate copy of BSP mesh is loaded as X or either DBO.

Try tampering with dbSetBSPCollisionThreshhold ( CollisionIndex, Sensitivity.f ) this will allow you to affect collision responsiveness to change of surface. I once used to use BSP maps a lot, they are limited and copyright restricted (no free-ware, open source BSP compilers exist) but are good starting point in DB programming.
