Flickering and Just Plain Wierd
2001-04-29, 4:07 AM #1
When testing my level, there is one area which surfaces just disappear when moving about. Walls, etc. You can see the area beyond the surface that disappears. I can still play with no problem, but this is very annoying and, obviously, shouldn't be there at all. It seems similar to HOMming, but its not HOM. It flickers. I'm not getting any consistancy errors. This is an open courtyard type area, made up of several sectors, and rather intricate at certain points. I didn't have this problem until I 'made' some windows in a wall. Any suggestions (and not 'get rid of the windows'?

Thanks! :-)

how do you know it's not HOM? do you mean the whole screen flickers or just certain surfaces?

By any chance are those surfaces flaged as sky?

Is there TONS of detail? If so, that's the problem. The JK engine can only withstand a certain amount of adjoins in view before it starts 'a wierd flickering HOM effect'. I'm afraid you'll have to get rid of the windows. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] Of course, I can't say that for sure, because I haven't seen the area in question.
