Graphic prob?
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 MP Mapping
what may have happened is when you were raising the terrain you only raised the _blend (alpha) texture. So the blend texture is higher then your solid texture which would cause the transparency... [more]

Bigger Player?
Call of Duty 2 : CoD2 MP Mapping
I've done the same thing when I started mapping. one trick that I learned from watching the video tutorials is to place an actor on the map so you get an idea of scale. A player is roughly 64 units tall. ... [more]
