This lists all the common textures in CoD and what they do. It's not complete yet, so if you've got something to add, please feel free to PM it to me and I'll add it. Do NOT post comments like "good job" in the tread please.

Thanks to Tank, the person who originally started this a long time ago, and thanks to whoever replied to his post back then. And thanks to qrz.

isn't terrain 2 supposed to be used on all 'walking on' brushes before giving the final textures? Doesn't this step stop you falling through the floor, or is this another texture?

You will only fall through the floor if you use alpha textures. Terrain2 texture has nothing to do with that.

I think the no draw not solid you can't see and can walk through. I have this one building on map with a window in the ceiling that I wanted to be able to jump down thru it and I tried caulk or no draw on the exploder brush and you can't see the brush but you can't walk thu it either. So I did no draw not solid and I can't see it and can walk thru it. Anyway, I hope that helps someone.

does anybody have any info on, say, the full functionality of the one-way texture (it's a common). It would be a real treat if anybody could help me out, because if it works the way i think it does, i might want to make a fun multiplayer map where players can only move in one general direction while shooting at eachother across a large space--like a lave pit or something that is rotating. It sounds kind of interesting.

so any help would be greatly appreciated!

btw if any of you loosers steal my ideas i hope you have massive fits of vomiting!


thanks again

What one way texture are you talking about?

And.. please open another topic for this, stickies are not meant for asking questions in. I'll delete this and your post in a few days :p

which clip is the one that only blocks nades but not bullets?

i assume that clip_items would do the trick, however i dont have that texture in my tools?

clip_weapglass makes a glass breaking sound when u shot it, and u can not pass through it. Also u cannot see it.

Does anyone know what Mon does? I can't seem to figure it out.
