Heya all, I just started using the CoD4 Radiant and i can't seem to fix the glass in the windows. The glass seems to make the walls see through. See screenshot for example.



Can someone please help me fixing this. Thank you

How do you make your glass ? Do you texture every face of the brush with the glass texture or do you texture only the visible sides and caulk the rest ?
I remember I had this problem also and I used one of the two methods and fixed it. Can't remember which of the two is the solution, though (and I don't have the tools installed).

Also, is the glass brush the exact size of the hole in the wall or is it slightly bigger ? I think it has to be the exact size, so that the glass brush doesn't pass through the wall.

it's either the caulk texture or the cullFace property of the glass material (you may create your own with cullFace none)

I'm using the glass texture called "com_glass_clear". yes it is the exact same size of the window hole, the only difference is that the glass brush is thinner than the wall. I tried all the sides in that texture, just one and the rest caulk, two sides glass and the wall-touching sides in the same texture as the wall. None of that worked.

Caulk didn't work unless i did it wrong. What is the cullFace property??

Thank you both for your answers.

okay, try this:
front and back - glass texture
sides - nodraw

you should also try other glass/transparent textures!


cullFace is a setting in Asset Manager. All stock textures are probably cullFace back, which means that it will be displayed on the face it is applied to.

cullFace front will draw it on the other side. E.g. if you textured a cube with this, it would have the texture on the inside walls.

cullFace none will display a texture on both sides. Patches in Radiant got only one visible side, but if you put a cullface none texture on it, you'll get it visible from both sides without having to copy and inverse the patch.

cullface none might solve your problem, but i recommend to solve your problem in radiant or by creating a custom glass texture.

when you compile your map, do you get any errors/warning? the glass brush could be corrupted...

The "nodraw" worked perfectly thank you a million!!

Hi, I have the same problem, with a little add:

nodraw works perfectly, but I can't have any bullet impacts when I shoot directly on the glass brush.
I have tried different nodraws tex (nodraw_decal, nodraw_notsolid, nodraw_glass) with any result.
I really hope somebody can help me, it's driving me crazy!
thx a lot

How did you compile map lighting?

On "fast", bullet impacts won't show, untick it for normal lights or tick "extra"

nodraw - This makes it non-solid
nodraw_glass - This makes it like glass, you can shoot through(like walls) but not walk through.

Always use nodraw_glass in this case!

I have tried all this, with any result..maybe I made some mistakes with brushes
structure, I'll check this out.
Anyway, I changed texture and it works! Not the textures I want, but can work for now.

thx a lot to everyone!
