k. Just thought of another question. (I know im annoying).
Everywhere i go, everyone's saying "CSG is evil", "dont use CSG". But no-one ever tells me what happens when you use CSG. So, can anyone tell me what the side effects of CSG are?

Lo "AlexW"

Again a very annoying post from an very annoying person.



Just kidding M8.

There are people that say you can use it and there are
people you better don't.

I have never had or seen an good argumentation why not to
use it.

So actually this is a very good post.

Ok now where to start? The CSG tools can and may ( if not used with care ) cause tiny brushes / infinate brushes ( Node without volume ) / splits / invalid faces and can shut down radiant. Using CSG can and may cause more pain than you may ever know or realize. It can cause more compiler errors than you'll want to try and fix. THE UNSEEN BRUSHES WILL NOT GO AWAY! You can try and fix some problems that may show up when using CSG by using the Clean Brushes option, but does not always work.

Now if you want to use the CSG tools then you have to experiment with them and test them to see the what you can and can't do with them.. So of course you do this in a new map, not one you are working on.. But of course you do this at your own risk.. I hope this answers your question..
