www.nofadz.com/blackened/hltuts/rescale.html I wrote that a long time ago, it covers pretty much all of your problems, bowever there are some extra stuff I had to do later to fix a few other issues; but I can't quite remember what I had to do. I also don't hava ccess to my folder on nofadz right now to update that thing either. (the admin vanished after he got married..)

Actually, the player model would collide with the world correctly, but would not collide with monsters correctly (the player would stop a short distance away from the monsters' (Barney's) bounding box - about the distance it would keep if the collision hulls were their original sizes) until I made the changes to the hull sizes in GetHullBounds and HUD_GetHullBounds. After changing those functions, the player model (and origin) drop through the floor of the map. It also goes through the walls in the map but only in the -x or -y direction. When the player's origin x or y is approaches the wall while moving from a lower to a higher x or y value, it's as if the original collision hull was being used - the model doesn't reach the wall before stopping. Here are the steps I took for the rescale: 1. Commented out the #define's for VEC_HULL, VEC_VIEW, etc in pm_shared.c, ev_hldm.cpp, util.h, and eventscripts.h 2. Commented out #define DEFAULT_VIEWHEIGHT in client.cpp 3. Added "scale.h" to the project to centralize the hull definitions (see below) 4. Included "scale.h" in ev_hldm.cpp, pm_shared.c, ev_common.cpp, util.h, and cdll_int.cpp 5. Changed all the VEC_blah references in pm_shared.c to PM_VEC_blah to avoid name conflicts; same for VEC_DUCK_VIEWS in ev_common.cpp 6. Changed GetHullBounds and HUD_GetHullBounds to return the new hull sizes 7. Added calls to UTIL_SetSize in Cmd_Start as suggested in Omega's tutorial 8. Created a test map (an empty cube) and compiled using Zoner's tools with a new hullfile I have posted my new scale header file and the changed GetHullBounds functions at http://webpages.charter.net/entropy/rescale.txt Could this be a problem with the map compiling tools, or have I missed a necessary change in the code? Thanks in advance for any help.
