i tried the compensation thing and it didnt work that well. a weapon/attack that used UTIL_TraceHull suddenly f*cked up. it worked before the GetHull... fix, with the GetHull fix and the zhlt hack the players get stuck in the walls. so i've just stopped with the pre-GetHull fix code for now.
maybe valve could resolve this issue - ie wtf is wrong with our code or a fix to engine in the next release? jc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Entropy" <<a href=/faq.html#spam>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>> To: <<a href=/faq.html#spam>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>> Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 6:23 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Rescaling clipping problems (again!) > I believe I have found the source of the clipping errors after rescaling. > If you look at pmove->visents[x].model->hulls for the world and BSP > models, you'll see that the clip_mins and clip_maxs for the hulls are the > original hull sizes.
