Hello PPL,

Has it ever happened to anyone else? A king of smearing, as though a part of the map gets pasted across your view as you change orientation? Any fixes?

Thanx for any thoughts suggestions

you don't mean BSP holes? Hall of Mirrors effect?

Hail the King of Smearing! :D

Well yeah at 4-5am maybe I can be pardoned for a typo. And yeah it is, as I have come to learn HOM, and or BSP holes. Now that that's established, does anyone else have any links and or constructive info?

Thanx n advance

everybody has this problem on a regular basis and there have been many threads in the past discussing it. if i were you i'd use the forum's search function and search for HOM or BSP hole or both. you'll find a lot of helpful suggestions in those threads.

Is the smearing confined *just* to the Zone portal?
Are you already looking through one Zone Portal when you see at the second one?

this has happened to me, plenty of time :D

take on of the sheets you have blocking one of the zone portals and rotate it in the overhead wireframe view. rebuild, and test. if that doesnt work, rotate the other. i had to do that over and over until i found the right combo, and it works now.

Thanx all, that was very constructive info;

Phragmites I did and it was very helpful.

NutWrench yes, I kind of knew it would be easier to do by building the structure in question in an enclosed space, but I wanted it out in the "open" for visual effect and sniper access.

Jenkins hmmmm sounds reasonable, I'll give it a shot.

Thanx again.
