Texture problem in huge maps

[SquiSHeR]

Hi,

I've got a mapping problem with my latest creation. Its a very big map with very long corridors. The problem in Q2 is that it happens that Q2 doesn't draw all textures at the far end of a corridor. I think this is a common problem I have seen in some other custom maps already. It looks like as if you look right into a leak.

Does anybody know this problem? Is it a Q2 bug or can I do something to avoid it?

sounds like a back clipping plane problem..   REALLY long hallway?

Yes its a very huge area!! What is a back clipping plane problem? How to handle it?

Make smaller areas.

"The back clipping plane is a plane perpendicular to the line of sight;
objects behind the back clipping plane are clipped from view."

The q2 engine stops rendering objects beyond a certain distance.
I dunno if it can be set further with a command or not.

I figured it out the first time I made a REALLY huge map in q1

The editor had a back clipping plane for it's own view window,  you could change it.
But thats where I remembered the term 'back clipping plane' from and just googled it.

The definition is from some other 3d editor not game related.
