Crates are also good for vis-blocking.

matt, do you even know what vis-blocking is?

a crate, of normal dimensions would never do so.

His response wasn't anti-box...it was just asking if you understood what VIS blocking is, as a crate would not do it for you unless it had a very specific HINT brush applied around it.

Yeah, the fabled Magic Hint Brush of Atlantis. It's rumoured to be able to reduce r_speeds in any map to zero.

HINT hardly ever helps, except I've found it to actually work alright with the triangle terrain fairly well just by splitting it along the lines that it already does, and it allows the calculations to work faster and the final output is more accurate. But alas, somehow people have the misconception that HINT removes bad mapping...
