Shattering Problems

It's been my experience that faces will shatter along awkward vertices.. but lately I've been seeing a lot of just random shattering with no apparent cause. It's very irritating, because it destroys my R_Speeds and is the main reason I haven't released Shafted (now Stormrock Mine)

I've func-walled almost everything that could be causing it and it's still there.

This should show what I'm talking about: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A problem I have seen in other outdoor maps like this one.I think this is normal because I can see many faces in this screen shot.This should help you optimise your map: http://zhlt.info/special-textures.html

I honestly don't think a few special textures will solve a bunch of 'ghost vertices'. It's shattering wrong, and there's no brushwork causing it.. I'm stumped.

A bsp brush can be split because of:

• Another non-entity bsp brush is touching or intersecting it.
• The texture tiles, a 1024x1024 surface textures with a 128x128 texture at 1.0 scale will cut that surface up 8 times vertically and horizontally wherever the texture tiles.

It's also important to consider what compile tools your using as this is what can also cut your brushes up. Try using zhlt 3.4 if you aren't already.

I figured out what was causing all the mystery 45' lines everywhere, the texture (which was already scaled up to 1.5 at the time, but is now 2.0) was rotated 45', because I read a tip somewhere that rotating a generic texture will help alleviate the tile-iness
