edit those to &#8216;point&#8217; to your folders \/ textures \/ shaders, re-save to a location of your choice and then load ready textured into Radiant.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to use &#8216;auto clipping&#8217; on the models instead of applying manual Playerclipping in Radiant you&#8217;ll need to write a shader; see below for an example of a &#8216;basic&#8217; shader that has autoclipping (change the texture paths as you see fit). <b>warning<\/b> : be warned that if you use auto clipping extensively you&#8217;ll be generating a colossal amount of extra brush faces that count towards the total brushcount limit in Q3 engined games&#8230;
