It's an option in the func_rotatingdoor entity. I'm amazed it's not been used more before, self-closing doors are a pain and unrealistic. The way I see it is if you want a door closed you should close it yourself biggrin:

It's as easy as a click to change this feature, so I'll review it once the map is finished. For now, I'll make all windows blocked.

I'm just having too much fun with the new architecture, right now. Crossfire wasn't too diverse externally (essentially, all I did was build the insides and box them in neatly, it's not even symetrical, not that you'd notice playing). It's quite a square structure, so the French village style is new to me, and a bit of a challenge.

I'll make this one fully intact because I want it to look lush, but looking at the votes on this thread I see the "Open outdoors" option is a close second. As soon as I've finished this map I'll start work on a third map with open fields, farmland, trenches and destroyed village areas.

I'd love to, if only I had an edit button biggrin:

Any mods care to lend a hand?
