My first thought was "zero-g fighting", but I did wonder how people should get to fly in the map...

Yeah, when I first heard about z-fighting, I thought it was when u fought somewhere special, maybe in a very small hallway!:P
But I'm much more wiser now!:)

Thx, now I understand better... I always look thru every inch to insure that there isn't z-fighting, but untill now, I didn't have a word for it...
,,I go through every inch of my level, to insure that there isn't any "brush-overlapping-eachother-textures!",,
I might have said stuff like that, LOL:)

Z-fighting occurs in your map where two brushes compete to see which is seen by the player at any one time.

Example: You have two brushes that intersect like two sections of floor. They will each compete to show "their" texture right at the ground level.

It's best to just trim brushes back so they don't overlap at all. I can't really think of any reason that you would need brushes to overlap.

Here’s where I got my info:

Don't quote me on this, but I think Z-fighting is when you have 2 brushes that overlap each other. I guess it's the opposite of a leak.
I'm pretty sure that's correct.
