I thought it was important to add this page because there are a lot of people out there playing new maps in old mods and wondering why the displacements in these maps don't work. An example is the updated version of [http://www.amphibian.myzen.co.uk/screenshots/screen_css_sci_fi_dev_001.htm Train] in [http://www.amphibian.myzen.co.uk/css_sci_fi/ CSS SCI FI], which uses [[SMOD]], which is based on the appid 220 code base. While there is nothing that can be done about it, this page at least explains the issue.--[[User:Fitzroy doll|Fitzroy doll]] 14:35, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

==Cheap Way==
My cheap workaround for this problem is to use a nodrawed func_clip_vphysics placed directly under the displacement. It should be vertex-manipulated to closely mirror the displacement's basic shape. It might work as well for large sandy beaches etc, but it works fine for smaller displacements (rubble, destroyed stuff). --[[User:Darthkillyou|Darthkillyou]] 17:07, 13 Aug 2007 (PDT)

Cheap Way

My cheap workaround for this problem is to use a nodrawed func_clip_vphysics placed directly under the displacement. It should be vertex-manipulated to closely mirror the displacement's basic shape. It might work as well for large sandy beaches etc, but it works fine for smaller displacements (rubble, destroyed stuff). --Darthkillyou 17:07, 13 Aug 2007 (PDT)
