Hey someone. So i am wondering about 2 things.

1. i have made a basic terrain patch with my verts set 12 and 12. its a medium size patch so it had quite a few verts in it. i have stretched out some so make a sorta slope and have also broken the patch to make a hole in the middle (shift, ctrl, x). looks all fine in radiant but when in game some of the texture is missing only in certain spots of the patch. WHY?      i have made single huge terrain patches and stretched the shit outta them to make mountains or what not. say like in my map Kill Switch with out this issue.

2. Is there a way to give the clip texture a sound or a material sound. example: i made a bridge but made it from models that had to be clipped because they were non colliding like some models are. and it really bothers me when i run across is with no foot sound. like when in asset manager and making a new texture and giving a material sound.

The first one is easy:
press shift + L and select your patches, then press S and select Lmap. This will not affect the look of the texture, but will fix your patches from being overstretched.

For the second one I guess you'll have to make your own clip texture and assign a sound to that one (a simple empty .dds image, which is set to blend)

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

So i tried shift + L and then Lmapped it (just a question whats the difference between just using surface inspector vs. using while in that mode you said you use (shift + L). but still with the issue after a new compile. i'll take a screen shot later tonight maybe it will help.

So here are some pics of my problem if anyone can help. just ramdom spots of my terrain patch are missing its texture.

Did you use l-map while seeing grey and white squares or when seeing blue and red surfaces? there are two modes. this only works with the grey and white squares, especially when they look stretched or weird in some places.

Ya that's after I lmapped while in that grey/white mode. But still the issue. Its not a huge deal though really i guess its far enough away from where the player can actually go. So I may just make some brushes and over lap the missing terrain spots. thanks for helping though.  Question though what does those 2 modes do? grey/white triangle mode and the blue/red/green. I personally never knew about them?

The grey/white mode is for l-mapping (afaik). For example when you have a terrain-patch and stretch some verts really far, they get stretched too far for the lighting to work properly (the texture looks weird ingame then or it doesn't show up at all, pretty much like in your picture).
I'm still experimenting with the red/blue mode but until now it seems like the blue texture is what makes curve- and terrain-patches look smoother. eg. when you make a round corner it normally looks less edgy if you use a patch.
