models + celshader = eye pain

[GoogleCodeExporter]

whenever a misc_model is placed in a map that uses cel shading, ugly black 
squares show up floating a little bit away from the model's surfaces making the 
model hard to see and enjoy in a map.

(attached a photo of the problem.)

I'm afraid I can't do much about that. Celshading is something that's done by 
q3map2 and the rendering engine. I cannot change anything about it in a mod. 
I think the visual style of your map looks really cool though. Reminds me of 
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

One more thing: I think it should be possible to disable cel shading on 
specific entities (in this case your misc_model entity) by setting a certain 
key.

I read a hint about it here: 
http://shaderlab.com/q3map2/manual/drafts/ent_keys.htm#celshading

Try giving your misc_model a _celshader key that points to an empty shader and 
see if that removes the celshading effect. Or maybe a custom shader that does 
apply cel shading but play around with the values in the shader to have it draw 
thinner lines that are closer to the map model. Not sure how flexible q3map2's 
celshader system is, but it's worth playing around with I guess.
