5.7 Collision detection

SOLID_NOT = 0;                 // no interaction with other objects
                                // inactive triggers
SOLID_TRIGGER = 1;             // touch on edge, but not blocking
                                // active triggers, pickable items
                                // (.MDL models, like armors)
SOLID_BBOX = 2;                // touch on edge, block
                                // pickable items (.BSP models, like ammo 
box)
                                // grenade, missiles
SOLID_SLIDEBOX = 3;            // touch on edge, but not an onground
                                // most monsters
SOLID_BSP = 4;                 // bsp clip, touch on edge, block
                                // buttons, platforms, doors, missiles


The first 2 of course are not solid.

BBOX are the explode boxes and some odd level architecture here and 
there.

SLIDEBOX are mostly monsters and players

BSP are all the doors, plats, func_walls, etc.

In darkplaces if you set:

r_showbboxes 2

it will show all those - colors in order are

0 white
1 purple
2 green
3 red
4 blue

As far as exactly what they are and do...that is buried in the engine 
code.
I know the BSP solid exactly follows the brush structure.  The others go 
by bounding box.
Darkplaces also adds some options.

And when I figure out how to upload it, I'll put up some of my html 
linked quake-c manuals.

Also, I covered this on the qc forum somewhere...I need to link that 
stuff in as well, so
this will likely be a continuing work.
