Custom Map Makers

welcome Dougy.

are you planning on continuing your athens map? I would be curious to see it.

same here

I am working on a map at the moment. I am extensively using light emitting/non solid/detail/invisible brushes to create lights. this is done with the following shader: textures/test/inv_light { q3map_lightColor .1 .1 .3 q3map_surfacelight 300 q3map_nolightmap surfaceparm nomarks surfaceparm nonsolid...

I'm going to ask the obvious questions now. Why might this be better than using a light entity? Do you still need that shader listed in your shaders file afterwards? This is just an opinion, light/invis brushes are very conveniant in some situations, for example, ambiant light in rooms and corridor...

I think that would no longer be a problem, since the brushes are deleted from the bsp.

surfaceparm nodraw? lol
And please rename the strip surfaceparm to q3map_strip since surfaceparms are game related

checked what I told you on irc, nodraw faces can't emit light.

welcome back then

nice work Johnny !

the map really looks nice, put a sofa in the lounge and then the bots are definitely safe from me
