Mapping Help
This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

Also use _dirt 1 on your worldspawn. That way you at least have a little definition in your fullbright map 
FifthElephant 
Alright, I see. I just ran it through light, so I'll post it later. Super lazy right now. 
Oh, Wait 0_0 
I just refreshed, so I have not done anything you guys said. Lol, I have time tomorrow to do it.

Fullbright map messes with my depth perception. 
 
Outdoors can have light coming from the sky, but indoor areas look better if most of the light comes from an obvious source.

The various flame/torch models actually have a "light" key The source could be a light fixture made from brushes or one that is part of a texture. Windows and lava also make good light sources.

Even with a source, you will usually have to add additional light entities for fill and to simulate light bouncing off walls.

Good lighting is hard work. 
To My Level 1 
How I make walk to a monster? 
Do You Mean A Walking Monster? 
Check this link:

Also,it could be beneficial for you to look over some of the articles there. 
Ok 
 
Testing Problem 
what engine is fine for test?

Because joequake had texture glitch, and fitz is heavy and don�t supports alt+TAB when I press it. 
Quakespasm 
Snow 
Anyone recommend somewhere I can pick up some snow/snowy rock textures for Q1 + Worldcraft? I'm a bit behind the times. Ta. 
Runewad 
There is a Rune.wad on Quaddicted with some ice and snow.
I think there are more.., daikantan.wad 
Ogro As Well 
 
 
MFX used some decent looking snow/snowy rock textures (considering the quake palette is rather poor for that sort of thing) - in the IKWhite map jam - I can't remember which jam number that was, nor do I know the source for those textures. 
 
Ruins has some snowy rocks I made by photoshopping some doom 3 Mars textures.. 
 
Thanks guys. 
List Of Keys And Entities? 
I would like to see a list of keys and entities, because I'd like to learn to make doors and all of that fun stuff. 
SpecialBomb 
all that shizzle should be in the quake wiki (in theory) https://quakewiki.org/ 
 
ok I looked and that wiki is very incomplete.

tbh, I learned everything by looking at the game code in the QuakeC files, which isn't an ideal option for everyone.

Your editor should have an entities .def file or .fgd somewhere which contains all the entity keys and "should" have text descriptions of what everything does.

What editor are you using? 
 
The old "The Forge" site linked from the Mapping Tutorials page on the Quake wiki used to have a semi-comprehensive entities list, but I see that's no longer accessible (you can get as far as the list of entities, but the descriptions are all dead). That used to be my go-to resource... 
 
ok I looked and that wiki is very incomplete.

You can change that 
Yeah Put A Link To The Forge 
 
 
The old BSP editor site is still up and has some tutorials.

Yeah, the Wiki is super incomplete, but I think it has what I need besides how doors work (not doors in vertig, that would be insane). 
Also, About Vertig's Ligting... 
I think I'm just gonna fullbright it with _dirt like FifthElphant said, I think it's a little to complex for me at the moment to carefully light the map. Maybe my next map will be fully lit, I just don't have time right now :/
