Func_Msgboard: Tyrutils-ericw V0.15.1

Posted by ericw on 2015/07/14 00:34:45

Hey, I got around to setting up a website for my branch of tyrutils: (complete with lots of screenshots of different settings of AO, sunlight, etc!)
http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw
and making an "official" release of it.

Nothing major changed compared with the last snapshot (may 1st), but a couple new things:

* .lux file support from Spike, for deluxemapping
* gamma control with -gamma flag and "_gamma" key
* rename -dirty flag to -dirt for consistency
* fence texture tracing is now opt-in only with the "-fence" flag.
* light should run a bit faster

This doesn't have lit2. Not sure what to do with that, tbh.

If there's a demand for it, I was thinking I could make a tool that upscales all textures in a wad by 2x or 4x, and adds a "-2x"/"-4x" suffix to the names. You could then manually get the higher-res lightmap on certain faces by applying the upscaled texture, and lowering the texture scale to 0.5 or 0.25 in your editor.

The only real disadvantage of this hacky method over lit2 is more face subdivision by qbsp. This isn't great, but it shouldn't be an issue if the hack is used sparingly (and bsp2 can be used if needed for higher face/vert limits.)

Anyway, enjoy, I hope this is pretty bug-free.

Some Ideas

Random HOM like this could happen in q3 if the vis wasn't optimal, sealing or cutting sections up with hint faces could fix it. Also try increasing your engines limits; or dividing your map up so it's not rendering so much at once.

Compile Error For Qbsp

#1029 posted by TdB on 2019/01/17 21:13:41

when I qbsp-compile a(non-trivial, more than 1 room)map with a detail-brush in it, and use the cmd-switch: _forcegoodtree.
I get the error message: "C:\projects\ericw-tools\qbsp\outside.cc:97: Q_assert(p->nodes[1]->planenum == -1) failed.
#### Finished with exit status 1
