hmmmm all I can think of it somehow using SUB_AttackFinished which will allow 2 or more consecutive attacks on nightmare skill..? 

Yeah, I specifically searched the source for "skill == 3" before posting that. I was thinking something like what necros said but I couldn't figure out how I'd exploit it on an entity. 

As if Preach's on-demand mentality for revealing hacks wasn't bad enough, now he's even teasing us with it! 

Lunaran, you were so close! Here's the trick:

That's an awesome post, Preach. Really detailed, explains the whole hack thoroughly and ties it up in a neat package.

Much appreciated! 

 

Hi. Short question:
Is there any Quake 1 compatible version of Radiant that works properly in Windows 8.1?
I can't get any of the available versions to work. I 've tried everything... 

I've made a post about this over at quake3world because this project is q3map2. However, I remember seeing this in Cartographer's Nightmare and how I banged my head against the wall for hours trying to figure it out.

The issue is that even though a light is placed in the very center of a symmetrical room some shadows are asymmetric. Take a look here in q3map2 and here in bsp29.

It's driving me nuts. Anyone know what's going on here?

two verticies of a plane are in the same position, meaning the normal of the plane cannot be determined. essentually this results in infinite possibilities, which is something that software tends to dislike.
otherwise known as a degenerate triangle. 

It must be something else. I'll have a look tonight. 

Yeah, you missed a negative sign there Spike. :) 

Pff, everyone is always focusing on the negatives nowadays! 

How big in size can a func_door be?
How many brushes can a func_door consist of?
Can i move those out of world, and back in? (Not out of bounds)
I can�t get a pretty big door to work properly.
Using QS. And zer progs.
Thanks!

Really? *sigh* 

Why in the WORLD would there be a limit of 64 lightmaps? I'd expect that limit to be jacked up somewhere near 64,000 or so. 

That is just a warning that stock engines won't support it. Quakespasm and others can handle that! 

I'ev been deceived of that wording before. 

OK ... it seemed bad because the level was black after I saw it. Like it gave up on lightmaps. But then lighting was back on the next rebuild ... Oh Quake!! 

So ... to ping the crowd ... QBSP runs, LIGHT runs ... the map loads into Quake and is black.

Any thoughts? I already tried being confused and saying, "What the fuck?", a lot. 

Light just failed... to state the obvious, check the light log.

Aside from that I don't know of anything that will kill all lights apart from qc.

Does it kill all lights or some/most of them? 

All ... the level is just black. LIGHT gets to 100%, no errors. It's weird. I imagine, like most Quake errors, if I keep working on the level it will fix itself somehow. :P 

---- light / TyrUtils v0.14 ----
extra 2x2 sampling enabled

FFS, as predicted ... added more brushes, kept working, lighting is back.

Sorry for spam!
