I have to keep those in mind.. what if I don't want to use sun as main light source, because you can not set different sun light colors for each section of map? 

Argh, I dropped the ball on that.. I set up a gamepack for 1.6 a while ago but I need to bug the GTKR folks to add it to SVN and include it with the builds.

The gamepack is linked here along with some documentation on the Q1 support:
https://github.com/TTimo/GtkRadiant/pull/290

It should work if you download my Q1pack and put it in the "installs" directory of GTKR 1.6.

If you have trouble getting it to work, here is a build of 1.6 I made ~2 years ago that has the gamepack installed and supports quake out of the box. http://www.quaketastic.com/files/tools/windows/level_editors/gtkradiant-1.6-quake1-beta.zip

Also any feedback on the gamepack would be welcome, I haven't seriously used it tbh. I got the .def from gb, I think it's a standard .def that has func_detail added. 

Just don't use sun - you can just place lights in the sky to get a similar effect. 

 

Thanks. It works. The def file is not very good compared to my old one from 1.5, incomplete or missing entity descriptons.

Showstopper for me is that the floating window layout is broken (still). Entity window is always on top. Similar to NetRadiant, the additional layout options never seem to get any attention from the developers. 

Looking for the waterfall texture used in maps such as Than's Subterranean Library or Lunaran's jam2 map. I am going through the wads directory and checking out previews but fail to see it! More specifically of the blood variety. 

Open TexMex

Click File
Click Open
Type "c:\quake\jam2\maps\yourmap.bsp"

You will be looking at the textures from the map. 

I made not narrow walls and for some reason enemies tried to walk over it, is there any way to make enemies not try something like that? clip texture effect player as well but I would like to use something just specifically for enemies. 

I made narrow walls* 

Sorry again.. I mean crooked/twisted/tilted walls.. sure I use narrow hallways, but wasn't talking about them in this case* 

@Baker I know was tronyn, I done bad the question, now I ask to he 

Ah, too bad. Could I include your better-quality .def in the gamepack? 

So, I use multiple blue colors, and only value that changes is Lum (luminous value of color). I try to use same thing for different colors that are not main colors, for example blue violet. I separate to 2-3 different tints(dark -> light) of that color. As an result I get weird pink colors, if colors are close or in exact same position.. so I guess this works only for main colors, red, blue, green, when there is no mixed other colors.

This starts feeling like painting for real, but without seeing results as fast.

If someone is experienced user with colors, a little lecture would help me a lot. Simply answer "do not use mixed colors" is something I will ignore immediately, because I want to learn and use colored lights. I was watching color theory videos on youtube, and getting some nice ideas how to choose own color palettes, but many modern games uses multiple colors in same places and they blend together smoothly.. it is hard to explain why, because I'm not expert in those subjects, and I'm sure quake works a little differently (because it is old game) - but any lighting techniques/secrets that might make it feel like 'modern' would help a lot.

I have been playing around different delay settings, and when used together gives interesting results, just like what I wanted. For example using delay 2 to push our shiny color, then make it lighter and using 0 / 5. Shamefully something like that didn't worked quite well for color "blue violet". 

Multiple lights of different colors is probably going to make it harder instead of easier to do what you want. Quake's colored light is basic RGB 0-255. All 0 = black, all 255 = white.

For example, a light that's 0 0 255 is pure and saturated blue. To lighten or desaturate it, add equal amounts of red and green, such as 80 80 255. Boost or cut the amount or red or green slightly to change the tint toward purple or yellow.

Or you can go the other way. The center of the texture light3_8 is actually a pinkish color. Instead of pure white, set the light color to something like 255 240 224 

It only looked like it works but.. does this really works this way too?

If I add same about for both red and green, but at the beginning one of them has more than the other.

for example 100 80 255.. 120 100 255.. 140 120 255 and so on. I tried something like that and color changed but kept.. the same base color only more brighter. Or maybe it only just looked like it worked. 

first hit on google:

http://www.colorpicker.com/ 

I use
http://www.color-hex.com/color-names.html and
http://paletton.com/

That looks neat too.. not sure how it works though. I was just wondering that idea of using same color but only brightness changes. First I had wierd problems with blue violet color and it turn into pinkish color. But doing it right.. I guess.. it keep in same color only brightness changed. So I guess what I was trying to ask was, what did I do wrong at the first place when it turn into pinkish colors.

So hopefully this thing never happens to me again. 

Can func_door_secret open upwards?

I have a func_door_secret with "angle" set to "-1" but it slides sideways to open. 

I think that http://www.colorpicker.com/ which Kinn provided the link to, will help you understand better what's going on. Hex codes and color schemes are for web page designers, so don't worry about that for now.

The boxes down the right side let you enter a color in two different ways or in a combination of both. HSL and RGB. Try changing the numbers in them and watch how the selector dot moves.

H Hue is color
S Saturation is basically how far from pure white
L Luminance or Brightness is how far from pure black

Try entering 0 0 255 for RGB. Look at the resulting numbers for S and B. Try changing S and B from 100 to 75, 50, 25, etc, watch how the picker dot moves and note the changes in the RGB numbers. 

Just delete the "func_door_secret" option from the classname, make it a commen func_door and add a message for your secret door.

The door_secret code is only one way.

Thanks,

"angles" "-90 90 0"

produced my desired effect. 

If I has button on the ceiling, is it possible to make it go up when shot by using that same idea? 

Yep, it's possible, you don't use "angles" though:

"classname" "func_button"
"angle" "-1" // -1=button goes up when pressed; -2 would go down
"health" "1" 

Thanks, that will help so much now that I know how to do it in a right way.. was using func_train ealier*
