What if I have a bezier patch on my crack? I mean, do I need a shot or something? 

lol 

Are there really any people that need mapping help ? 

I mean, unlike you, who knows EVERYTHING about mapping and never, EVER have any problems getting things running. 

i think so cos its useful as a discussion to solve bugs and other stuff even if some guys are "PROS". after all. not everyone is a l33t sp mapper. 

like, hello, wtf is going on with teleports? Or am i just being dumbass cos i havent mapped since god knows when? 

<quote>Or am i just being dumbass cos i havent mapped since god knows when?</quote>

it's possible... ;)

seriously, make sure the info_teleport_destination has enough room for the player, and make sure the target/targetnames match up.

it would be nice to know a little more of your problem though, dude... 

1:
To bring more contrast in a map using Q1rad I'd like to change the radius of an ordinary light without changing the brightness.
(Sort of like the _cone2 function for a light_spot)?
Is this possible?

2:
When starting up the map I get: edict.. yada yada... 'pitch' is not a field.
As far as i know I fed in proper values for the pitch of the light source and it displays correct in the map so no nead to worrie or..?!

Is it a question or my .fgd file not being able to handle this pitch function for Q1rad? 

it really isn't a field, in Quake at least. Most custom light compilers make their extra field names start with underscore so that the engine will ignore them. Example: _wait, _color, etc. If q1rad has a 'pitch' field added, then you're going to have to put up with the in-game warnings, unless you remove it from the bsp after running q1rad. I think this can be done with a program that tyrann wrote that remove everything except the 'classname' and 'light' fields from a light entity. Or maybe it's 'classname' and 'origin.' Look around for it. 

only the classname is important. (and any target/targetname fields too). the actual entity is not even needed (i think) if the light is non-switchable, since all the lighting is already pasted onto the walls from the light utility. if you don't have tyrann's program, just go in edit.exe, (or notepad) and replace 'pitch' with '_pitch'. 

Thanks, I'll try to get my bsp-act together :)

No way to change the radius (question1) I guess!? 

I'd like to know this too. It's quite difficult to light an area correctly if that light that will do it has to be blindingly bright... :( 

lower -bounce # 

but that is like -scale: lowering the range of all the lights in the map... 

its not really
lazy to explain, just try it
less bounce - more contrast 

Is there a netvis version for quake?
I saw it there ->>

but the link is dead.
anyone have this util? 

You could run Beowulf or some distributed computing software if you want to run vis on many PCs
