Make sure Light is checked if using the GUI.

Check your output folder for a .lit file of your map's name. Delete, and re-compile and then see.

Keep at it and we will figure it all out. 

i am using the GUi, and the light is checked.

i can't find any .lit file in my quake folder though. 

The .lit files should be in your id1\maps folder, I think, alongside your .bsps 

 

Do you have Light entities on your map? 

How to make door not stop opening or closing if it mashes some enemy to the pieces, I have been trying to create zombie masher, but soon as it touches zombie, masher stop and goes back up immediate. How to make it go all the way to the ground? 

Give the door "wait" "-1" (along with the toogle spawnflag and a trigger to keep it going.
Or use a func_train. 

If -1 wait basically makes it stay open/closed after triggering it once.. is this "toggle spawnflag" something different? 

Should I trigger at the same time also trigger_relay and make that rise the crusher back up later, after waiting couple seconds (delay)? 

The wait value makes it crush things to death in order to fully close, the additional toggle flag allows it to open/close multiple times.

For permanent, constantly moving crushers the func_train solution is better. 

 

i know the .lit files should be in the id1\maps folder, but they are not there, and my map does have light entities on it 

This is just a warning. This may be caused by planes that intersect at very acute angles. Check for "invisible walls" near the area specified. If you don't notice any problems it can usually be ignored. Making sure all vertexes are on a grid of 4 or larger might help. 

Have you done a search on your computer for your bsp's .lit file? Maybe it's been saved somewhere else for some reason. If not, maybe check your saving output paths? 

i've done that, all .lit files are from Hexen II, and i'm not mapping for Hexen.

Also, is there a tool like the necro's gui to compile maps, but for Quake II? 

Thanks for the info.

I think we may have found a way to fix and avoid getting the errors, as well as not scrapping the map, yay. 

Not sure what you mean by all .lit files are from Hexen II.

Necros' GUI is just an interface that uses external tools. Trenchbroom 2 supports Quake II mapping and has a built-in compiling interface. Its configuration is a little less n00b-friendly than Necros' but should work fine. 

.lit files are only created if you use colored lighting. There is no point in looking for these if your lights are all desat. 

A few questions:
Does light compile fine? No errors? Are you sure your light values are correct? When you launch the map, is everything pitch black or fullbright? 

Some light tools do generate .lit files even if there are no actual colored lights in the level!

However, a map with standard lighting (=no colors) does not need a .lit file as the normal lightmap data is baked into the .bsp file. 

light seems to compile fine, atleast there's no errors there. when i open the map is fullbright

so Necros's GUI supports Quake II? Because, i do know that Trenchbroom 2 has a compiling interface in it, the problem is that i never managed to get it working.
Also, what i mean is that all .lit files are from Hexen II, not Quake 

What happens when you type r_fullbright 0 in the console?

negke: interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I don't really see the purpose though. 

nothing happens 

so Necros's GUI supports Quake II?
I have no idea but if Q2 tools are similar to Q1 tools, I don't see why not. Like I said, it's just an interface that runs external programs.

what i mean is that all .lit files are from Hexen II
Yes, you've already said that. I suppose you mean that searching for .lits on your computer only returned results belonging in your Hexen II folder. 

Yes! Exactly, searching for .lit files resulted only in Hexen II files
