has more hulls than Q1 (5 or 6 I think), so my utils won't do I'm afraid. It appears to use the same bsp version number (29), though. I've never tested anything with H2 maps (I don't have the game either). 

I looked into Hexen 2 stuff a while back... yes, you do have to use the Hexen 2 specific compilers, and unfortunately (when I looked, at least) they're pretty basic and didn't include all the fancy things we've come to expect in the updated Quake tools.

However, I last checked something like 2 years ago, so perhaps someone has released some modified tools since then. 

Well they are still rather basic, although we do have colered lighting and a few other options like minlight, fade and range that's really all.

Maybe I can get Korax to look and see if he can add more options to them. Which compilers that are out are the best right now? I can only think of Tryan's and aguiRe's tools. 

want to beta test a q1sp? an engine that supports external texture replacement is recommended (fitzquake, tomazquake, ...?) not necessary though. 

Several people seem to have problems setting the gamma (brightness) in my new GLQuake engine. Just add the -gamma x command line option, where x can be e.g. 1.1 or any float value that gives a good result.

GLQuake only sets the gamma at startup, so it doesn't help changing it in-game.

This information has also been added to the readme. 

helped me load a map that was over the limit on marksurface, clipnode and lightmaps. :D 

necros, thanks! 

Did you get my e-mails from last week. One of which was quite legnthy though I don't know how useful it may have been. 

i hope you backed it up...

the last email i have from you is dated apr30. :\

did you get the reply i sent on the 30th? 

I've just re-sent it.

I believe it to be the lengthy version. Last dated e-mail I have from you is dated April 28. 

about having difficulties with the demo file play back, and it may need to be broken down with Keygrip due to the legnth -- or just redone from the start at a quicker pace perhaps. 

thanks for that. there was no demo though... 

Should i have an email thread where people can ask each other whether they recieved various emails? It seems like it would get a lot of use, considering the last few months... 

Just add a private messaging feature so people can use that rather than emailing each other...

Or don't, because that'd be a whole lot of work and not really necessary. I seem to be volunteering you for a lot of work lately, feel free to tell me to get bent. :D 

I think that would be a really great idea. The conduct of e-mail in these past few months has been unbelieveable. Necros, I'll do another demo run of the map tommorow night (tonight I am one tired little Quake Guy). 

alright, thanks a lot. i appreciate it. it's been hard to get beta testers lately. 

I was joking. Just get email that works! 

Ok, my map is ready to be unleashed on the world, but being a noob I don't have access to any sort of file hosting.

It's a 6 meg zip. Can anyone recommend anything? 

ignore the above post - i've sorted it. 

it was worth a shot 

Sorry, it turns out I haven't sorted it at all. Ok, I know this might be a bit of a stretch (being new round here 'n' all), but would anyone here be willing to accept a ~6 meg email attachment and stick it on a server temporarily until I get some hosting sorted out? 

Then we would see a lot of posts about "did you get my private message?" 

But when has that stopped any of us?

To reply to your post in the bastion thread - what are marksurfaces exactly?
