There is something wrong with the lightning effect. It looks as if you're using the muzlebright or muzleflash in the placement of the entities as flags.
Normaly this only happens when you set a monster with a light decimal on it.
Do the Death Lords have flags in their map statements?
#20568 posted by huanlopan on 2020/09/29 19:45:43
I don't think there's any flags in their statements, at least I wouldn't know if there were. Total novice.

And I don't think I'm using a muzlebright or muzleflash, but indeed, the only lighting in the room are torches in the center. Would that have anything to do with it?

also.... quaddicted is hosting an archive of itself?
Ah!
#20571 posted by madfox on 2020/09/29 20:38:29
So they indeed have Flags in their statement.
I couldn't find theor cmoment in the tutorial, but I think you can find the cause there.
Try a bit hussling with the flags number.

Quoth qcc code is not published, but I think this is just a mapping error.
What The Fuck?
It's not a mapping error. It's working as expected.
Beg Your Pardon

Does the Fuck relatest to #20567 or #20572?

I must be as ill tempered as OTP, sorry for that.
Let's see it the other way.
Not that I'm huanlopan.
Would it be possible to change the flag options for the Quoth DeathLords? In the dimmed imgur view of Trenchboom I see a few parms.
If the defs are:
// entity effects
float EF_BRIGHTFIELD = 1;
float EF_MUZZLEFLASH = 2;
float EF_BRIGHTLIGHT = 4;
float EF_DIMLIGHT = 8;
could they be turned off by deleting some, or turn them to 0? Or doesn't this work with Quoth code.

@onetruepurple
Hey, thanks for the link, and thanks for the clarification! That's a load off. I'll peruse this Quoth tutorial page for sure.
#20575
The Death Lords has no spawnflags, and the effect cannot be turned off. It's there on purpose, and that purpose is "the Death Lord takes 50% damage when the effect is active".

Sorry for intervening on a case I have no experience.
Is There A Flag For No Monster Infighting For Quoth/id1 Content?
#20579 posted by huanlopan on 2020/10/01 17:00:16
I know there's such a thing for Arcane Dimensions, as stated on this page, but what about Quoth/id1?

#20580 posted by Preach on 2020/10/02 08:26:00
There's no flag to disable it in Quoth or ID1. In Quoth an alternative is to construct a fight using the Death Guard/Death Knight/Death Lord triumvirate as they never infight with each other - they are treated as variants of the same monster.
#20581 posted by huanlopan on 2020/10/02 09:57:30
@Preach
I see, thanks for the response. No way around it: Have to be clever with enemy placements.
@huanlopan
I used to hate infighting in my maps. But once I saw some of the clever ways players use it in a tactical sense I got over it. It's part of the game play.
But yes, you can mitigate it in enemy placement. And remember, in id1 only Grunts will infight each other. The rest of the gang will ignore their own type.
#20583 posted by huanlopan on 2020/10/03 20:15:54
^Thanks for the tip, and hey, thanks for the Trenchbroom tutorial series. It's the whole reason I'm here right now. Really enjoying making my own small map. Hoping to make bigger, more traditional Quake ones soon.

Flags
#20585 posted by madfox on 2020/10/04 21:02:14
If it is a model or static give them a flag :
"angle 180" or any number 0/360.
Thanks Madfox!!
#20586 posted by drugod on 2020/10/04 23:12:32
Useful as always, thanks bro!
Well..,
#20587 posted by madfox on 2020/10/05 03:54:10
I am still wondering how you obtain that transperant shape. Is that fence a static entity or a brush with texture?
Infighting
#20588 posted by ijed on 2020/10/05 21:22:54
FWIW: You can make Ogres infight by using monster_ogre vs monster_ogre_marksman.
marksmen also don't play their alert sound.

Its a model, looks better this way in quake engine..
Random Teleporting Out Map Boundaries
#20590 posted by Syon on 2020/10/07 21:29:22
Hi everyone, I'm new into Quake mapping. I want to create a singleplayer map but encountered a weird issue. When I move around my map, I get teleported outside the level into some location way outside of it. Can anyone tell what is going on?
For the record, I've placed only ground floor on the level, simple paths just to check it out.
Here's the shot from the map:
Screenshot -> https://ibb.co/x2JHHJy
The points with 'teleport area' are the places where if I move close to it, I get teleported far away.
Cheers
@Syon
#20591 posted by metlslime on 2020/10/07 21:38:44
One possible reason is if you are building really far away from the origin. Your map is very small so that seems unlikely, but if that is the case, move everything close to the world origin. The standard boundaries are ±4096 from the origin.
