but somewhere a long the line I've erased the text file. many apologizes 

the general level design advice you are looking for can be found here: http://www.planetquake.com/QuakeLab/QuakeLab2/articles.htm 

any1 got experience of lighting level with lights that go thru walls? (any geometry)
can have omni and spotlights and define radius 

That happens in old compilers before the community coders fixed it.

From your post it's unclear if you're experiencing a problem or if you actually want to achieve this effect. 

looking for recommendations, preferably from someone with experience (maybe someone made levels for engines where light doesnt cast shadows?)

and forget about quake plz, its for another game 

Could you be more vague? We wouldn't want anyone actually understanding what you mean now, would we? ^_~ 

Well if you're into looking at code, you could try looking at the changes that were made in the Q1 and Q2 compilers that stopped the light from "leaking" into adjacent rooms. Otherwise, I really don't know how to help you with your problem. Try programming some anti-lights, maybe? 

Import textures in Wally. Made them 64x64, 8/256 colours. Load them in Quark and start game. Q3bsp won't compile, but as soon as I change my own texture for the ones in Quake everything goes fine?

What goes wrong? I just wanted to add some Q1 textures to Quake2.
Or is it already done before? 

I'm a little confused. I bought DM-Maker for Quake1. Now opening the program it leads to a texeditor for Q1, but the submaps are all Q2 submaps.
Then compiling a Q1map it wants to export Q2 md2 maps.

Strange behaviour for a good editor program.
The site for the program is down. 

Oh please God no.

Don't tell me you paid money for that.

Somewhere, someone has your money right now and is laughing. At you. Sorry if I sound blunt, but just download GTK (it's free!) and be done with it. 

Does anyone have the Damaul neh1m4 (Grind Core) source map for Nehahra? I've tried to download it from his PQ site but the links don't seem to work anymore. 

"...DMM is the shit of my life" - QMD - RIP 2004 

has the Neh1m4 source matter been resolved? 

I'd appreciate any help in the matter. 

when I get home tonight, I'll hook an old hard drive up that should have it. 

hm... 

The Damaul map wasn't on my old drive. Would a decompilation be acceptable? BSPC, which I use, only mangles some of the liquid brushes touching non liquid surfaces. Otherwise the .maps are accurate. 

for trying. I'm aware of the decompile alternative but it won't help me; it's the original entity section I'm after. 

I swear there is a bsp compiler that has a command line argument that dumps all the ents in the .map to a seperate file if thats what your after? Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember which compiler it is :/ Sorry I cant be more helpful... 

that would be, "dumps all ents in the *BSP* file" 

Adquedit will export all entities from a bsp into a text file(and will import them back afterwards if you wanted to do the equivalent of a -entsonly compile without the original map source) 

suggestions, my own BspInfo utility can extract entities also, but it won't help in this case. The original entity section is lost if I can't find the map source. The current ent section in the bsp is crippled compared to the original. 

*tries to help, but probably makes an ass of himself*

Erm... EntEd ?
