Holy Crap!

Awesome! Thank you for adding surface lights to the tools ericw! And all the other little improvements!

Mirrors

#327 posted by mh on 2015/04/28 09:03:01

Am I the only one who thinks we should have a proper standard for mirrors before building infrastructure to support them? We all remember what happened with skyboxes and fog.

Am_detail

is support for am_detail dropped completely in favour of func_detail?

just to clarify how this works, it's nothing more than automated copy & paste by the compiler. the "_surface" key is put on a light, this turns that light into a template

Nice, and I like that implementation ...

This is already being used in my retro jam map :)

#332 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/04/30 01:56:17

My god. This is amazing. Just had a play with it tonight ... it's like getting lighting for free. Fuck ... FUCK. Gotta map...

Glad To Hear It

Minor Qbsp Update

#334 posted by ericw on 2015/04/30 08:25:07

win32 os x src

* qbsp: fix broken -onlyents flag
* qbsp: fix texture offset on rotate_object, so they match in the
editor. Added "-oldrottex" flag to revert to old behaviour. From txqbsp-xt.

No changes to light though.

Lighting...

#335 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/02 01:06:17

Tinkering with this, it's great. I used it for the lava in my RJ3 map but I'm toying with it for all light textures atm, it might turn out to be a really good time saver :)

lighting...

will be handy for speedmapping

#337 posted by gb on 2015/05/03 03:54:12

surface light = very good stuff!

#338 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/05/03 12:33:10

Love these lights. Simple shot below ... the only difference is the addition of a lava brush.

Crash

#339 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/03 12:35:26

Light crashes when I tried this with surface lights =

_deviance 1
_samples 4

Update

#340 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/03 12:37:58

I dont think it's surface light thats the problem.

I just made a standard light with the same keys and it crashes.

getting lazy about making all of those direct links.. This has _deviance fixed.

* light: fence texture tracing, for bmodels with "_shadow" "1"

Wait.. does this mean that a fence texture would cast a shadow of the fence? Isn't this a huge deal??

#343 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/04 16:15:59

Sadly not... it only casts the bounding box I believe.

#344 posted by JneeraZ on 2015/05/04 16:22:45

There's also a bunch of dev spam from the current light tool ... no big deal, just messy.

jitterning blah blah, or something over and over...

#345 posted by ericw on 2015/05/04 19:08:13

Yeah, the fences cast proper shadows if you use func_wall with "_shadow" "1" for the fence. This is with fence textures with the { prefix. It can be hard to see with the low light map res in quake, but could be useful in the right place. (Tree branches? A grate over lava?)

@warren, thanks for pointing that dev spam

#346 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/04 19:10:15

Are you sure? That's pretty crazy if that's true.

Yeah

#347 posted by ericw on 2015/05/04 19:39:59

I was trying to avoid posting a hideous dev screenshot ;)

Nice...

#348 posted by FifthElephant on 2015/05/04 19:59:12

I had no idea it had this feature.

#349 posted by oh, that person on 2015/05/04 20:53:56

I guess I made this thing just in time, then.

Nice!
