I'm not sure how to remove just those two entries from a single func_* entity def. The new solid entity parameters are all inside the base solid entity class. 

the minlight also doesnt work on them. The whole ModelLight thing can be left out. 

Haha, awesome! I think this marks the first time that I've EVER had actual models show up in Jackhammer.

This is now the greatest FGD of all time. OF ALL TIME! 

* Additional options removed from func_detail as they don't work
* Re-added func_illusionary as somehow I deleted it :P

Ok, I think it's there! Let me know if you find anything else. 

]@PointClass = info_notnull : "info_notnull (spotlight target)"

This line is incorrect, the correct usage for info_notnull is for "teh hax". 

* Spotlight angle renamed to Spotlight direction
* Spotlight angle (sets spotlight cone in degrees)

Sorry I had no idea I sucked so bad at this :P Hopefully this will be final version! 

Nah, you're a hero for making this thing. It'll make Jackhammer a lot more fun to use during this jam. You've got my vote, congressmen. 

Does the -lightmapscale command only work in the dev builds? 

that got cut, I guess. See the comment about lit2 in the top post. 

* Removed setting a default for Deviance as it actually forces the light to use deviance!

This can bring your light compile to a slow crawl so be sure to update if you are using this fgd! 

Any advice on how to prevent it from creating too much light and containing it at a small fade scale? 

I need to put some examples on the website for doing lava surfaces.

Here's one that uses two surface lights on the lava: http://i.imgur.com/FAmAZlM.png

delay 2, light 20 for the fill light
delay 0, light 200 for the direct glow

If you use "delay 2" make sure to use low light values or you'll end up with a fullbright room. 

If you are using my fgd file, download the latest version of it as it causes a bug where all point lights will be deviance lights (each light is broken up into 16 lights!)

Make sure to remove any _samples key/values from any lights you have in your level, as they will be left over even after downloading the bug fixed fgd file.

If you haven't been using that fgd file, then can suggest some settings for your surface light for lava :

wait 3
delay 2
light 100

you can tweak "wait" to have the light be smaller/larger but I've found these settings to be quite nice. 

Never actually considered that you can use two lights on the same surface :O 

How the surface lighting works exactly: if you look at the BSP surfaces in-engine with "r_drawflat 1", each surface with a matching texture will get a light copied in the centre of the surface, 2 units above it. However, if a surface is larger than 128x128, it's subdivided into sections no larger than 128x128, and the lights are placed above those sections. So, you can think of the lights as being tiled roughly on a 128x128 grid.

My lava screenshot above is ugly, so if anyone comes up with a good example scene for lava settings that you want to put on the tool website, that would be welcome! 

What I've found works best for lava: use really low surface lights just to fill areas (if you find it necessary), and then hand place a couple really bright lights that will do the heavy lifting and cast your major shadows in the area.

and be sure to set "_dirt" "-1" on the lava lights, you don't want dirty corners next to your lava! 

"Never actually considered that you can use two lights on the same surface :O "

!! Same. No idea ... neat! 

You could use a 2nd light with a high offset on the lava and make it a bounce fill light.

AWWWWW YYYYEAAAAHHHH 

hey DaZ, when I try to load your .fgd (Beta 5) in TrenchBroom I get the following error:

"Parse error at line 26, column 39: Expected token type closing bracket, or word but got colon"

Personally I'm guessing it's TB's parser, not your .fgd 

Looking at the row/col. It's the first line of added code in the file, so I'm guessing that the version of fgd the file is written in is incompatible with TB.

This fgd was written for Jackhammer / Valve Hammer and probably uses some things that are not compatible with Trenchbroom (the colour picker comes instantly to mind).

It's worth noting that you can still use all these new features that are exposed in this fgd, you just have to add the key/value pairs manually. 

TB doesn't like the comments after the second colon. This is an oversight by me, I didn't read the FGD spec carefully enough, and the FGD files I had used for TB didn't contain such comments. File a bug report and attach the file so that it gets fixed, please. 

So I guess a temp fix would be to just delete the comments. In case that wasn't obvious. :) 

the comments are useful as they show up in jackhammer/hammer help screen. That's why I added them in the first place :D

But yes, you could remove all the comments and it should work. 

Right, I get that. But it's either wait for someone to fix Trenchbroom OR start using the FGD now. So ... choose your path, fair user. :) 

The fgd won't be useful in tb1 anyway, since tb1 doesn't display the key/values part of the fgd. Will be nice in tb2 though :-)
