I'm mapping with a quark65 a Quake1 map.
It has 194 ent, 151 lights, 1128 polyhedrons.
Use the latest compilers Txbsp1.12 Vis2.30 Light1.42
No warnings. Plays fine in Fitzquake.

I add some polyhedrons and it compiles fine again, but as soon as it starts Fitzquake I receive a Alloc_hunc failure.

I thought this only happened when one uses more than 620 ent?
What happened? 

Alloc Block : full 

This is caused by lightmaps. Ways to solve this:

1. Reduce total surface area of your level. Each square meter of wall/floor/ceiling/etc. needs lightmap space, so reducing surface area will reduce lightmap needs. (For example, if your map leaks and you have it inside a giant box, closing the leak with make a huge difference becuase the giant box can be deleted.)

2. Scale up textures on large surfaces. Lightmap usage is based on texture scale, so if the texture is scaled up on a surface, the polygons will use a smaller amount of lightmap. For example, if you have large rock walls, scaling up can help.

3. Usemore of the textures that don't need lightmaps. For example, sky doesn't need lightmaps, so if you have a room with a ceiling, changing the ceiling to be open sky will reduce the amount of lightmaps needed. 

i think, because of the relatively small size of the map, it could be you have an infinite brush... 

I tried selveral things, adding less brushes,
scaled textures.
I read Aguires tooltips for the thing, and it says it are too many lightmaps.
There is no leak, or warnings so I can't change a thing.
I had this thing earlier, and then it helped with the new Tyrlight.

Now it seems a thing of # many vertexes?
fil02078 goes well, fil02080 don't.

Scaling up textures indeed made it go again.
Thanks, thought I had to stop mapping. 

:) i got many pronlems becouse of textures rotacion... give me leaks :\ then i have to make then other way!!! 

The problem isn't the tex scale; you have huge textured planes outside the map that eat lightmaps to no end. Change your geometry so they can be filled (removed) by qbsp. 

Texture, and particularly brush rotation have to be handled carefully in QuArk. Each time you make a brush rotation, you have to check the coordinates of each corners and verify they are still on-grid: it can be done right clicking, and use the 'force to grid' command. 

Woah, I didn't know that command. Maybe I can do some serious mapping with QuArK now! :) 

thks JPL ;) 

Spirit_ go make a base map :p 

That it is also possible to fix coordinates values manually by right-clicking on a brush corner, then uses 'coordinates'.. A window will open showing the current coordinates, and it can be modified manually...

It is also possibe to apply both methods (i.e post#5306 and above method) on the brush itself: it will apply to the "center" of the brush, but I cannot garanty it will help on the corners coordiantes as the geometry is preserved there..

According to my "small experience" as QuArK user, it is safer to apply this to each corner.. ;)

Oh, and don't forget to adjust texture position after that :P 

I have scaled all poly textures outside the map 4 4.

Now there isn't any problem to play it in Fitzquake. 

seriously, do you have the map in a box? Do the walls right and you don't need that box. 

but I box wrong. 

Quake3bits has about three hours of video material linked from youtube to Quake3bits. Lessons concentrate on creating terrain in the Blender 3d modeling ap for use in Id based games.

It's late, I'm tired; someone explain the 'mangle' key for me one more time.

0 -90 0 points straight down I know.

If I am looking at the XY view i.e. Top Down, what is the mangle for a light to shine towards 6 o'clock dead-level?

I seem to remember a 'right-hand' rule to explain it? 

or yaw pitch roll... i think. 

It's yaw pitch zero. The third number is just a place holder in TyrLite. 

The third number is still really roll as metl said, but obviously rolling a light has no effect whatsoever on it. 

I have no if you're technically right and if Tyrann included computations for rolling the light, but let me copy and paste from the TyrLite readme because I want to wave my dick and show everyone that I'm always right.

"mangle" "# # 0". The first # is the yaw angle, 0 to 360 degrees around the Z-axis. The second # is the pitch angle, 90 to -90 degrees up to down. The 0 is just a required placeholder.

BTW I wonder if it's possible to roll a light if you're on an acid trip? 

Thanks, that's what I was after.

And I now know that zero degrees yaw is at 3 o'clock, and zero degrees pitch is level. 

I have this barrel in .blend from a friend, i want someone to convert this to .mdl, thanks. 

take the blend file, save it to either a 3ds, lwo or dxf format, from there import that file into Qme.

Both blender and Qme can be found linked here:
