No, can't say I've experienced that, and thankfully, nor have I experienced your eloquent description of what moving around in the 3D veiwport is like :)

Your Fired !! 

Oh i see, I haven't had that clipping prob. Don't beleive I have ever done that with the surface inspector, so I would't come across that.
Thanks 

You are of course right clicking your mouse in the 3D view, so as you can use 'mouse look' type thingy? (you will get a crosshair in view)It can give a 'sluggish' type effect if you just use your arrow keys to move around there without first right clicking. 

I'm right clicking, yeah. 

also, I'm the head of human resources here, I say who's fired and who's not. Comprende? 

 

you got a problem son? take it up with mr. pink slip.

two words for you, government cheese! 

before I spent my last cash to upgrade from a tnt to a geforce!

maybe it's just allergic to people pressing the wrong keys that have been inprinted in their brain from playing around with an ogier too much. 

could be. or to people fucking tail pipes. 

To make a good map ed, just let it export 3d max scenes. All in-house tool should have is convinient entity editor and visual scripting 

I vaguely remember Radiant having a little OpenGL info in the about box. Check it's not using MS or SGI (i.e. software) OpenGL.

Aside: Since when did Radiant need a 34-fucking-meg installer! 

nope, that's not it.

re: Aside.
maybe its got spyware? 

Can't even get it running here. Bombs out with various gl errors. SPoG hates me :[ 

For some bizarre reason my desktop was set to 16bpp. 32bpp fixes it.

It turns out that if you take the error message - radiant.x86:28928): GtkGLExt-CRITICAL **: file gtkglwidget.c: line 225 (gtk_widget_set_gl_capability): assertion `GDK_IS_GL_CONFIG (glconfig)' failed - and translate it into greek, then latvian, then spanish, it becomes GtkGLExt el molto bello you're in 16bpp you spack GDK_EL_LA_GL_CONFIG 

Just curious if anyone has released newer versions of the standard argh serise of compilers for q1+2 or something completely different?

Also I am trying to convert a modified texture for q1 (its a .bmp) into the .mip format. Any help here would be appreciated. (I have mipdip, but it doesnt seem to support the conversion) 

Try TexMex; http://www.planetquake.com/texmex/ 

...or Wally.

I didnt think wally worked for q1 textures. 

it does a pretty good job, but i'd recommend TexMex over it for what you want to do 

I am downlaoding it now thanks for the advice! 

good compilers are here:

I was reading some stuff on this board and came across a post you had made about replacing a single texture without recompiling the map. Did texmex work for this? If not there is a utility you can get off "the forge" called updbsp. Its DOS based but does the job.

Ohh one more thing, those utils look like they were made for QuArK will they work with WC also?

I wish to restock players as they fight by dropping in supplies as needed. Do I have to build special hidden structures with gates to drop stuff in (using appropriate triggers) or is there a more elegant way? 

In normal Q1, no. With QuakeC, there's Ritual's func_spawn entity.
