It is a bad tradesman who blames his tools is a terrible expression. By that logic I would be wrong to blame a warm squash for not helping me cut down a redwood. 

Tools, to any rational, person would refer to something within the realm of sanity, to do with the job at hand, ie, not a warm squash for not helping me cut down a redwood. 

After perusing peekaboom's site and reading some of the reveiws on PQ, I figured I had better get newer compilers than whats on the forge. I remember one of the reveiws saying the author had implemented tex lighting ala q2 style. Is that possible in Bengt's tool? I read over the readme but found nothing obvious stating such support. Id really like to be able to use that. 

AguirRe is Bengt, so you are asking the right person. 

Least I know he knows what hes saying.

One other thing before bedtime...there was a mapper that did a bunch of "space" themed maps for q1. You know the ones with all the platforms in the void. What was his name? I tried to find the guy on PQ but Ill be damned if I can now. Want to do a goole for his homepage/any maps...I really like that style.

Thanks and peace! 

Well what about a dull chisel? What qualifier can go in front of tools which doesn't make the sentence self-contradictory?

The point I'm trying to make here is that you would obviously be right to blame crappy tools. You would only blame the tools for being crappy in one way or another to being with. You could modify the saying into: it is a bad tradesman who blames his tools which I deem to be good tools. But it's very self-centric to say the tools best for me are best for everyone else. 

Theres another old saying you can pick away at if you like, lol

Incase you couldn't tell, it was a joke


it is a bad tradesman who blames his tools which I deem to be good tools. But it's very self-centric to say the tools best for me are best for everyone else.

WhereTF did that come from, I never said it, nor meant it. Get over yourself

pfft........................ 

I presume you mean the coagula maps by ELEK;

(Although all the links on that site are buggered I'm afraid) 

"it's a bad craftsman blahblahgualgh"
there's another saying; radiant is a useless piece of overbloated shit.
look, no smiley.

pushplay;
if I could but write the code that makes these deviled computers go bing. oh, how I would.

In all seriousness, I'm gonna go over my old notes from work and try and put together some kind of feature-list/mission description. something that would be practically possible from first build to first public release.
just for the fuck of it. 

bad grammar. 

These were DM only maps similar to the ones we see in q3a so much.I think I have one from the author on my HD. I just havent had time to go through all 178 of them to figure out which one it is! 

bah spend more time with it and stop whining or I'll destroy all exhaust pipes in the world! 

I know there was a guy who made a few Q3A-> Q1 maps, including one of q3dm17. It's framerate sucked mightily though.
I made a Q1 space map called Void Runner, with slightly lower ( though still extortionate ) r_speeds. 

that's it. you're on the list. 

Wrath: I look forward to reading it.

Abyss: I just hate it when sayings are taken as true just because they're sayings. I also hate it when mysticism is taken as true by virtue of being old. 

I'm not sure what you mean by Q2 style lighting, but there is no surface lighting in my Light tool. Only some options that hopefully make it easier, faster and more fun to light a map.

And in the end maybe also make a better-looking, more realistic map. Try it and see if you like it ... 

Haven't you been reading ?

Shouldn't that be

In my opinion radiant is a useless piece of overbloated shit ;) Look, smiley































































THE END 

Could you plz plz plz *I love you plz* add colored light (.lit) support to your awesome light tool? I know I can generate a .lit and then recompile with your tool but that sucks hard, and the colored lights wont be 4x4 oversampled (??).

Remember what matters most : I LOVE U!!! 

And double the amount of plz's, hmm, I can't say I love you though, how about 'strongly like' 

I always have hated that expression. In my opinion. Well of course it's in my opinion, you twat, if it was in someone else's I'd have to provide a reference. What kind of soft hippie-fuck society is this that we always have to soften up our mental carpet-bombings with a IMO and end it with a got vordamnte smiley?!

This continued pussy-fication (thank you carlin) is a pet peeve of mine. No, worse, it's a fucking atrocity - on which mankind should collectively unleash their bile.

Radiant is a piece of steaming cattle dung.

You think otherwise? Fine, doesn't matter to me. On an unrelated note, do you also enjoy gouging your eyes out? Self-mutilation via dull spoon? Giving birth to a duplex? Anal birth, even?

In other news, I'm drunk as a skunk.

Also, cranky. 

I demand that a 'n' be added to that 'a' in front of 'IMO'! Or else the terrorists will surely emerge victorious from whatever fight we're currently engaging in.

Also, more drink, and a pony. And the moon - while you're at it. 

I always have hated that expression. In my opinion. Well of course it's in my opinion, you twat, if it was in someone else's I'd have to provide a reference.
I am just refering you to pushplays earlier comments on the subject.

--------------------------------------------

What kind of soft hippie-fuck society is this
The kind of society that I beleive you would belong to. Because as we all know your projected self here on the net is just a cover. I doubt you would have the ability to stand in a face to face confrontation with your fellow man.

--------------------------------------------

Radiant is a piece of steaming cattle dung
That is an opinion, and (I say again) We all know what Mr Eastwood said about opinions.

--------------------------------------------

You think otherwise? Fine, doesn't matter to me
Oh, but obviously it does

--------------------------------------------

On an unrelated note, do you also enjoy gouging your eyes out
No, but I do enjoy inflicting physical pain on other members of my species, I must admit, but hey, we all like doing what we are good at.

--------------------------------------------

Self-mutilation via dull spoon
I would have inserted the dull spoon into the chuck of a high speed drill first, but, whatever takes your fancy

--------------------------------------------

Giving birth to a duplex? Anal birth, even
hmmm, perhaps you are flashing back to your own birth, where your mother gave birth to you anally, in a duplex?


---------------------------------------------

In other news, I'm drunk as a skunk
Umm, you forgot ignorant arrogant asshole ;)

(ended with vordamnte smiley)

---------------------------------------------

Of course, this is only, IMHO :)

(ended with vordamnte smiley, and an IMHO) 

No offense to your good self or your mother intended, of course. 

"I am just refering you to pushplays earlier comments on the subject."

Are you seriously expecting me to keep up with the inane ramblings of the servant staff? Uh?!

"The kind of society that I beleive you would belong to. Because as we all know your projected self here on the net is just a cover. I doubt you would have the ability to stand in a face to face confrontation with your fellow man."

Well, I'm a skinny guy. We fight till we're burger - in the immortal words of Tyler Durden.
In addition, I'm cheating by way of exo-skeleton.

"That is an opinion, and (I say again) We all know what Mr Eastwood said about opinions."

I give up. What DID Eastwood say about opinions? (Rhetorical question, do not answer.)

"Oh, but obviously it does"

I beg to differ. I also beg for mercy, salvation, from the idiots. So far, no luck.

"No, but I do enjoy inflicting physical pain on other members of my species, I must admit, but hey, we all like doing what we are good at."

You sir, lack ambition. Why stop at your kindred species?! Fuck the whales, fuck them right in their blow-holes, what have they ever done for us?
Ambition, ambition.

"I would have inserted the dull spoon into the chuck of a high speed drill first, but, whatever takes your fancy"

You sir, lack conviction. If you have to rush it, it's not really fun. Softie.

"hmmm, perhaps you are flashing back to your own birth, where your mother gave birth to you anally, in a duplex?"

You sir, lack finesse. That would be the retort of your average four year old...

...chimp.

"Umm, you forgot ignorant arrogant asshole ;)"
I object to ignorant, the other - I freely admit. 

None taken. If you knew my mother, you wouldn't care about offending her.

When (if ever. Oh, if ever) she dies, I will perform a small dance, followed by a toast. Then, checking the will.
