shrinking the map down to smaller and smaller bits to isolate the cause of the error didn't help. tyrlite -lit crashes within the first few dozen faces no matter what map I compile with it, even maps with no lights.

trying other BSPers in advance doesn't help, so it's probably not a compatibility issue there. tyrlite 0.99c has in fact been confirmed to work when compiling a map with a .lit, right? 

bamb is getting the same crash in a different map on a different computer. apparently it's tyrann's fault! 

...as am I. Thank goodness I'm not as stupid as I thought. It crashes out at 12-20 faces for me. 

look up the Quake cheat codes(noclip/notarget), and set sv_altnoclip 1 (works in Fitz and aguirRe�s engine), then you can fly around using the mouse like in Q2. 

Well, the map is finally done and I no longer have to bug you with stupid questions! See the news section for details (well, in a moment at least).

Thank you all for help. 

Hey guys, I might not hang out here much anymore, but I still take bug reports. Someone email me a map which is killing my light util and I'll fix it. 

are we using it wrong? 

Send an email 

he can place a single brush and press 'hollow' and it'll crash his compiler. that's all we've had to do. 

How do I change the gravity for a map in WorldCraft 3.33? 

Map, Map properties and then Gravity.

Default is 800, and I think Ziggurat of Vertigo is at 300. 

and don't forget to use a towel. 

custom gravity won't work without custom code...

unless preach knows one of his many secret map hacks :) 

I need a texture that looks similar to the clock texture in the rogue missionpack. Does anybody know ewere to find or if such a texture exists?

thanks 

the Rouge pack havung a clock texture, but there is one in the Scourge of Armagon pack. It may be worth checking out. 

I compiled with light options -soft -extra4

If there is an easy way to get rid of those using compiler options I would love to do it. I won't change anything on the map because it is supposed to be finished. ;) 

 

Sorry I meant hipnotic not rogue 

Just open the .bsp with Texmex and it'll extract all the textures. 

If you're using some sort of ETP map format (e.g. QuArK etp or Valve 220), try the -etp option and see if that helps. 

Thanks, but I already have the clock texture, but I need a second one that looks similar.
QuArK can also extract textures 

Need it for this map

There are two clock textures in the kingpin wad, although they might not be exactly what you are looking for. 

New version of my utils with a fix for the (again, silly and obvious) bug when running light with "-lit" is now up.

That looks nice indeed. I bet there are some wicked clock textures in American McGee'S Alice. There is a wad somewhere if I recall right.
