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 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. 

That would be the retort of your average four year old...

Almost but not quite, actually, it is the retort of your average fourty year old. But I will take that as a compliment. I am young at heart.

As much fun as this has been, this is the Mapping Help thread. So I bid you good day 

That was supposed to be
As much fun as this has been, this is the Mapping Help thread, not the Mental Help thread. So I bid you good day 

...to let you both know I love you with all my heart and I will go to bed a happy man tonight and masturbate furiously in the morning because of you.

Thanks! 

I second the motion. Both. Love. Happy. Furiously.
Good night :)

( look, a smiley ^^^ ) 

hardcore gay bondage sex?! this remindsme, jesus and satan pratice kamasutra together. 

What I meant about q2 lighting style was the texture based lighting. The fact you could "turn on" a texture and have it emit an averaged colored light. (based on the textures base color) I know some of the newer maps I have looked at have exibited similar lighting qualities around textures as q2 had on some of it textures. 

There are two kinds of opinions in this world: those with guns and those who dig. 

Opinions are like assholes, everyones got one 

You had to answer, didn't you? 

I would love to refer you all to the classic internet picture which carries a small messege, unfortunately I suck and dont have it or know the link, so this quote will have to do instead :

"Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics. Even if you win, your still retarded"

:) :) :) :) :) :) :D :D :D :D :D :D !!!!! 

At the very least, I strive to be the best retard of them all.

A dubious honor to be sure. Still, it's good to have goals. 

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but I've no current plans to include coloured lighting or antilights in my Light tool.

They're both features that I don't use myself or have any major interest in. It's also not that easy to incorporate them, they both require substantial changes and add quite a bit complexity.

I hope you'll understand my current stance. It may change of course ... 

I didn't hold much hope, as I asked you before if you were planning it, but you got to be in it to win it, so I thought I would through my hat in the ring again. 

AFAIK, what you call texture based lighting is what is known as surface lighting and my tool doesn't do that.

There is however a tool called q1rad that can do that, go to http://www.orbiter-productions.com/alchemy/radiosity for more details and download.

If you've seen a recent map that has been lit by my light tool and that appears to have surface lighting, maybe it's because I've added some softening features that can reduce the sometimes harsh shadowing of Q1.

I think a good mapper can make use of this and create an atmosphere that feels a bit different than regular Q1 but still with the same relentless combat. Or something ... 

I have no idea what utility the guy used on the map, it just appeared to be using surface lighting. I will probly try both of them out to see which I like more. 

Wazat's thought process:

>As much fun as this has been, this is the Mapping Help thread, not the Mental Help thread. So I bid you good day

1st reaction: Aw mannnn... I'm in the wrong place.

2nd reaction: Wait, there really is a Mental Help thread? Then the stories are true! Link!

3rd reaction: Where am I, and why are the people arguing?

I just think it's funny that such a large percentage of the recent posts was just a flame war. Here I was thinking there was an in-depth discussion on the higher principles of mapping, spanning over 50 or so posts. :) 

that was NOT a flame war.
