evidently all the csg files and such just disappeared. i have a batch compiler that has been set up for quake i just dont have the batch fiels.
from Bengt Jardrup? ligh compiler and engine too
since more and more maps and mappers are using it, and Bengt`s light tool is probably the best and his engines are good at handling big crowded maps and preferd by many I asked aguirRe the same question a while ago (i.e: when his engine will support colored lights), but he answered it is not part of his plan yet... Maybe he will changed of mind if enough people are pushing for...
aguirRe, any comments ? Look at AguirRe's profile under "people" at the top of this page, and go to his homepage! It's excellent! You can also read his Quake One Tooltips document, it contains a lot of info, and it's a brilliant resource to look up error messages, find out what they mean and how to overcome them...
you use "TxQbsp", it's the best bsp tool ever dude! Its extremely stable. Also his modified GlQuake is an excellent tool just to run maps which wont run in other engines. Often you find that it will run your map and tell you what is wrong with it! It is generally considered good paractise that you create maps to run in other engines, although there are some maps and mods out there which will only run in AGlQuake because they are over the engine limits.....
so, whats up now? i got a new repot on my log.

Just run the tools individually in the command prompt -at least to see if it works. Qbsp, vis, light - it's as simple as that. The log above looks like there's something wrong with your batch, as if two QBSPs are run. Delete the second one (by Ken Alversion). Then it should work. you only need to run TxQbsp, it contains all of the features of WQbsp (Ken Alverson's) but it's more modern and has plently other newer features (it's stable as hell)
First run TxQbsp (with no commands) Then run Vis (type "vis -fast testmap1", or "vis -level 4 testmap1") Then run light (type "light -extra4 testmap1", or "light -gate testmap1") then you can run the map in Quake! :-) If you read the documentation on AguirRe's hompepage it will tell you all of the commands for his tools... if you read that log you will see that TxQbsp sucessfully comiles your map with no warnings! But then WQbsp tries to do the same thing and crashes. If you had run the tools one at a time you would have been able to view the map at that point, just with no vis (visual optimisation) and no lighting. The light and vis would have worked if WQbsp hadn't scrambled the perfectly good
(dont worry dude, I found it all very confusing to begin with) so far got it workin hehe thanx guys, u know of a website with a forum like this that i can ask modeling questions ?
OK, I have never really tried this! If you plan to mod for Quake1 I would look at:
http://www.inside3d.com Err, there are some tools at http://www.planetquake.com There's much much more but I.. I just (Im no coder...) Open the bat files with a text editor. And look at the paths and modify them. Where is the Problem?!?
Put it in quotation marks. That's how you specify to DOS that it's a long filename with spaces in it. So "c:\program files\windows sucks\qbsp".
However, if you're going to store your maps and things in 'program files' you'll probably find that the Quake tools aren't fans of paths containing spaces. My fast.bat :
..\bats\Txqbsp %1 copy %1.bsp \Progra~1\games\quake\ID1\maps cd \Progra~1\games\quake glquake.exe -width 1280 -height 1024 -bpp 32 -heapsize 30000 +map %1 works qbsp -oldaxis %1
vis %1 light -gate 1 %1 copy %1.pts c:\quake\id1\maps copy %1.bsp c:\quake\id1\maps in ctrl-alt-w (fitz)
and ctrl-alt-a (fuhquake) You can set up keyboard shortcuts on desktop shortcuts. Very useful. on here - http://www.denken.com/dzone/q1mappersguide02.htm
there are a bunch of entities i dont have models info:
