Just run the game with -condebug (add it to your shortcut) and it should automatically log all console output to a file. Can't remember the file name or the location but I'm sure you'll find it! 

A save game spot is nothing more than a report of the game state at a particular time, and fortunately it is done in ascii and not binary. Just quick save a spot, change that .sav file into a .txt one, and you are golden. 

thanks. That worked a treat.

The file is called qconsole.log and appears in the directory the current progs is located in (e.g. ID1 or Quoth) 

my bad, you are looking for the back text for the
console, then what I mentioned wont be very useful. 

If than is doing what I think he's doing (long output of an edicts command), then the savegame method would also work just as well : - ) 

Pretty useful. 

the log file write was really damn slow in fitz when I called the edicts command. Took 5-10 seconds for quake to become responsive again. I guess the savegame method is faster :) 

I was wondering how far the restrictions of licences are. Nowadays quake1 is far concerned free to play with, as with all the monsters in it.

But when I create a monster, which has properties that look close to the Quake3 world and is not suported licence free, can I still publish them?

This for the monster bones I created. And although there are lot of parts I had to recompile, it still asambles a monster of the Q3 world. Therefore I am not licenced to publish it.

Not that I want to light up this licence war again, I just want to be sure before I publish a map with it, and get backed off again because I had to know this fact. 

Aren't going to sue you for making retro-Bones.

Alot of their tactics are set up so that a community like this could exist.

Looking forward to the map. 

the bones won't be licenced...

before I realy get crazy from its carving cry! 

I am following this tutorial here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IpxwsD8X64&feature=related precisely, to the letter, but somehow the thing refuses to work. The jumppad does appear in the game and does emit an ambient hum sound, but it doesn't actually launch me in the air even tho it's linked to a PathNode.

What could I be doing wrong? 

It could be you are trying to launch yourself too high and the engine can't create a good path. In the editor, turn on paths (hit 'P') and select the jump pad. That will draw the jump arc in the editor. If nothing appears, try lowering the strength of the jump pad and see if it works better.

I had a bitch of a time getting the pads in DM-BioHazard to work because of this. 

What has changed in modern qbsp utilities that keeps the polys on the backside(facing the void) of sky brushes from being removed and merging with the surrounding geometry? For example, all id, hip, rogue and even some levels made in '96 - '97 sky brushes behave like normal brushes. Have they become an entity now?
I'm assuming here that it's something with the bsp process.

Here are screenshots to compare:

Sidenote: Regarding the wad(s) I asked about earlier, the window frame is from chicosruin set. For anyone who was losing sleep over it... 

I think I remember reading that id's QBSP had a bug that make projectiles explode on sky brushes or something. They fixed it before releasing the tools to the community. 

That's it. Much appreciated. 

knows the parameter for qcc.exe to recompile a progs.dat back to its origin? 

-dec

Looks just as I want it to, except for the fact the brush on the left is missing the ceiling as you may be able to see...

A complete mess.

What am I doing wrong? 

I guess this forum uses hyperlinks differently. Here are the urls again...

Not too clear from the editor shot, but I'd suspect that there's some sort of brush interference there.

Those two six-sided shapes, try cutting them into wedges in the top view.

It also looks like you've got concave brushes at the top of the top view, if so then change those to wedges as well.

I mean keep the same shape, but made out of more (but simpler) brushes. 

So instead of clipping a single brush multiple times, If I split the brush into different brushes where each new vert starts, it will render properly?

I always answer my own questions 5 minutes after posting. 

My last reply was before I saw yours ijed, I'll give it a shot. 

Hm.. I don't want to start spamming this board, but I have a leak right now, and I just can't figure out where it is.

I loaded the pointfile and it does not lead you to a hole and does not enter the playing area.

I've spent the last half hour examining the area it seems to vaguely point to, but I really can't see anything either in the editor or the game.

Any ideas?

If you wish to do so, feel free to have a look at the .map file:

http://www.esnips.com/doc/4b150975-4ec2-4f72-965d-3afed1d71e83/map1 

crashed my editor. :P 

Odd.

Absolutely nothing shows up in Radiant when I open your map. I opened it in Q3 mode too, just in case you were editing it in q3 .map format. Still nothing there.

Then I tried compiling it. Compiled fine, apart from the missing texture wads on my machine ( so I modified the worldspawn info so some of the textures would show up ).

There was no leak.

It's such a small and orthogonally constructed volume that I can't see why there'd be a leak or similar error. At least, not one that you'd have any trouble finding.

I suspect something else may be causing problems. But the only thing I can see that looks at all odd is that you specify the wads to be .hlwad format. Is this a worldcraft thing? Are you using half-life compilers or what?

Looks nice btw.
