I'm in the process of porting it to C++. Once that's done I can get going with the Windows and Linux versions. 

 

Same here, I can't upgrade from 1.4 and I know it's the same for some of the other ladies here.

1.5 onwards was such a huge step backwards in terms of speed and productivity that I couldn't possibly accept it despite the other enhancements it brought to the table.

I've no idea what it's like these days, for all I know it has been completely revamped once again. Is it even still in development? 

netradiant is what i currently use, they still support it and upgrade it.

Hey V, are the basic brush manipulation controls like 1.4 or 1.5 (or something else?)

Of course, I can and should try it myself, just wondering what your take is on it. 

it's pretty much like original radiant. works fast and smooth. no probs with it at all. 

Sweet like a sweet thing. I'll have to give it a shot one of these days. Thanks! 

I don't want to upset anyone, but shouldn't those discussion go to the "Mapping Help" thread? I'm happy when I enter here and I see everytime 5-6 new posts and I always hope to see at least one screenshot, but then I see only this discussions about map editors :( 

yes, and kinn's screenshot in othergames should be here too. :P 

god damn, keep forgetting to put a name in. :P 

there's all sorts of little wip-py stuff in that shot i need to finish before i'd present it as pimpable :} 

ok, here you shotscreen...

and here's the fool who�z watching the screen for three days now on testlevel +4 without getting shot while seeing no changes in ...

Full: 96.15%, Elapsed: 58h 20m, Left: 6h 37m, Total: 64h 58m, 89%

Is there life after vis? 

But not too long to return to the map and fix those very obvious misaligned textures in the screenshot and elsewhere. I take it you're not using multithreaded WVIS? This should or would have made it much easier, well faster.

Protip if you're enjoying watching progress updates: run vis with -verbose. Woot 

i'm pretty lazy, but it kind of bugs me that you've posted screenshots several times of those curving pipes yet have never aligned the textures. :\ 

@negke - The map was made playable and only had the textures unfixed. Last testlevel4 was 12 houres, so I thought it would be a short job. After three days today there's no change.

@necros - I almost pearced my eye out getting textures fixed, but I howl on a 3d fucking quark viewer.

I remake the pipes in QRadiant. It seems a pretty sharp carve editor. The more I use it the more I get frightened from Quark. 

except Trinca maybe. And Spirit?

ps - I'm a luddite too, stuck on WC. 

someone seriously needs to build a faster vising program. 65 hours of having that shit running on your computer is enough to put off any newbie mapper.

Or someone needs to get better at mapping. 65 hours, to me, means the map was built in an incredibly non-Quake friendly way. 

.. I am the most friendly-less mapper ever... (i.e ref to CDA) :P 

If your map takes days and days to VIS, using a modern VIS program and a decent machine ... then I'd say, yes, you're not building in a Quake friendly manner. :) Just seems logical... 

There's nothing WRONG with that, but it does seem to be evident... 

.. 1218 hours ? And what if the result is worth doing it ? Basically, the result is more important to me than the way to achieve it... though I admit it is better to ease our life sometimes ;) 

It almost says, to me, that you're mapping for the wrong game. You want something that Quake wasn't designed to do!
