Yes, but it looks overly bright considering there are just a few candles.

FFS, where are the admins? There's new mass spam every day but no solution in sight and no real countermeasures against the clutter. What about temporarily disabling user registration until the captcha issue has been sorted out?

Liquids don't emit light, but they are always fullbright ingame. The only way I could think of to make a normally lit water surface is to use a non-asteriks water texture on a func_illusionary above the surface of the water volume or on a custom progs func_water entity. Of course it won't be ...

Yes, more of a missing editor feature, indeed. I can't think of any editor that has properly-working & stress-free texture lock. In Quest, I would never use it, because it screwed up the originally clean offset (not noticable after compiling but awkward for further in-editor use), and it wouldn't ...

Wait, what exactly is your problem? That properly aligned textures got misaligned again at some point? The thing with Quake textures in a .map is that, unlike in Doom, they are fixed with the grid, not the surface. This means if you move a brush (or face), the texture will not move with it and has ...

I don't use Quark and I don't use any non-standard map format. Qbsp only translates the brush information into bsp/quake-compatible data.
So, of course does the classic map format support texture rotation. Only id didn't seem to have used it in the stock maps.

You wrote it yourself: (x1 y1 z1) (x2 ...

I do not know if the "classic" .map format actually can support texture rotation correctly in any form.

I remember reading somewhere that the original .map format doesn't support texture rotation

Have you ever played a custom Quake map???

The lightmaps are stored in the .bsp. No engine can smoothen them or make them look better.

The light tool, at least a modern version like Bengt Jardrup's, has several additional options for better shadowcasting. Generally, for a final compile you should use -extra 4 , and there's also a -soft ...

Large bruise on my forehead, and I think I've dislocated my eyeballs...

Of course there's gameplay. It's just the introductory cutscene which is very long (the one with the guy on the bike). I think you can skip the cutscenes by pressing a certain key. If that doesn't work, try "cutscene 0" in the console and start again. But don't forget to re-enable it again ...

Simply place a bunch of path_corner entities along the route you want the monster to walk, then link them to form a loop. For example, add to the first one "targetname" "path1" and "target" "path2", to the next one "targetname" "path2" and "target" "path3" etc, and let the last one in the sequence ...

Still there at http://www.celephais.com/ - looks as always.

Sadly, there's no proper wiki or complete set of tutorials anymore, afaik. Most of them were lost over the course of time, as websites died or shifted focus etc.

You might find gb's basic Radiant tutorials helpful, though.

Ok, good. I was just too blind then. Problem is I have to run Quake on 1152*864 because my monitor is old and faulty and will often stretch the display horizontally on 1024* or 800 ...

Thank you, Chip!

What does each line in gtop.png show exactly?
My booth was the most visited?! Maybe because I was among the first people to release something (though feedback at func remained low). Or maybe I just clicled the preview link once too often when creating the booth...
