Onlyents question

[Emon]

When compiling with onlyents, how would it work for func_groups? Say I want to add a ladder to my level. I make it, texture it with system/ladder, and make it a func_group and compile with onlyents. Would that work properly?

probably not as it involves adding actual brushes to the map. -onlyents only works for non-brush based entities.

Even if I’m completely wrong, the resultant ladder would be fullbright as there were no lightmaps calculated for it.

Well, JO’s ladders are just brushes textured with system/ladder, they are never lit. If I added architecture for a ladder, I understand that that wouldn’t be lit, but it would be for testing functionality only.

Thanks for the reply.

-onlyents is really dodgy. There isn’t really quite support for it in GtkRadiant (it doesn’t preserve entity/brush order).

Compile your map without vis or light to test it, then only do light when you’re testing lighting and for final compiles.
