Q3Map 2.3.36

Win32 (x86) - Linux (x86) - Darwin/Mac OS X (PPC) - Readme


2.3.36 (2003-01-15)

- Plane hashing re-enabled (I suck)
- Plane hashing optimized (faster parsing of larger maps)
- Plane finding accuracy code enabled
- New ASE clipping code
  + With above should be 10-50% faster
  + Should generate 33% fewer planes
  + Generates mostly-axial 5-sided polyhedra instead of pyramids,
    for tighter 2-sided clipping
- New -light args:
  + -scale N -- scales all lightsources (area, radiosity, point, sky)
  + -sky[scale] N -- scales sky lights (q3map_skylight, q3map_sunlight)
- Changed fur code to scale fur offset based on original vertex alpha

Sorry about the quick release–2.3.35 had a huge bug in it (the plane stuff) and it needed to be addressed ASAP. Got in some other nifty things as well, if ASE models are your bag. :slight_smile:

Can the new release just be slotted into Radiant? Frankly, I can’t be bothered messing about with the compile settings; would be easier if I can just drop the exe in the right place.

Yes, just replace the q3map2.exe in your GtkRadiant directory with the exe in the q3map2 zip file.

Make a backup of your existing q3map2.exe just in case the most recent version starts doing stuff you don’t like. :slight_smile:

.36: 2 questions.

-sky [scale] N

what’s the [scale] part, and what’s q3map_skylight and q3map_sunlight?
use them in place of q3map_surfacelight and q3map_sun for utilization of the -sky variable switch, to segregate them from -areascale?

(ydnar) #5

-sky N
-skyscale N

Scales sky lights (suns and q3map_skylight lights) by N. Does not affect area lights on sky shaders. For that use -area[scale].

gotchya. Got confused at the q3map_sunlight part in the readme :confused:

looks like q3map_skylight is nothing more then a shorthand sun group?
