Q3Map 2.3.37

Win32 (x86) - Linux (x86) - Darwin/Mac OS X (PPC) (2.3.36) - Readme


2.3.37 (2003-01-24)

- Building from GtkRadiant CVS trunk
- Added new brush bevel code by MrElusive to fix lingering aas problems (sweet!)
- Added -snap N arg to BSP phase for axial bevel plane snapping to reduce
  clipped model plane count (note: will muck with above, use with care)
- Patches in terrain entities should now have proper vertex alpha set
- Fixed bug in fur code where fur was being limited to 2 layers (thanks pazur)
- Reduced vertexlight search area to a reasonable size to keep vertex lighting
  times down

This should fix a host of moronic bot problems if you’ve been having them. Give it a shot.

OS X users, a build is forthcoming.

-snap?

what’s it do actually? (updating q3map2build and manual stuff).

As what I read, seam to delete unseen part of model, or something to do with clipping them…

Excellent release Ydnar! Actually, I’m not sure if it started with 2.3.37 or with 2.3.33 or so, but I just did a patch for twinlakesv2 and compiled with 2.3.37 and a problem that I had with some funny color appearing in blotches on the snow is now gone…completely :). Thanks so much for your continued hard work!

BTW, I have been changing hints in various Urban Terror maps to skip, with only one face hint and it improves some of the compile times tremendously. On one map, ut_rommel, I knocked 10hrs off of the compile time. The vis data hardly changed at all though, so I am interested to hear what others are experiencing. Of course I checked, and r_speeds are the same or lower, so no damage has been done to the vis blocking. Interesting…

The -snap N argument snaps the brush bevel planes to the nearest N units, inward. If you have a complex map, or one that uses a lot of q3map_clipModel model shaders, then this can reduce BSP size considerably.

Values higher than 1 or 2 can cause clipping problems, so use with care.
