Mapping Help
This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

Spaces? 
What, you mean with "Program Files", and whatnot? I didn't have a problem with that before. 
@ericw 
Oops, sorry for later answer. Thanks for help 
Were You Also Using Jackhammer Before? 
 
When Portal Prt Files Go Wrong 
Any idea why, on a ridiculously large map using bsp2, the map won't do vis properly saying there is a leak and drawing a portal line right through a solid face?

I tried the ol trick of a box around the whole level but it says there's too many verts.

Jackhammer
Txqbsp
Tyrvis
Tyrlight
Darkplaces 
Hrm 
Sorry, using Tyrbsp for bsp2. 
Sleepy 
Yeah, I was using Jackhammer. Guess I could try compiling directly from the C: drive to see if that's the culprit in this case. 
Qmaster 
Which hull is the leak in? If in hull 2, there is a good chance a clip brush over that brush (where the pointfile goes right through) will do the trick.

Else, rebuild that brush or change brushorder in the .map file(put it first), or or or.. 
My Qbsp 
In terminal I put mycd~/desktop/quake%folder/qspasm/Quake/MapID/maps/qbsp qf1m1.map and then not works :(

what I skipped?

Looks like you put the two commands ericw gave you together by accident, maybe?

First, you need to type
cd ~/wherever/you/put/your/mapfiles

(this just means that you go to the directory where your maps are; "cd" stands for change directory. Don't forget the space after "cd")

and then

./qbsp thenameofyourmap

(This is to run the qbsp executable.)

All of the above is assuming you have the qbsp executable and .map file in the same directory. 
 
If there's a space in the directory name you need to escape it with a backslash like:
cd ~/Desktop/quake\ maps/
or surround the path with quotes. Tab completion should do that automatically. 
Woot. 
Apparently relocating Quake to the base C drive took care of things. Odd that I had to do that, but as long as it works... 
I've Always 
Have QUAKE directory directly under C to avoid "Windows cannot find directory C:\Program" during compile since because Windoze. 
 
I've had issues with maps not compiling using Ericw's tools as well, and I've found that putting the .map itself in the C drive fixes the issue right away.

Anyway, I'm having an issue with the vorelings in Quoth. They're tiny little critters, so I figured they'd be fine getting stuffed into a small hole and jumping out at the player as they walk by. No such luck, as they get stuck. The only workaround I've been able to figure out myself is to make a bunch of func_illusionaries around them so they can actually get out of the hole.

In that pic you can see the two small holes. The brush between them, as well as brushes sixteen units to either side of them and about 32 units above them are all func_illusionaries. This "works," as far as the vorelings' intended behavior goes, but it's far, far from ideal because shots and grenades go right through the illusionaries as well, and I could fit Quakeguy's entire body up there with a rocket jump. Is there a better way to pull this off.

Sizes 
The quake engine only supports three sizes of objects when it comes to things fitting through gaps:

� Point sized
� Human sized
* Shambler sized

Vorelings are "human sized" for this reason. If you want them to come from a surprising angle, the option of making them hang from a ceiling is worth considering. 
Also 
you could use func_illusionary to make the holes appear smaller than they actually are, and allow the vorelings through. 
Lol 
nevermind I totally didn't read your post properly 
 
@onetruepuple - Very useful, thanks!

@Preach - That is very good to know. 
Why 
I tryed enter:

/Users/usuario/Desktop/QuakeFolder/MapID/maps./"qbsp" Qf1m1.map

/Users/usuario/Desktop/Quakefolder/Quake/MapID/maps./"qbsp" Qf1m1.map

cd ~/Users/usuario/Desktop/Quakefolder/Quake/MapID/maps./qbsp Qf1m1.map

cd ~/Users/usuario/Desktop/Quakefolder/Quake/MapID/maps/qbsp Qf1m1.map

and more.

I can`t qbsp, vis, light with tyran utils in mac, the binnaries are recognized as unix file... 
 
Where is the file "Qf1m1.map", and where is the qbsp executable? Are they both in
/Users/usuario/Desktop/Quakefolder/Quake/MapID/maps? Are you sure this is the correct path? If so, what you need to do is open a Terminal and type:

cd ~/Desktop/Quakefolder/Quake/MapID/maps

Press the "enter" key, and then type

./qbsp Qf1m1.map

and press the "enter" key again.

I have qbsp in maps folder, but this action too I was done 
 
Do doors not block light? 
No 
all func_* (b_models) do not block lights.
you can set a key on them, shadow 1. with this they will cast shadows, but no dynamic shadows.
So a door that is closed will have a shadow, but opening it wont remove the shadow drawn.
Can look strange and all. 
Dont`t Care More My Qbsp :) 
I downloaded ericw/tyrutils and now it works perfectly ;D 
 
@mfx That's also good to no. Fortunately I didn't need to implement shadow 1 after messing with the troublesome lighting. Lighting is hard!
