Mirrors 
Am I the only one who thinks we should have a proper standard for mirrors before building infrastructure to support them? We all remember what happened with skyboxes and fog. 
Am_detail 
is support for am_detail dropped completely in favour of func_detail? 
Surface Lights Screenshot

just to clarify how this works, it's nothing more than automated copy & paste by the compiler. the "_surface" key is put on a light, this turns that light into a template 
 
Nice, and I like that implementation ... 
 
This is already being used in my retro jam map :) 
 
My god. This is amazing. Just had a play with it tonight ... it's like getting lighting for free. Fuck ... FUCK. Gotta map... 
Glad To Hear It 
 
Minor Qbsp Update 
win32 os x src

* qbsp: fix broken -onlyents flag
* qbsp: fix texture offset on rotate_object, so they match in the
editor. Added "-oldrottex" flag to revert to old behaviour. From txqbsp-xt.

No changes to light though. 
Lighting... 
Tinkering with this, it's great. I used it for the lava in my RJ3 map but I'm toying with it for all light textures atm, it might turn out to be a really good time saver :) 
Hm 
lighting...

will be handy for speedmapping 
 
surface light = very good stuff! 
 
Love these lights. Simple shot below ... the only difference is the addition of a lava brush.

Crash 
Light crashes when I tried this with surface lights =

_deviance 1
_samples 4 
Update 
I dont think it's surface light thats the problem.

I just made a standard light with the same keys and it crashes.

getting lazy about making all of those direct links.. This has _deviance fixed. 
 
* light: fence texture tracing, for bmodels with "_shadow" "1"

Wait.. does this mean that a fence texture would cast a shadow of the fence? Isn't this a huge deal?? 
 
Sadly not... it only casts the bounding box I believe. 
 
There's also a bunch of dev spam from the current light tool ... no big deal, just messy.

jitterning blah blah, or something over and over... 
 
Yeah, the fences cast proper shadows if you use func_wall with "_shadow" "1" for the fence. This is with fence textures with the { prefix. It can be hard to see with the low light map res in quake, but could be useful in the right place. (Tree branches? A grate over lava?)

@warren, thanks for pointing that dev spam 
 
Are you sure? That's pretty crazy if that's true. 
Yeah 
I was trying to avoid posting a hideous dev screenshot ;)

Nice... 
I had no idea it had this feature. 
 
I guess I made this thing just in time, then. 
Nice! 
 
 
Now you just need lightmap resolutions that are high enough to do it justice... :s
