Tyrutils-ericw V0.15.1
Hey, I got around to setting up a website for my branch of tyrutils: (complete with lots of screenshots of different settings of AO, sunlight, etc!)
http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw
and making an "official" release of it.

Nothing major changed compared with the last snapshot (may 1st), but a couple new things:

* .lux file support from Spike, for deluxemapping
* gamma control with -gamma flag and "_gamma" key
* rename -dirty flag to -dirt for consistency
* fence texture tracing is now opt-in only with the "-fence" flag.
* light should run a bit faster


This doesn't have lit2. Not sure what to do with that, tbh.

If there's a demand for it, I was thinking I could make a tool that upscales all textures in a wad by 2x or 4x, and adds a "-2x"/"-4x" suffix to the names. You could then manually get the higher-res lightmap on certain faces by applying the upscaled texture, and lowering the texture scale to 0.5 or 0.25 in your editor.

The only real disadvantage of this hacky method over lit2 is more face subdivision by qbsp. This isn't great, but it shouldn't be an issue if the hack is used sparingly (and bsp2 can be used if needed for higher face/vert limits.)

Anyway, enjoy, I hope this is pretty bug-free.

Who Else Would Need To Move Textures By Fractions Of Pixeks 
 
After You Rotate A Texture Probably 
 
 
yeah, if you do the classic 1:4 2:4 3:3 4:2 4:1 cylinders, you will have some angles that you can't perfectly line up the textures on with whole degrees. Not noticeable until you have a long enough surface with the same angle 
Ahoy 
I'm getting this error with my map:

light: /home/benny/Downloads/tyrutils-ericw-ericw-v0.15.5/light/light.cc:656: void CalcualateVertexNormals(const bsp2_t*): Assertion `smoothedNormals.find(v) != smoothedNormals.end()' failed.

As well as a bunch of: WARNING: couldn't nudge light in solid at -1586.848267 174.062302 507.337677

Which I assume is because some of the surface light textures cover the entire brush and some are against other solids.

This same map didn't give me errors with an earlier version. Running ubuntu 16.04.

Also, isit possible to have phong shading on non func_details, I have a func_illusionary or two I'd like to use it on.

Thanks in advance!

Mind emailing me the .map+.bsp+.texinfo?

phong shading on any func_ should work. You have to run a full qbsp to update the .texinfo file though.

btw hoping to make a new release pretty soon 
Thanks 
the new version compiled and works a treat.

also the "-gamma" command is amazing, saved me having to decrease all my light values after adding -bounce 
Dirtmapping Lit Liquids Bug 
Liquid surfaces should be completely ignored when dirtmapping, but they aren't. Here's an E1M2 screenshot.

Ideally, lit liquids shouldn't receive or emit dirtmaps. 
Addendum 
I've taken that screenshot with the water fully transparent, and the map was compiled with these parameters:

$bsp_exe -nopercent -splitspecial $bspdir/$file

$light_exe -extra4 -dirt -dirtmode 1 -dirtgain 0.875 -dirtscale 1.5 $bspdir/$file 
What If The Liquid's Supposed To Be Opaque? 
 
 
"_dirt" "n"
For brush models, -1 prevents dirtmapping on the brush model. Useful it the bmodel touches or sticks into the world, and you want to those ares from turning black. Default 0.

Maybe it will work with water brush too? 
#487 
I've just tried it, and _dirt -1 doesn't work on func_detail. 
Addendum 
Well, actually _dirt -1 sort of works on func_detail. The water isn't dirtmapped now, but it still casts dirtmapping in the rest of the world model. 
 
Thanks for the report, I will fix it properly.
Probably I'm checking for TEX_SPECIAL and skipping casting/receiving dirt if that is set, need to also check if the texture starts with
"*" or "sky" in case splitspecial is used. 
 
Thanks.

A little feature request: Can you add individual options for -splitliquids and -splitsky? This would be more optimal than -splitspecial, since there's usually no reason to allow sky surfaces to be lit. 
 
It should be there already, just called -splitturb instead of -splitliquids 
:) Indeed 
It is; I've tried it out, and it worked.

Thanks, I've updated my compiler parameters. 
Actually 
Gosh I had no idea lit liquids were even supported in this tool. Any chance someone could give those quakespasm cheps a bit of a nudge? 
V0.15.7 Released 
Get it at: http://ericwa.github.io/tyrutils-ericw/

Not really any new features, but lots of performance improvements. It's something like 2-4x faster depending on the map.

Also fixed the regression with bmodels touching the world that Kinn reported.

full changelog: https://github.com/ericwa/tyrutils-ericw/releases 
 
minlight no longer bounces

I can't even begin to imagine how that worked or looked. 
 
V0.15.7 isn't compiling at all here.

** Executing...
** Command: C:\Dev\Tools\tyrutils\bin\qbsp.exe
** Parameters: -nopercent -splitturb C:\Projects\QuakeDev\Game\Quake\_QDebug_\maps\E1M2

* WARNING: File was not built!
"C:\Projects\QuakeDev\Game\Quake\_QDebug_\maps\E1M2.prt"
 
Addendum 
It was the 64 bits version. The 32 bits version is compiling fine. However, I'm on Win 7 64-bit. 
 
Maybe try installing the 64-bit version of the msvc 2013 runtime (vcredist_x64.exe)? 
Bingo! 
 
#499 
I'll try it.

In the meantime, I've confirmed that the worst part of the dirtmapping bug is now fixed; liquids won't cast dirtmaps on the world anymore.

They still receive dirtmaps, but at least this problem can be worked around by func_detailing them with _dirt -1: screenshot
Fast! 
Wow, 0.15.7 is incredibly fast! I don't have specific times, but it speeds up light on my map by a huge amount. No idea what kind of wizardry was performed for this, but it's really cut down on the iteration time for my map. Thanks so much!
