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.

@ericw 
Emailed you a .map and .bsp/.lit

And yes, this is for the Christmas Jam :3c 
Sorry For The OT, But 
if you look just below your pic in the first link, there's a pretty badass fan art of Vader slaughtering Ewoks. 
Does _mirrorinside 1 not affect {fence textures? It's not working for me. Do I need both light and qbsp, I'm only using the qbsp from version 0.15.10 
 
It's not in 0.15.10, I posted a dev build link in though #910
Should work on fence textures 
Hrm 
Still didn't work. 
@Qmaster: Worked For Me. 
I had func_detail_fence, skip textured all sides except for 1, which had the AD vines.

Saw them from both sides. 
Pondering!! 
Would it be possible to have model->geo baking like q3's misc_model(static) 
 
I've played with that in the past, but I didn't understand QBSP as well so it didn't work very well. It's probably doable to bake in a model without converting it to brushes, but it would be illusionary only (doesn't stop bullets, no collision) so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort.

If you want collision (player / monster / bullets) qbsp needs brushes, so you can use obj2map or something to convert to .map first (turning triangles into tetrahedrons with obj2map will probably give you a bloated / inefficient bsp, though). 
Wait 
Do I need to use func_detail_fence only? I've been using func_illusionary. 
Qmaster 
no, I tested it with func_illusionary. I don't know why it's not working for you, check spelling? "_mirrorinside"
Build version should be "tyrutils-ericw-v0.15.10-12-gd86913a" 
Func_illusionary Also Worked. 
No, not func_detail_fence only.

When I first tested I used func_illusionary and then thought, "Oh wait, he mentioned fence!" So my brain connected dots that weren't there :(

What didn't work for me was standard func_detail and func_detail_wall

hth's 
 
"but it would be illusionary only (doesn't stop bullets, no collision) so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. "

Still worth it, imo. 
D'oh 
I think I figured out my shadow bug on my trees - it was the old "intersecting brush with func_illusionary" bug.

My trees have a little solid brush in the center as a "trunk", and making it into another func_illusionary seems to fix the issue.

Still, having a fix for that bug would be nice... 
Hang On 
Turns out it wasn't compiling with the ericw qbsp at all in either version. I usually just hit yes whenever JACK warns me that prt wasnt made since I know my test map isn't sealed.

Not sure what's up. The output says almost nothing to the compile dialogue. Just says the compile path and path to file which are correct and nothing else.

Do I need any sort of compile parameter to compile 220 map format? Already tried the usual admin privileges. 
Huh 
Ya going back to tried and true txqbsp modified by mh and it compiled just fine.

Hmap2 Works Too 
Does anyone else have trouble with using JACK, valve 220 format, and the tyrutil's qbsp? Light and vis work fine for me but not qbsp. Qbsp produces nothing and gives no output. Must be something wrong with my setup but not sure what. I'm not seeing anything obvious in the docs about compiling for 220 .MAP format. Sorry for the multiple posts but this is wierd and I really want to be able to use all the awesome features ericw has added. 
 
Hm.. there is no special flag for compiling valve 220, it should just work :/ 
Just Work (c) 
Got it. Mirrorinside working too!! Yay! I manually draggedndropped the .map onto qbsp amd it gave me a couple errors for missing dll's.

Needed to download:
msvcp120.dll
msvcr120.dll

And put into same directory as qbsp.exe. I guess it has to do with Windows 10 missing some VisualC packages. 
Experimental Build 
Is giving me some wierd gray patches where walls aren't getting drawn...tried changing the brush work significantly with no effect. I can send you my .maps if you'd like? 
 
Sure, I can check it out. 
Sent 
Pics included to show the problem spots. Let me know if you can't find where they are. 
#942 
This is awesome. 
Error Message Related To -bsp2 Vertices? 
Hey there,

My next map is approaching completion. I'm working on the beta build and just recently encountered a few errors when compiling that seem to have been alleviated with the use of bsp2 format.

The first time unfortunately I did not record entirely but it stated something such as: Error: "...to many vertices... try compiling with bsp2..."

Now this was most certainly not a leak. The map is sealed, there are no warnings of entities exposed to the void, no pointfile, etc. and using bsp2 fixes the problem. When I compile now with bsp2, the map compiles with vis and all is good.

However, I cannot replicate the original error message. If I remove -bsp2 the compiler reports error:
"13:C:projectstyrutils-ericwqbspsurfaces.cc:316: Q_assert<v1 == edge->v[1] & & v2 == edge->v[0] failed."

Using bsp2 gets rid of this error as well and all is good. Now, I'm not sure what this error is, but the first message was a lot more useful and allowed me to fix the problem on my own, which is great. Maybe this error message should say something similar.

Thanks 
Backslashes Missing Sorry. 
The error reads:

"13:C:\projects\tyrutils-ericw\qbsp\surfaces.cc:316: Q_assert<v1 == edge->v[1] & & v2 == edge->v[0] failed." 
Redfield 
The current code to detect if bsp2 is needed isn't very good.. I think those crashes just mean that the map needs the -bsp2 flag, but qbsp didn't detect it properly. Improving that is on the todo list.
