Love the shot with the lava and skull :) I think the lighting needs some love, especially in the larger outdoor areas. It's very patchy and the ground is dark, therefore any enemies in that area will be dark too. Get some fill lights in there and make all the little lights around the place have a higher intensity but less range.

is a great idea that will come in handy! Thanks EricW (and mukor for sharing it). Does it work only with wads or with bsps too? There are some released maps, like [kona]'s or Serge Jaeken's The Contract, that I'd like to fix without having to de/recompile.

It only does WAD files. bsputil can extract textures from a bsp to a wad. Adding a feature to qbsp or bsputil to update a bsp's textures from a wad is on my todo list.. not sure if any tools can do it at the moment.

Awesome!

None that I'm aware of.
@mukor
You removed unintended fullbrights though (cruxluminis3 and others) and this f'd up the fence textures. It's been a headache. :(

Not yet, been busy/lazy. I think considering how many Knave textures have fullbrights intentionally I think it's better to have a list of which textures have them by accident and then just excise them.

i didnt even consider that, dumptruck. apologies for my lack of foresight..
use texmex to replace the original wad with the desired non fullbright textures in the DEFULLBRIGHT wad.

Hey you were trying to help!

Yep that's what I was doing, slowly but surely as I found them. But it was pretty late last night so I got everything mixed up. (that's when I posted ;P) I may have time this week to do a revised version or a smaller version with just the fences/lights at least. In TB you can have WADs obey a hierarchy (or whatever the term is) so if you have a fixed wad above the de-fullbright one you are set but I am not sure if JACK or NetRad or QuarK do the same.
BTW

if you run defullbright.exe with the "-preview" flag, it will generate one .tga image per texture with simulated dim lighting, so you can quickly spot the ones that have intentional fullbright pixels. Just need an image viewer that can load a bunch of tga's at once.
@ericw
OMG. I am speechless. I have a to-do list I want to get through tonight but I will give this a whack in the next day or so we can fix this wad up for anyone who may be having issues.

I just tried it on the wad and the results of the -preview thing are a bit hard to see at the moment.. I'm going to tweak it a bit and take a stab at making a fixed wad

Some detailing left in a couple rooms, minor monster/item placement, and the final encounter triggers are all that remain.

You can place custom models in Quoth. Therefore candle prop + light above it will work.
