thanks for those tutorials, but I already figured it out. 

...But I'm having a bit of an issure with the light entity in trenchbroom.
I want to make a lighting affect like this: http://i.imgur.com/m1EbAhU.jpg
But I get this: http://i.imgur.com/hagirQu.jpg
Any idea how to fix this? 

Try going into the light entity and click the plus sign, then name the key "wait" or "delay" without the quote marks. And change the values a bit.

Try wait 5, delay 0 and light 500. That might make a bright light with a small radius. 

It worked! but I'm wondering how I'm supposed to get lighting styles in trenchbroom. (this might be the last time i'd bother asking here for today.) 

is key. A lot of the compilers will come with info in readme files on different settings you can add to light entities.
That's how I found out that setting. Make a few different test maps too, nothing beats testing your ideas for different results. 

Nvm, I just found out how to do it, but thanks anyway! 

TB doesn't show the values to configure the entities. Open up the source file, either .def or .fgd and it will list how to configure everything. 

Personally I think delay 0 has way too much "reach", it just goes forever. I try to use only one or two in a given area, mostly for fill lighting.

Here is some pretty good info on Quake lighting:

is the default light setting. You must be thinking of something else. 

I was thinking about delay 1.

I guess I wasn't yet completely awake. 

If only we had this 16 years ago. 

Since you've got a Modern Quake Level Editor, Maybe a Modern Logo/Splash could work. It would go perfect on T-shirts to generate awareness and funds. Appeals to the New Gen Level Makers?

let me know if you like it? 

To read. It also looks like you've got two seperate logos next to each other.

That does look cool 

The broom part looks a little out of place though. I'd also drop the texture and outer glow personally. 

Torch Broom? 

ehh, as long as it goes away on it's own when the editor's loaded.

Cool! But if you want more feedback, it's best to post screenshots in the "Screenshots & Betas" thread. 

Thanks! I'm glad you like it so far! 

 

The 1.1 branch is not getting updated anymore unless there are serious problems with it, and the 2.0 branch is still under heavy development and it will be a long time until that gets published.

Why? 

I was just wondering... 

Any sweeping changes for the user with 2.0 or is it purely a rewiring of the internals?
