After watching Daz's stream the other day I realized that, yes, I should compile with a batch file like I did back in the day. Then I wouldn't have to wait for compiles to finish
Then I got fancy and added prompts to the batch file asking if I wanted to run the game at the end. I'm even contemplating add functionality where it could look for the PRT file and ask me if I want to bother finishing the compile or not if QBSP leaks Annnnd there it is
@echo off call D:\Dropbox\Quake\Utils\qbsp.exe %1 echo. echo. echo. IF NOT EXIST %1.prt ( Choice /M "Map leaked. Continue compile?" If Errorlevel 2 Goto TheEnd ) call D:\Dropbox\Quake\Utils\vis.exe -level 4 %1 echo. echo. echo. call D:\Dropbox\Quake\Utils\light.exe -dirt -dirtgain 0.75 -dirtscale 1.5 %1 echo. echo. echo. Choice /M "Run Quake" If Errorlevel 2 Goto TheEnd call cd W:\SteamGames\SteamApps\common\Quake call quakespasm-sdl2.exe -dev +gl_clear 1 +map %1 :TheEnd is something that I wish I could use for other id tech games. but sadly I can't seem to get it to work for anything other than q1.
hehe, WarrenM, since Im mapping on OS X I just have the commands separated by semicolon, so it compiles/lights the map and copies it to QuakeSpasm/id1/maps . Launching QuakeSpasm is a single click, and I have +map argument already pre-filled
I started over. This is my progress with a new map during my lunch breaks.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvcqytcnk66fvzz/QuakeJam_WIP_2.jpg?dl=0 Nothing too impressive, but I am getting things done and feeling pretty good about the results even if things will be a bit more blocky then I wanted initially, but I am already 1/4 the way through it on two lunch breaks and 3 hours this evening. Looks like you guys were right, this map is probably not going to compile
compile.... Time q3bsp? Or just give up.... :P Looks like you guys were right, this map is probably not going to compile
compile.... Time q3bsp? Or just give up.... :P Get the q3bsp ball rolling! If enough people start doing it, it will become a thing. Ehh, then I'll just release it later as standalone.
It would be cool if q3bsp was a thing but lack of lightmap styles support is a real bummer Oh well, Goodluck to everyone! It would be cool if q3bsp was a thing but lack of lightmap styles support is a real bummer
Lack of lightstyles is totally a price worth paying. *firecoal and *hotslag don't start with *lava and are therefore treated as water. They don't hurt when you fall in, in Quakespasm. Am I missing something?
Is the "skip" texturename the same as caulk when making a q3 map? What I mean to say is, will it be a removed face and improve performance in the exact same manner as caulk? Also, is there a texturename to make a brush invisible and not fire-through-able -- if you get my drift. Clip allows one to fire through it. The liquid properties are connected to the texture name, so you need to rename them, include "lava" in the title.
Skip in Quake is not like caulk. It just creates a solid invisible face/brush, without affecting the performance. Requires a compiler that supports it or an additional tool to remove the skip surfaces from the bsp. Note that in Darkplaces, monsters will see the player through 'skipped' surfaces. This wad has fixed versions of *firecoal and *hotslag.
Also, is there a texturename to make a brush invisible and not fire-through-able This is skip.
