I was there Gandalf. I was there seven-teen years ago. I was there when the post was written. :) This is a blast from the past. I still remember writing the first post all those years ago. I've updated the links on the first post to point to my Github account. There are some other maps on there too.

exactvertex is perfectly safe. Years ago I could have given you an exact definition of what the difference is, but maintaining brightness between overbright bits settings sounds right. I had a quick look at one of my shader files, I've used exactvertex a lot myself. I think Q3ASE has quite a lot of ...

Ok not quite done. It appears not sleeping has turned me into a blatant liar, I've added a couple of new features. Firstly for building waterfalls, you can now make the top of the waterfall emit from the emitter quad by setting the zBase slider in Dynamics 1 to -1. This will shift the whole shader d...

Yes, I don't think I've made any changes since my past post.

If anyone's interested I've pushed the sources onto github:

https://github.com/FS-NulL

I don't really have any intent to continue this any further, I just did this as an exercise in learning git; but if anyone else wants to add anything go right ahead.

Have fun!

You can usually get a shader to look similar between obb 0 and obb 1 by setting the rgbgen stage parameter. Try identity or const ( 0.5 0.5 0.5 ) in the troublesome stage(s) to force the vertex colours to be equal in both obb0 and obb 1. I refer you to the rgbgen section of the shader manual which d...

Just throwing in an honorable mention for Q3Radiant, I've just never found better. Sure 1.4 has paint select which is awesome, and 1.5 has that rotation gizmo which is super awesome for placing models. But for pure brush/texture work I don't think its beatable.

Massive bump x3. First post updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello yet again! I've been rather slack with keeping you updated, and the program updated for that matter. Since last time I've added some of the suggestions that have been made. The export button...

I've been learning sculpting this week:

DaEngineer:: Change the angle constraints on the 'Dynamics2' tab.

Freebrief's tool can be found here: http://www.mods-r-us.net/freebrief/q3a/ps/index.html

You need a blend mode in the first stage, something like: { blendfunc add map textures/liquids/proto_gruel3.tga tcMod scroll 0.035 0.035 } Right now your only blending the second stage on top of an opaque first stage; instead of blending the first stage with the back ground, then blending in the 2nd.

I think you can also use target_teleport to have team specific destinations via a target_relay. ie: trigger_multiple -> target_relay ( red only) -> target_teleport -> misc_tele_dest | -> target_relay (blue only) -> target_teleport -> misc_tele_dest

Awesome! I was hoping to see an update and here it is. Do you have any sample files to show how you can use the program to create some basic effects, like fire, rain, chimney smoke, etc? Heres a few examples with a very very rough guide to some of them. (It needs work) http://homepages.manx.net/urt...

Massive bump x2. First post updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello again! I've been working on a map that takes over 12 hours to compile so I've had some spare time to work on this again. This version adds support for up to 4 simultaneous particle systems, ...

This is a factory-ish part of a map I'm working on. I just finished the roof off last night, it made the area look much better than the grey flat horizontal concrete slab i had in an older version. Still need to add a bit more detail at ground level though. [lvlshot]http://homepages.manx.net/urtstat...

I could have sworn that in the absence of q3map_lightimage, q3map2 will look at the qer_editorimage. It worked correctly with this shader: textures/null_urt1/glass_clear { qer_editorimage textures/null_urt1/glass_shadow.tga surfaceparm nolightmap surfaceparm trans surfaceparm lightfilter cull disabl...

The texture with the alpha channel will need to be the texture referenced in qer_editorimage not the 'map' texture. You might be right about alphashadow being a binary on/off. (Its been a while since I experimented with it.) But you can definatly replace alphashadow with lightfilter on a black/white...

To remap any number of textures on a model, you'd use _remap, _remap2, _remap3 and so on.

The original q3r manual had a huge list of shortcuts, although many didn't even work in q3r never mind gtk. But its here if you want to read it: http://accad.osu.edu/~mlewis/Gauge/q3rm ... c475185912 The middle mouse button functions are my favorite: 2D View : MMB : Rotate the camera to look towards...

Did you add spawnflags 4 to the model to make q3map2 lightmap the model. Otherwise the model will be vertex lit, which it looks like is happening.

ioQuake3 has the \video command that spews out a high quality AVI file (with sound unlike cl_avidemo). It has to be run on a demo though, but thats not really a problem most of the time.

Yes, its r_znear

Looks like quake3, using modifications provided from Urban Terror. Sexy water etc

Bingo! Its a fully backwards compatible engine upgrade. So the map still looks pretty similar under quake3's renderer.

And now for something completely different

I think should work.
