I already have the prefabs, but thanks, i'll try without the -light :)


You need the -light to.... Alright, deep breath... Basic Concept!

-bsp makes the map file
-vis cuts it into piece so the engine doesn't draw it all at once
-light can take forever, but it is the part when sun and such is simulated into your map.

if you run just the BSP, you can play it unoptimized at fullbright
if you run jsut BSP+VIS, you can play it optimized at fullbright
if you run all, BSP+VIS+LIGHT you can play optimized without the fullbright across the map, you will have bright/shade/dark areas.

It should be making the log in the bottom window of GTK. This is what you get when you compile a single brush.


Code:


q3map2toolz will create a log file from the verbose, I'm sure theres another way, but this is the way I would do it if I wasn't getting it in GTK.

Also, If your running a *.bat, you can add "pause" to the end of the file, so the window doesn't close on you at the end, and then you can copy the text, but I'm not sure if it will cutoff at X number of lines.

MAX_TW_VERTS (12) exceeded

This would explain the textures not being trans, and the map being fullbright, since the -light phase never finishes. This is also listed in the common mapping errors section.

"You maybe have a brush, that intersects too many other brushes. Try to delete it or divide it to smaller brushes."

WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/common/caulk

You should be using textures/tools/_caulk instead.

Hope this helps.
