After weeks of trying, and testing maps made with Hammer, Quark, Radiant et al, you'll be pleased to know ive found a pretty much infallible method for using Maps created within Hammer. Anyone with questions feel free to email me ([email protected])

However, after trying to develop my own editing tool for use with BSPs, im having trouble with lighting.

Is it actually possible to use dynamic lighting within a BSP?

Thanks for your time. (And patience...)

No, it defies the whole point of bsp, which is to be prerendered

Also, even quake 1 had a light source around the rocket fired from the... um, rocket launcher. Quite pretty it was too, as it flyed (flew even) down a narrow tunnel. So... how???

You can using C++ etc, but you cant in DBpro, yet...
Its a shame really, but i heard there gonna make their own world format which may support realtime lighting and man other cool things.

Once you start down the Dark Path, forever will it dominate your destiny...

Quake-based engines use both prerendering and dynamic lighting, to maximize the speed without sacrificing effects
