Re: The future of QL?

I'm not sure I understand why people dislike QL compared to Q3, cause it sure seems so when I look around at forums on the net, just casually. Well, QL is just Q3 with countless opportunities squandered, either due to the lack of skill, competence or actual interest by the ip owners. Q3 not only of...

terrible, just terrible! my machine runs gtav and all kinds of other current games. huge ta-maps and the edge of forever for example run at 125fps. so the issue is not the q3-client, the os, lack of ram or whatever. your map runs at 20fps... /quit and rm -rf was all i could think of while testing it...

Also: disable vsync!

Map works fine on my rig. No fps drops anywhere.
Didn't like the map though - way too cramped and full of nooks and crannies for no real reason.
Your first two attempts were much better, imho.

Nice work. The area at the armor shards / ya looks a little stale (mostly the floor). The surfaceparam metalsteps everywhere is super annoying imho.

Re: Direct modification of BSP files

There is no need in batching, because each texture is named in a *.bsp file for just the only time. There usually is - unless you enjoy tedious, mind-numbing work. Just a quick example: #!/bin/bash for BSP in *.bsp; do gsar ${BSP} -stextures/example/shader-or-texture-01:000 -rcustomtx/example/shade...
