fKd: A few
first-things-first's...
- Make sure you are compiling with the latest version of Q3Map2
- You may want to brush up on the Q3Map2 documentation scattered about... in the readme, online, etc.
- You may want to compile from a batch file, if you know how, or using a newer GUI app like Q3Map2toolz
- There are a lot of updated compile switches used with Q3Map2 that you may want to take advantage of for decreased compile times (-fast light stage switch is one of them) and better quality lighting. Do some searching, lots of documentation everywhere.

Yeah, q3map2toolz is better (IMO) and you should be able to find the -fast switch under the lighting options. It speeds up the lighting a great deal

Ax, I think you mean that models and patches don't cast shadows. Easy to fix with a rough brush cut of it and invis texture applied.

Once again, Q3Map2 for the win!

here's a good example I used years ago on an old RTCW map
Detail : with all the eye candy crap that just bloats bsp leaves
Structural, the brushes actually needed to get a good vis hull. Notice that besides the sky texture, its all just caulk anyway.

Quakin's tutorial in the archives section is IMO, still the best detail tutorial I've seen yet.
