vmap

A fork of q3map2, now available as a stand-alone compiler targetting FTEQW

Compiler Changes

Improved High-Dynamic-Range lightmaps
Support for our patchDef2WS and patchDef3WS curved surfaces in the BSP compiler, allowing for 4-way texture blended patches.
Reads individual material scripts (.mat) instead of large .shader files
Surfaces are aware which env_cubemap ents they belong to
light_surface entity support, so you don't have to write map specific materials to override texture light properties
Handles Half-Life styled point lights, including zhlt_lightflags
Handles Half-Life styled light_environment entities
New material keys: vmap_lightLinear, vmap_lightLinearFade
Support for target-less spotlights
Explicit support for func_detail, func_detail_illusionary
Support for misc_prefab (including other .map files)
vmap_remapMaterial/q3map_remapShader can carry over surface flags now
Support for entity key: _entsurfaceflags, so surfaces can override their surfaceflags
Support for entity key: _entcontentflags, so brushes can override their contentflags

To compile on a standard GNU/Linux system: make

On BSD you should probably use GNU make right now. Clang should also be supported, pass CC=clang if you want to use it.

On NT you'll have to jump through a lot more hoops, here's the gist:

MSYS2: https://www.msys2.org/
in the msys2 shell, enter pacman -S --needed base-devel git unzip mingw-w64-$(uname -m)-{toolchain,make,minizip-git}
boot into the Mingw64 shell, don't use the stock MSYS2 shell
run make and it should build everything, in theory

Please don't contact us about helping you build it on Windows. This is a development tool. This is provided AS-IS.

As mentioned before, if you need help with this: you're on your own.
