visit the Quake 2 Cafe's file server.

thousands of original archives, a massive amount of maps, lots of stuff that has vanished widely from the web.

I have many things I do during the day and only so much time for this. Nothing in your post was helpful. I tried what you suggested and it did not work in any way, shape or form that I tried it. If you have more specific info please share it. You should not assume prior knowledge of a topic when you are giving help. Being as specific as you can is always a good thing. If what you posted is all you have then it's wrong. Thank you for the reply and I would have got back to you on my schedule not yours

I didn't take that personal, it was a misunderstanding ....

@Focalor : ok, sorry then.

@Jaeon : yep, quark is a great tool. a bit buggy maybe, but you can deal with that. the concept of the *quark - explorer* to organize your files, the convenient texture browser, the shape builder macros and other stuff makes this a useable program to create maps.

can't tell you about editing FGD files.

@Jaeon,
the statement you quoted was not addressed to you, it was for focalor .... lol

so phong shading didn't work for you ?
the arghrad - readme says :

ArghRad can use phong shading to simulate curved surfaces. This
option is assigned to individual faces. To make ArghRad use phong
shading on a face, give it a light value, but do NOT set the light
flag. That face will be smoothed together with all touching faces
that have the same value. Think of this value as a "curve ID tag".
Try to use unique values for unconnected curves because that will
speed up compiling.

as I told you .....
maybe you overlooked something ?
that's all I can tell.

have a nice day m8 !

give the surfaces a light value (not important which, but the same for all brushes that belong together),
but do not set the light flag !

this should tell arghrad to use phong - shading.
