Title: Using Arghrad?
Post by: supertanker on May 24, 2006, 10:38:15 PM

How can I use ArghRad with GTKRadiant?

Also can anyone send me the most recent version? There download server is broken and I only have an old crap version.

- Make sure the map is vised.
- Scale textures up on large surface areas to decrease the lightmap size.
- Avoid large, open areas in general.
- Scale the textures up on any triggers to an extremely high value (nobody's going to see them anyway, so lighting doesn't matter).

Just trigger.  Triggers are entities, like platforms, doors, etc.  It's the game code that controls what they do, not the compiler.  Hint and clip brushes shouldn't be lit, though.
