Nevermind!

Wasn't aware there was a tutorial on this.

(Sheesh ... I had omitted something stupid. No wonder it crashed .... Grrrr. Dumb mistake. Then again I wasn't using the tutorial, but still ...)

Ah, but because you tried to implement it on your own, you truly understood the tutorial. And because you understood the tutorial, you know what you did wrong. Maybe next time you'll be able to avoid the same mistake .

I'll have to take a look at the tut

In 1.9 I blindly increased dlights without any backbone to it
Same for lightmaps I need to nix half life map support it's kinda useless and breaks demos
Except in DirectQ and dark places

regarding extended lightstyles and demo/protocol incompatibility, just don't send/write those lightstyles if they're empty, and make sure they're properly cleared on map changes.

I can appreciate that, i opened a book trying to make something of a better client than proquake in 2003 based on joequake. I was focusing on the QRP engine then saw QMB particles, and the flow of quakesource.com additions, and jq encompassed most. and i jumped on that codebase. I am more a quakeC coder and a player. So im kinda biased. I get first hand bitching from the player base. Mostly. mods are focal and player dont care about useability of a feature if its not focused on their game (mod).. i just get caught up with mr jones when no one knows him...

Definitely agreed that it's great that you tried to implement it yourself. I learned so much from taking the same approach back when I started out (including when to say "OK, time to stop trying myself and copy what someone else has done!" ). Sure I made some horrible mistakes at the time, but I've no regrets about the experience.
