A collection of command line utilities for building Quake levels and working
with various Quake file formats. I need to work on the documentation a bit
more, but below are some brief descriptions of the tools.
Included utilities:
light - A modified version of id's original light tool. Used for lighting a
level after the bsp stage. This util is also known as TyrLite; see
tyrlite.txt for detailed usage instructions.
vis - Standard vis util; creates the potentially visible set (PVS) for a
bsp. This version had been slightly modified from id's version to
reduce the compile time a little.
bspinfo - Simple util to print out some stats about the data contained in a
bsp file.
bsputil - Tool for working with a bsp file. Not sure where this one is going,
but for now all it can do is extract the entities lump from a bsp
file into a text file. Might add a bsp -> wad extractor at some
stage too.
qbsp - A modified version of Greg Lewis' TreeQBSP, which is in turn based
on id's original qbsp tool. Used for turning a .map file into a
playable .bsp file.
