NAME

ufo2map - UFO: Alien Invasion map compiler

SYNOPSIS

ufo2map <param1 <subparam1> <subparam2> <...>> <param2> <...> [map]

DESCRIPTION

This is the UFO: AI map compiler.

OPTIONS

General options:
-h --help
: print (this) help and exit

-nice <prio>
: priority level [unix nice level from -20 to 19 where 19 is the lowest priority]

-nofootstep
: don't generate a footstep file

-tracefile
: generate two csv files describing the floors and walls found by the trace
functions

-debugfile (TODO)
: generate a trace debug file. The client can load the file to highlight map
obstructions

-stats --statistics
: print statistics and quit. may be used with -check or -fix

-v --verbosity <int>
: set verbosity. higher <int> gives more output if it is required, this should be
the first option 0 - no stdout, 1 - only check/fix messages, 2 - (compile) only
mapname 2 - (check/fix) mapname if findings, 4 - normal output, 5 - extra output, 6
- dump (a lot extra from BSPing)

-V --version
: return Version and Revision level

-material
: generate a material (.mat) file, do not proceed to compilation

Lighting options:
-extra : extra light samples

-nolighting TYPE
: don't perform the lighting calculations, where TYPE is one of day, night, all
default is all

-quant : lightquant - lightmap resolution downscale (e.g. 4 = 1 << 4) (values between 1
and 6)

-scale : global light scale factor

-saturation
: saturation factor (e.g. 1.5 - default is 1.0)

-contrast
: contrast factor (e.g. 1.05, default is 1.0)

-t --threads
: thread amount

Binary space partitioning (BSPing) options:
-block <xl> <yl>
:

-blocks <xl> <yl> <xh> <yh>:

-subdivide
: subdivide brushes for better light effects (but higher polycount)

-surface
: surface light scaling (float value)

-entity
: entity light scaling (float value)

-fulldetail
: don't treat details (and trans surfaces) as details

-info : print bsp file info

-micro <float>
: warn if a brush has a volume lower than the specified float. brushes are tested
after CSG.

-nobackclip
: draw downward pointing faces. (so actors cannot see up through floors in first
person view). default is to set SURF_NODRAW to downard faces.

-nocsg :

-gamedir
: Add another game dir to the search directories

-nodetail
: skip detail brushes

-nomerge
: skip node face merging

-noprune
: don't prune (or cut) nodes

-noshare
:

-notjunc
:

-nowater
: skip water brushes in compilation

-noweld
:

-onlyents
: modify existing bsp file with entities from map file

-exportlightmaps
: write lightmaps into tga images

-verboseentities
: also be verbose about submodels (entities)

Mapping options:
These options operate on map file only. No bsp file is created. Output prefixed by
an asterisk (*) indicates operations that would change the map file. -check
: check source map, only print information. -fix : same
subparameters as -check, changes the source map file.

subparameters for -check and -fix

all : performs all checks and fixes. This is the default.

bru brushes
: includes 'lvl tex mfc mbr'. Performs all checks and fixes associated with
brushes.

ent entities
: performs all checks and fixes associated with entities.

con contained
: checks for brushes contained entirely within other brushes. includes coincident
duplicates.

isc intersection
: report intersection between optimisable brushes from worldspawn and func_group
entities

this is not included in all or bru as it is not always a bad thing

mbr microbrush <float>
: test for brushes smaller than <float> unit^3. this is done without the csg

step, unlike the bsp -micro option. default 1 unit^3.

lvl levelflags
: if no levelflags for a brush or entity are set, all of them are set

flv filllevelflags
: ensure set levelflag bits are uninterrupted

ndr nodraws
: assigns SURF_NODRAW to hidden faces

tex textures
: warns when no texture or error texture is assigned.

ensures special textures and content/surface flags are consistent.

mfc mixedfacecontents
: ensures the contentflags are the same on each face of each brush.

zft zfighting
: intersecting brushes with a common face: prevent textures shimmering together
