Re: [Quake-C] Need help with surface lighting and RT lighting

[Forest H. <bta...@gm...>]

That's correct, rtlighting uses only the .rtlights file or imports light
entities from the .bsp (in the case of q3bsp these only exist in the bsp if
the _keeplights flag is set to 1 in worldspawn).

You can freely create different lighting in the rtlights editor
(r_editlights_help can provide some info).
