{{WIP}}

===BSP phase minor switches:===

==== <TT>-custinfoparms</tt>====
*Enables custom surfaceparms for game mods without the need to recompile Q3Map2 itself. Custom surfaceparms are stored in ''custinfoparms.txt'', in the "scripts" directory. Custom surfaceparms follow the format:
{
surfaceparmName 0x0000 //whatever bitflag is used by your mod for said surfaceparm
}

==== <tt>-debuginset</tt>====
*Enables debugging of surface triangle insetting. //I'm totally not sure what this is?

==== <tt>-debugportals</tt>====
*Draws the portals into the bsp as translucent polygons. Omit -vis and -light for best -debugportals results.

==== <tt>-debugsurfaces</tt>====
*Colors every surface a different color (very trippy). Omit -vis and -light for best -debugsurfaces results.

==== <tt>-fakemap</tt>====
*Creates a new .map file with a blank worldspawn entity and all the world brushes from your original .map file. //Don't know much about this one.

==== <tt>-flares</tt>====
*Enable support for flares. They are used to generate a glare effect over bright light sources. Only supported by certain versions of the Quake3 Engine like those used in Raven's titles or [http://www.ioquake3.org ioQuake3].

==== <tt>-flat</tt>====
*Forces all texture coordinates for a given surface to the pixel that best fits the average color of the assigned texture.

==== <tt>-fulldetail</tt>====
*Will cause all detail brushes to be handled as if they were structural.

==== <tt>-leaktest</tt>====
*Will cause Q3Map2 to abort compile if a leak is encountered.

==== <tt>-meta</tt>====
*At one time, there was a clear definition as to what, exactly, the -meta switch did. Now, it has become the "magic" switch that is required for most of Q3Map2's advanced features. Always -meta, and always -v.

====<tt> -mi <N</tt>====
*Sets the maximum per-surface index count to N.

==== <tt>-mv <N></tt>====
*Sets the maximum per-surface vertex count to N.

==== <tt>-nocurves</tt>====
*Will not compile patch meshes into the .bsp.

==== <tt>-nodetail</tt>====
*Will not compile detail brushes into the .bsp.

==== <tt>-nofog</tt>====
*Will not compile fog brushes into the .bsp.

==== <tt>-nohint</tt>====
*Will not compile hint brushes into the .bsp.

==== <tt>-nosubdivide</tt>====
*Visible surfaces will not be split. TessSize is ignored.

==== <tt>-notjunc</tt>====
*Will not fix T-Junctions (can cause sparklies and LOD cracks).

==== <tt>-nowater</tt>====
*Will not compile liquid brushes into .bsp.

==== <tt>-np <shadeangle (1 through 179)></tt>====
*Forces all planar shaders to become nonplanar with the shadeangle specified.

==== <tt>-onlyents</tt>====
*Only changes the entities in the compiled .bsp. Needs a compiled .bsp and a new entity file (.ent)

==== <tt>-patchmeta</tt>====
*Creates meta surfaces from patch meshes. This "bakes" a set LOD into patches in your .bsp.

==== <tt>-skyfix</tt>====
*Enables fix for buggy ATI GL_CLAMP behavior. Always use this.

Sidenote: ATI's behavior is correct. The bug was with *NVIDIA* drivers not distinguishing between GL_CLAMP and GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE, and Q3 using the wrong one: since Q3 development was done predominantly on nVidia hardware, nobody noticed it until too late.

==== <tt>-snap</tt>====
*Enables axial bevel plane snapping to reduce clipped model plane count (use with care). //I totally don't know a thing about this.

==== <tt>-texrange <N></tt>====
*Limits per-surface texel count to N.

==== <tt>-v</tt>====
*Enables verbose mode for the bsp phase. Always use this.

==== <tt>-verboseentities</tt>====
*Outputs more information about compiling entity sub-models into the .bsp.
