### Example of q3map_lightimage usage

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Q3AShader_Manual/ch03/pg3_1.htm

This example demonstrates how to use q3map_lightimage to emit light from a shader, sourcing color from a specified texture. It also includes qer_editorimage and q3map_surfacelight.

```q3shader
textures/eerie/ironcrosslt2_10000
{
q3map_lightimagetextures/gothic_light/ironcrosslt2.blend.tga
// this TGA is the source for the color of the blended light

qer_editorimagetextures/gothic_light/ironcrosslt2.tga
//base TGA (used because the shader is used with several
// different light values

q3map_surfacelight 10000
//emitted light value of10,000

{
map $lightmap
//source texture is affected by the lightmap
rgbGen identity
// this command handles the overbright bits created by "sunlight"
// in the game
}
{
maptextures/gothic_light/ironcrosslt2.tga
blendFunc filter
rgbGen identity
}
{
maptextures/gothic_light/ironcrosslt2.blend.tga
blendFunc add
}
}
```

### Quake 3 Arena Voice Script Example

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/New_Teams_For_Q3TA

Inside the braces, each line specifies a sound file path and the corresponding text that will be displayed on screen. Ensure proper syntax to avoid game errors.

```quake_voice_script
//voice file starts here

### Using clampTexCoords for a Stretching Texture

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Q3AShader_Manual/ch05/pg5_1.htm

This example demonstrates how to use 'clampmap' and 'tcMod stretch' to control a texture that stretches. It ensures the texture does not tile and manages its appearance when distorted.

```q3a_shader
textures/sfx/metalbridge06_bounce
{
	//q3map_surfacelight 2000
	surfaceparm nodamage
	q3map_lightimage textures/sfx/jumppadsmall.tga
	q3map_surfacelight 400
	{
		map textures/sfx/metalbridge06_bounce.tga
		rgbGen identity
	}
	{
		map $lightmap
		rgbGen identity
		blendfunc gl_dst_color gl_zero
	}
	{
		map textures/sfx/bouncepad01b_layer1.tga
		blendfunc gl_one gl_one
		rgbGen wave sin .5 .5 0 1.5
	}
	{
		clampmap textures/sfx/jumppadsmall.tga
		blendfunc gl_one gl_one
		tcMod stretch sin 1.2 .8 0 1.5
		rgbGen wave square .5 .5 .25 1.5
	}
	// END
}
```

### Adding Surface Flag Define in Game Source

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Terrain_Manual/pages/new_or_revised_q3map_shader_comm.html

Example of adding a new surface flag definition (SURF_GRASS) to the game's source file (e.g., game/surfaceflags.h).

```c
#define SURF_GRASS 0x80000
```

--------------------------------

### MPTerra2 Root Shader Example (mpterra2_0)

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Terrain_Manual/pages/the_meta_shader.html

```shader
textures/terrain/mpterra2_0
{
surfaceparm nolightmap
q3map_novertexshadows
q3map_forcesunlight
{
map textures/stone/pjrock9b_2.tga
rgbGen vertex
tcmod scale 0.125 0.125
}
{
map textures/skies2/clouds.tga
blendfunc filter
detail
tcmod scale 0.01 0.01
tcMod scroll -0.05 0.05
tcmod transform 1 0 1 1 1 1
}
}
```

### Reply Chat Example with 'hate you'

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/bot_manual/chatsystem.html

An example of a reply chat that can be used when a player says 'I hate you'. It is not used if the player says 'I don't hate you' due to the '!' prefix on 'not'.

```plaintext
["hate you", !"not"] = 7
{
  "why do you hate me";
  "there's no reason for you to hate me";
}
```

--------------------------------

### Basic Quake III Arena Shader Syntax

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Q3AShader_Manual/ch01/pg1_1.htm

Demonstrates the fundamental syntax for a single shader process in Quake III Arena, including deformVertexes, tessSize, and map directives.

```shader
textures/liquids/lava
	d{
	deformVertexes wave sin 0 3 0 0.1
	tessSize 64
	{
	map textures/common/lava.tga
	}
}
```

--------------------------------

### Use '-light' Algorithm for Surfaces

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/Compile_Manual/q3map.html

Applies the '-light' lighting algorithm to all surfaces unless a shader explicitly uses 'q3map_vlight'.

```command-line
q3map -tracelight
```

--------------------------------

### Reply Chat Example: Allowed

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/bot_manual/chatsystem.html

A simple reply chat that is always allowed.

```plaintext
["allowed"] = 7

### Creating a Jump Pad

Source: https://icculus.org/gtkradiant/documentation/q3radiant_manual/appndx/appn_d.htm

This describes the process of creating a jump pad using trigger_push and target_position entities. Ensure the target_position is higher than the trigger_push for proper functionality.

```text
1. Make the brush that contains your pulsing pad texture. It can be set in the floor or raised up on separate brush. 
2. Make a trigger_push brush entity that is smaller than the pad (the id triggers are usually octagonal). 
3. Create a target_position entity and move it to the height and location you want. The target position is both the aiming point for the trigger_push and the highest point (apex) of the assisted jump. 
4. Hi-light the trigger first, then the target_position (order is important). 
5. Press CTRL + k to connect the two entities (pointing the first at the second). 
6. Compile and test it. The first compile needs to be a full or fast vis. If you need to make adjustments to the target_position, you only need to use an entities compile.
```
