Which is the most high quality compile process in GtkRadiant? And what means "Full Vis extra"?

light extra is the best, its down to better shadow quality

Speaking of best quality...did ydnar ever finish his compiler?

which compiler is that? a different one from q3map2?

Yeah, that's ydnar's.
q3map2

I don't think it is ever 'finished'. It's always being updated with new gadgets and mapping trickery

But as far as SoF2 support goes, yeah, its fully compatible except for lightstyles ( ie. no flickering lights.. like the world needs more of those anywy )

when you compile it looks like the old compiler- doesn't tell you exactly where it is in the process

and in gtk there arn't any special  options? do i still have to change the command lines in the project settings (hardcore   , well ok not really but i gota read some stuff   )

or have i missed something out somewhere?

I use a batfile to compile, didn't know people actually used GTK's built in menus...
