Under the Menu - Select Options, then Game Select.... The problem is that QBSP3 & the rest of the Quake 2 utilities are loking for your Quake 2 Directory to pull the Entities into your Map. You have the Quake 1 Directory currently selected and it can't find the Entities. I think you can also get around this by using the pre-extracted entities, but I haven't tried it. Yes - QRAD3.EXE is the replacement for Light in Quake 2. One thing I saw that I didn't like is the fact that you HAVE to run QVIS3.EXE before you can use QRAD3.EXE. This makes a fairly large level a pain in the a** to test....as it take it forever to VIS... John Sanderbeck
