Hey.
Well, I got all three editors running, finally!
I had to disable SMP (WTF is that BTW?)
Here's how my shortcuts look:
"C:\...\Quake4.exe" +set r_fullscreen 0 +editor +com_allowconsole 1 +set r_brightness 1 +set r_multisamples 0 +set r_useSMP 0
Okay, now, I create a room, pop in a light and player start.
Next, I hit F3 to render the cam/view...
B L A M ! !
Nothing.
Just a black viewport.
I'm guessing that the lights don't "render."
What do I do?
Any help would truly be apriciated.
Actually you're supposed to press F7. F3 is the key to revert back to normal mode 
Thanks a bunch insta, much apriciated!
had to disable SMP
SMP == Symmetric Multiple Processing == Means Support for more than 1 Threads for acceleration on dualcore/dualCPU systems.
Yeah, F3 just toggles whether you're in camera or rendered mode. F7 refreshes the scene and updates with your changes. models sort of update in real-time, though, as do lights.
If you really want to see everything as it happens, hit f4 to turn on realtime mode - you'll take a slight bit of a performance hit, but you can drag and move brushes and see it immediately. Not all that useful, though. Easy enough to just refresh when you need it.
I have GOT to get into this engine asap !!
Careful, ferret. Once you peer into the spoils of the Doom 3 engine, you might never go back.
