But what are the advantages of Quake 3 BSP?

[leileilol]

- Lightgrids (no need to sample model lighting from the bottom lightmap)
- Curves/beziers
- No worries about collision hulls
- Independent lightmap resolution, so you can still use high-res textures without high-res lightmaps. This kills software support
- Ambient occlusion
- Models can be built directly into the map (Similar to UnrealEngine2 StaticMesh)
- Volumetric fog
- Surfaceflags
- No more 'split leafs' (more death to software, but this leads to much faster map rendering as the map geometry is much more simpler)

Wow, it is a lot better.

Well... you could've figured that out yourself by playing any id tech3 game. The difference is obvious.

...........and no, this is not something you can simply paste into PSP GLQuake.

Q2 also has surface flags, which are a blessing. Technically, Q2 is not too shabby. As the lots of games built on it show. Sure Q3 is better.

Well after some Google searching, and little to no useful results, here is my question.

Whats the differences between:

Quake 1 BSP and Quake 2 BSP
Half-Life BSP and Quake 2 BSP

It's easy to find descriptions of each format.
