The lines in q3map2toolz should look something like this:

"C:\urtmapping\q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86\q3map2.exe" -meta -fs_basepath "C:\urtmapping" -fs_game q3ut4 "C:\urtmapping\q3ut4\maps\lighttest_a_a5.map"
"C:\urtmapping\q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86\q3map2.exe" -vis -fs_basepath "C:\urtmapping" -fs_game q3ut4 "C:\urtmapping\q3ut4\maps\lighttest_a_a5.bsp"
"C:\urtmapping\q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86\q3map2.exe" -light -fast -fs_basepath "C:\urtmapping" -fs_game q3ut4 "C:\urtmapping\q3ut4\maps\lighttest_a_a5.bsp"

This is compiling with BSP Vis Light -fast.
The code marked in green will be some different for you as we got things saved in different folders, the rest should be similar

This is the one i use for finalish compiling. There are others here who knows more about this.
Remember the -meta in the first line.

Lol its very basic compile, for final compile i'd use -bounce X, -samples 8, -filter, and some other fancy stuff heh

"There are others here who knows more about this."
xD

I have only one beta out.. ill be paying with this :P
And i just posted this as this is what he need for a normal compile.

I have another problem that i think it is related to shaders.
when i compile my map with light i see this:

How can i give light to my map??
many thanks!!!

You have probably wrong position of sun in sky shader.

what do you mean by wrong position of the sun??

this is my shader

Make sure it's listed in the shaderlist.txt

mmm try to change 6th value in q3map_sunExt to higher than 25 (its elevation of sun).
I will be simply wrong however.
You have tried placing light entity somewhere to see if it works?

yes lights work!!
mhhh... could you explain me the meaning of the six values?? in this way i can find the right location of the sun :)
Thanks :)

q3map_sunExt red green blue intensity degrees elevation deviance samples

red green blue
Color is described by three normalized RGB values. Color will be normalized to a 0.0 to 1.0 range, so it doesn't matter what range you use.

intensity
The brightness of the generated light. A value of 100 is a fairly bright sun. The intensity of the light falls off with angle but not distance.

degrees
The angle relative to the directions of the map file. A setting of 0 degrees equals east. 90 is north, 180 is west and 270 is south. In the original version of Q3Map, non-axial values had a tendency to produce jagged shadows. With Q3Map2, this problem is avoided with new options like lightmap filtering, raytracing and penumbra effects.

elevation
The distance, measured in degrees from the horizon (z value of zero in the map file). An elevation of 0 is sunrise/sunset. An elevation of 90 is noon.

deviance
The number of degrees for the half-shadow. General values up to 2 or 3 are acceptable. The real sun has a solid angle of about half a degree.

samples
The number of random jitters distributed over the solid arc (~16).
