You mean that there's no info about texlights in the compiled BSP? Where can I get this rad file?

No, there is no light info in map. Only precompiled lightmaps

That's true, although there's the info_texlights point entity that stores texture names and light amount data, which I believe it's how you get the light data from light and light_spot entities, right? I could be wrong, I'm just assuming.

I also thought that texlights contributed to the lightmap data. Apparently this isn't the case.

Light polygons have no data about their brightness

I just thought that somehow you could take the texture name from info_texlights, assign emissive to the corresponding material with the same name and use the RGB value as color and brightness for amount. I'm no programmer so that's why I'm asking you.
It's fine if you can't do that though. This plugin does wonders as is. 👍

That's where rad file comes in. It contains emissive power for each texture

How do you manage to import light data from light entities then? Also if we need this rad file, maybe we can just import it into Blender using your plugin if that's the case, I just don't know where to find it or how to generate it.

I got rad file from my friend, who re-created it. But its not very accurate

Do you mind sharing the process of creating one? I'm also trying to import a map of my own in Blender, which means I have all the project files, in case those are necessary. Also feel free to continue this in Discord if you don't want to go too much off-topic in here, my Discord name is the same as here but with no capital letters (cianez).
