- First off, you specified the lowest quality level (+q0), which only displays
- `quick' colors (no textures) and ambient lighting only.
-
- A black scene sounds like you forgot to put a light source in your .dat
- file. It is also possible that the only colors in the scene were defined
- inside the TEXTURE blocks, where they would be ignored with +q0.
-
- The default is +q9 (see the docs on Command Line Parameters). You should
- also set a size for x and y.
