Getting Started with Quake 3 Engine Level Editing - Essential Files:

Uninstall Radiant (should you still have an old version installed)

Get GtkRadiant editor
Current stable releases:
Download list for GtkRadiant.
If you install versions above 1.4 you will need to download the game packs, which can also be found on the Download List page linked above.

GtkRadiant Version 1.4
Install current stable version.
(widely used, less plug-ins though).
or
Get the latest GTKradiant version that also supports DOOM 3 and Quake IV (real-time lighting):
Go here to get the latest versions and the game packs for versions above 1.4

For the latest v1.5 branch of GTKradiant development the GtkRadiant 1.5.0 Documentation will help.

The other supported gamepacks for Enemy Territory, Half-Life, Heretic 2, Jedi Academy, Jedi Knight 2, Quake II, Q3A/TA, Soldier of Fortune 2, Star Trek Voyager / Elite Force, and Wolfenstein, can be directly downloaded from radiant/nightly/1.5 @ idsoftware.com. The gamepacks can also be downloaded from the link above on the download list page. Visit qeradiant.com for more information.

AEon: Note presently (2010) I am using v1.4, because the model rotation/preview works, compared to v1.2.13.

Get Q3Map2 compiler
Current stable release:
Get q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86.zip @ Hipshot's zfight.com and install.
Visit q3map2 @ shaderlab.com for more information.

For latest Q3Map2 development visit Q3Map2 Support Forum @ Splash Damage.
Other useful info: The Q3Map2 Wiki and the Q3Map2 Shader Manual.

Get Q3Map2Toolz front-end
Current stable release:
Get Q3Map2Toolz and install
Q3Map2Toolz by Hr.O not sure the version of the download

Scan the rest of this thread for information and content to learn from and use.

Then Start Mapping for Quake III Arena!

My Mapediting Favorites in a zip file
If these possibly can help to rebuild a decent sticky thread have at it:

http://www.lrctf.com/users/riddla/Q3mapediting.zip

These are just IE favs in a zip (unzip using folder names). Yeah, I know there are quite a few shortcuts pointing to threads on the old Q3W board, but I feel like the other stuff outweighs that aspect.

Thanks to slinki of our mod project (http://www.lrctf.com) for hooking me up with most all of these favs back in the day

Hope this helps out...

Hi!
I'm a new comer here.
Thanks in advance.

This page has a great free app to generate textures quickly on and on.
I think this tex-editor is a must-have one.

Chris Cookson's (Mojo) site's (hopefully temporarily) down so his Gmax/3dsMAX importer/exporter plugins are unaccessible.

Here's one mirror for those who still need his plugins:

His old 'Mojo' site is dead as it was linked to the original gmax server which died quite a while ago. GMax stuff is all now handled by TurboSquid.

You also probably need q3map_skylight.

Experiment with the sun/sunExt intensity value as well as the skylight amount value. Larger intensity values with small amount values will result in darker shadows, while smaller intensity values with greater amount values will result in lighter shadows.

I recommend the use of q3map_sunExt over normal q3map_sun for better quality of shadow edges.

Read this:
http://www.shaderlab.com/q3map2/shader_manual/apI.html

Advanced info on skybox lighting use!

Edit: Just noted the rest of the new manual (Q3Map2 Shader Manual):

http://www.shaderlab.com/q3map2/shader_ ... index.html

Totally awesome obsidian and ydnar!

Hi peeps,

Not sure if it is still used by anyone, but I just wanted to note that MiriX is still available through FilePlanet.
I'm not sure if it will work with D3/Q4 though, probably not.

Great plugin that installs a .dll file in your Windows system32 directory that allows you to browse through thumbnails of .tga files with Windows Explorer.

Utility written by Speaker for converting Quake maps to Quake 3 maps. It will replace Q1 entities with the closest Q3 equivalents. Only thing it won't do is replace textures. Can't be too lazy.

fyi qeradiant.com appears to be defunct as a source for older versions of GtKRadiant than 1.5, but fileplanet has them:

http://www.fileplanet.com/90431/0/0/0/1 ... GtkRadiant (needs registration though)

also filefront has a mirror of the last version of q3map2, since shaderlab is also defunct:

Both Radiant and Q3Map2 stuff are still hosted in their normal places at qeradiant.com (redirected to the id Software FTP site) and shaderlab.com respectively , there's just no indexes for any of that stuff so you won't be able to find them if you don't already know where they are.

To that end, I've migrated a bunch of Q3Map2 stuff over to my site. Still a work in progress and not all the links work. I've also inadvertently disabled public access to a couple of directories that I've been meaning to fix. Sue me.

http://www.robotrenegade.com/q3map2/

Edit: by "couple of directories" I essentially mean all except the Shader Manual link.

Direct link to Q3Map2 2.5.16 Win32 and Q3Map2 2.5.16 Linux

Hiya

Just a little note to say I've just finished setting up the Mappers' DataBase. The aim of the database is to gather all ressources available on different games to help other map makers. This database will host prefabs, textures, shaders, models... We've almost got 100 items in the database (mainly wolfenstien enemy territory maps / prefabs at the moment) and would like all mappers willing to share their work to do so.

The Mapper's Database is available here :
http://www.gd-experience.eu/index.php?s ... category=6

Thanks

//Marko

Understanding Vis and Hint Brushes @ tremmapping

Nice, tutorial about "line of sight" placement of hint brushes, with many images, explaining in detail what is happening between the portals. Now if only our maps had such a simple portal layout .
