Weird, first time i started mapping it was a fullout ctf-map with reasonable lighting and some good bots and gameplay but man it was ugly texturelike. I could do some neat tricks now but NEVER EVER ask me to texture something.

Skies are boxes but usually with shaders on them or skyboxes which are boxes with still images. No linky though

Woohoo i'm the devil :icon34:

Impossible unless you get a program that converts them back to map files and then you'll still lose some info. There however is 1 map that comes with the installation of radiant which you can edit. Just stick with making your own. Much more fun too.

Btw, you make a space map the exact same way you made that box above...just alot bigger.

To make the sky, go to textures/skies.

My Favorite Site for Tutorials.

Space Tutorial

Btw, You need to make every brush caulk. The only part that needs to be textures is the area the player can see. To only texture on face of a brush press "ctrl" + "shift" + "alt" + "Single Left Click" on the face you want to texture. :) Not a must, but once you get into detailed and large maps it is a frame saver.

Hey that's mine !!!!!!

btw, it's the same as that first box map of yours, just a tad larger. then you put in all the loose stuff (islands,bridges and so on)
last bit is a bit harder:
1) a trigger connected to the deathfall sound
2) a trigger connected to remove powerups
3) a damage trigger
(I allways forget the actual names)

Iirc there should be a pit-o-matic in GTKRad (plugin) that does all the hard work for you.

Take this advice seriously. I am working on my first map with some level of trim and detail. I didn't know I should've started with caulk brushes and now I am paying for it with lots of time spent looking for places I missed changing the texture to caulk. Better to get in the habit of doing it from the beginning.

Caulking mattered with the original q3map (lower compile times/r_speeds/etc) but q3map2 does an excellent job finding and removing never-seen faces.

Caulk still matters, especially for detail brushes. Q3Map2 doesn't cull uncaulked detail faces.

Hmm... q3map2 2.5.16 culls detail brushes but 2.5.12 does not. Bug or feature?
