I would like to propose my own mapping forum for the list. It's in German, but I think I'm not the only one with German as his mother tongue who's reading the list ;) The main site is here, the tutorials subforum can be found there.

EDIT: The forum no longer exists. All tutorials have been moved to my blog.

Did some major fixes/changes where needed, mass pruning of the thread of all non link-related material. Incorporated links that were later listed, the ones that are still listed are ones I haven't gotten to yet.

Let's try and keep to only posting links please. If please doesn't work and you post garbage, I will nuke your post.

Thanks Bliccer, I will get to finishing editing this thread sometime soon I hope, and will add that to the list.

Well you could also add the models of q3a.ath.cx to the models section.

I found this: http://www.webalice.it/bancala/files_easygen.htm
And I think Terragen is missing, no?

Thanks to Internet Archive, I found a link to the ik2k texture pack! (In fact, it's more "deduced the link from other sources" but... yeah!)

IK2k texture pack by Iikka "Fingers" Keränen:

Hi

I know this is 2012, but I was wondering if anyone started a modern compilation/archive of the Quake 3 artist textures from the glory days. I skimmed over the links and I noticed the vast majority are now dead, which is a bit saddening to me because a lot of those texture works were good stuff that I used (and gave credit to) during my editing days. It seems only few resources, like SimonOC and evillair are still ticking, but the planetgamespy hosted webs are now gone (or are they?) along with their associated fileplanet download links. Would it be wrong to archive/upload texture pacts without the artist permission (but giving credit of course) for downloading posterity and future level-editing endeavors? Essentially like a directory listing copies of texture pacts that can no longer be downloaded that can be downloaded, for non-commercial use.

Post subject:  Re: Starting Quake Mapping - Link Resources

Gamespy/Fileplanet blew a fart and decided to stop hosting sites (including Quake3World, we had to get intervention from id Software to secure the domain and cloned to our own server). As a result, a lot of Q3 resources were blatantly killed off and lost unless the artist has their own site for hosting (i.e. Sock/Evillair).

The commonly used license for almost all texture packs allow for electronic distribution with attribution, so it's not usually an issue to upload them somewhere for download.

If you have a large collection of stuff that needs archiving, I have a large amount of storage available. Or you can get in contact with the people running Worldspawn Archives or LvL and see if they are willing to host it.

Cheers.

P.S. Curious, did you used to post here way back when? Perhaps under a different name?

Post subject:  Re: Starting Quake Mapping - Link Resources

I frequented another Quake3 editing site that bite the dust many years ago. I think it was Map-Craft....?

I'm kicking myself for not d/ling many of the texture packs before the sites went down. I guess it's lucky that sites like LvL is still going, and a lot of those textures were put to use. I don't have a strong collection, but I have a few smaller sets.

I agree with Echoman, we should create a website to put any kind of useful content that could disappear, maps, textures, tutorials ... Or just make regular backups of entire pages with files and make them accessible from a web, which reminds me that there is the wayback machine, but i dont know if it would be better to have a dedicated web.

I got in touch with Bill Brooks, he has the wemakemaps site backed up and will transfer it to me so I can host it. It will take some time since he's rather busy with his own stuff at the moment. At least we can all rest assured that we have everything archived and will be available in the future.

Someone poke me in a couple of months from now in case we (Bill and I) both forget about this.

Just been in the attic and came across a old Mapping files CD. There's a ton of prefabs and md3 model zip files on the disk, most of which were sourced at Bill Brooks' old mapping website. As well as some md3s which I thought had been lost to the net for ever.

Anyways, thought I'd zip them up and put them on drop box in case anyone wants any of them.

hey LEM mods, there's a links channel in the Discord we could copy this stuff to if the links listed ITT are still good (i see OP is 2005 :paranoid: )

lemme know and i can copy them over

Overview of level editors
When I was getting back into mapping recently I scanned around but couldn't find clear information on what editor should be used in <current year>. This stuff was a bit confusing and I just wanted a clear steer on what's relevant today. So here's what I found:

You'll see various references to Radiant as 'the' level editor for Quake 3. There's several versions of Radiant, and also some multi-game editors with different names that work with Quake 3. It is a personal choice which editor you use. Tutorials and advice often assume you're using a particular editor or at least a flavor of Radiant, so consider that help may be harder to find if you choose an non-Radiant editor.

Q3Radiant
First official released level editor for Quake 3 and the tool used internally during development at id Software. Windows only. Very much legacy now, not really usable if you find a download for it and can get it to run. Development efforts shifted over to GTKRadiant.

GTKRadiant
Q3Radiant rebuilt to run on both Linux and Windows. Maintained by a third party (iculus.org) up to at least 2018.
Downloads Here

NetRadiant
A fork of GtkRadiant by Alientrap, developers of Nexuiz. Currently maintained by the Xonotic project. In some ways more stable/capable than GTKRadiant, but the development motivations have been mostly non-Quake3 games.
Downloads Here

NetRadiant-Custom
A fork of NetRadiant (GtkRadiant 1.4→massive rewrite→1.5→NetRadiant→this). Main focus is on Quake, Quake3 and Quake Live. Actively maintained (as of mid 2022).
This is the editor I use and recommend as of mid 2022. It's stable, fast, supports everything I need and has a bunch of neat new features. Most of the tutorials and advice you'll get online pertaining to GTKRadiant will work in this pretty much the same.
Downloads Here

DarkRadiant
A fork of GtkRadiant primarily intended to support 'The Dark Mod' which is a Thief-inspired total conversion for Doom 3. However it does officially also support Quake 3
Official Site Here

MacRadiant
A port of GtkRadiant 1.4 to Mac OS X.
Official Site Here

TrenchBroom
Not forked from any flavor of Radiant, Trenchbroom is it's own thing and supports a ton of games from Daikatana to Quake 3.
Official Site Here

QuArK
Supports a ton of different games and Q3 is one of them.
Downloads Here

While digging around I also found someone else had compiled a big list of Radiant flavors a few years ago. See here for even more editor choices or here if you just want the raw list.

Good stuff Foo. I have been thinking on re-entering level design for q3a related reasons, as my mind keeps going back to the good 'ole days, and the fun that was had with all of this. Is great to know that this is still around for people like us.

roughrider! Long time no see, good to hear from you buddy :) I put a new map together recently, and can confirm it's as much fun (and challenge) as ever.

We're pretty active in #level-editing on the Q3W discord (PM doombrain for an invite) and there's a bunch of other mapping discords/irc around as well. Duff and Raw are running servers where beta maps can be tested out with real players, and that helps a ton.

I've asked Doomer if we can get a MediaWiki up and running alongside the forum here so more of this info can get brought together. Good to lower a few barriers for re-entry.
