gtkradian with no game installed

[A1yssa]

Is it possible to use gtkradiant without having any game installed?

Sure, you just won't have any textures or shaders. Or models. Or entity defs (I forget if it reads them from game dir or radiant dir).

it asks me for a project file...but I never load it yet so I don't have a project

too much time has passed since the last time I try to map

You should be able to either find a default.proj in th radiant install dir, or online.

I made a mess posting, sorry...

I can run q4(after installing the patch) but not the editor or the gtkradian(it doesn't propose q4 in the gamelist)


The above turns off full screen mode (the editor needs to be run in window mode), corrects Q4's default brightness from 1.2 to the normal desktop brightness of 1, turns off Anti Aliasing (avoids grid blurring), performs a video restart, and launches the editor. For some folks that editor does not start properly with the above set of parameters, should that happen try adding one or more +wait commands.

E.g.: "I:\Games\Quake4\Quake4.exe" +seta com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set r_brightness 1 +set r_multisamples 0 +vid_restart +editor

this is my shortcut:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\id Software\Quake4Editing\Quake4.exe" +set com_allowConsole 1 +set r_fullscreen 0 +set r_brightness 1 +set r_multisamples 0 +vid_restart +editor +disconnect
