Quakompiler – A modern compiling GUI for Quake engines

[DaEngineer]

I’ve just released v0.1 of my new application Quakompiler, a modern cross-platform GUI for compiling Quake engine maps. It’s written in GDScript, the Godot Engine’s scripting language.



Features

• Compiling and running Quake 1 and 3 maps with an easy to use GUI
• Compiling multiple stages sequentially
• Custom switches for all stages
• Compiler setups can be exported as executable .bat files on Windows and .sh files on Linux
• Runs natively on Windows and Linux without setup
• Hotkeys for compiling and launching
• Detailed help dialogues
• Full keyboard support - Quakompile can be used without a mouse
• Responsive, resizeable UI
• Easy to edit config.ini file that contains all settings

Releases and source code are available on Github.
