Anyone wanna edit Q4dm1 (fragging yard) a tad and compile it?
Add mega where Quad is, make it selectable in Tourney, name it pro-q4dm1 and upload it on a map site.. or send it to me.

Anyone?

Would be much appreciated.

Or, if someone could (in layman terms) explain to me how i can do it.
I've opened the editor.....

now what..

Post by **reefsurfer** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 2:08 pm

extrated the map and opened it in the editor.. how do i look/move around?
Can i just mark the Quad damage and pick edit and replace it with any other item?
When im done.. what do i do then?

Help.

just select it and delete. Then add the megahealth in the same spot and recompile?

you might be breaking some EULA rules though.

Post by **Fjoggs** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:04 pm

Yeah, that doesn't sound too legit.

Post by **reefsurfer** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:08 pm

I cant select it survivor.

How come i am breaking rules?
Is it because im editing their map?
I own the game.. but i cant edit a map?
Wouldent that fall under the same category as editing skins with different colors?
I cant see how that is braking EULA's...

The map is their work, same way that you may use the q3 engine source code but none of the assets. You are breaking the eula since it isn't your own work you're editing.

how do i compile it?
And where do i pick gametype?

Post by **axbaby** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 4:15 pm

you would need to distribute id's map .
that's where the problem is.

Post by **axbaby** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 4:18 pm

q4's console
type
dmap pro-q3dm4

i don't know how to change gametypes.

Might be my ignorance or lack of laws in this area.. but how is that different from editing a player model with a differant color/skin and release it for people to download...its still the developers model.

whats the differance ax?

ok.. but how do i compile it?
I know the .bsp ...but wich one do i pick?

Post by **axbaby** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 5:36 pm

your axing a noobie at doom3/q4 mapping
so this info may be bogus
open map in the editor then choose bsp.

as far as releasing your map i'd say no one will care as long as it's a few peeps only and has a huge disclaimer.

Post by **Fjoggs** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 6:23 pm

lol
you compile the map when you type
dmap "name"

test it with si_pure 0 | si_map "" | spawnserver

The Q3 EULA allows you to modify and redistribute assets as long as you A) don't make a profit off it, and B) use them for the same game. I suspect the Q4 EULA to be quite similar (though I can't vouch for it, not having read it yet).

you want mega health every 30 seconds?

i compiled it but 30 seconds seems to much

Post by **Survivor** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 8:30 pm

mh is usually 25 secs i think?

Post by **reefsurfer** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 8:33 pm

Go for 25 sec then.

Post by **Method** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:38 pm

To make it available in the Tourney mode, you need to edit .def file with the map's name and set "Tourney" to "1".
