Quake 1 Maps for Quake 3

Post by **lowdown187** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 8:55 pm

Does anyone know if there's a way to import the quake 1 maps in quake 3?

Much obliged,

With a few hours work and a working knowledge of Q1 and Q3 editors, yet it's possible on some maps.

However, the overall map scale is off, and the map would have to be entirely retextured and the entities re-placed. The lighting usually needs a complete overhaul as well or you can try getting creative with notepad find/replace on the raw map file to tone down the light entities. Either works.

You'll have to google around for a DeBSP program that works on Q1 maps. Bear in mind that the Q2 and Q3 map and BSP formats are supposed to be nearly identical, so you can get away with some stuff on-and-off with tools designed for Q2.

My last experimentation with direct Q1-Q3 conversion resulted in getting a .map file into Q3Radiant, but often large sections of the structure were missing and needed re-constructing. It's do-able, but time intensive.

Try These:-

DM1 - Place of Two Deaths by Mike Zuber
***DM1ish - Place of Two Kings by DaveBulow***
DM2 - Claustrophobopolis by Mike Zuber
DM3 - The Abandoned Base III by Obi-Wan
***DM4 - The Bad Place by Mike Zuber***
DM4ish - A Very Bad Place by PowZeR
***HipDm1 - The Edge Of Oblivion by Mike Zuber***

Or try this mod which also has pretty much all Q1 / Q2 map conversions covered as well as Q1 / Q2 class based game styles:-

Generations Arena For Quake 3

Thank you for both replies. Those map downloads were exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for those links, the maps are great.

Even though I could just boot up quake 1 and play the actual ones.

Friend of mine just asked me about DM6. Then I remember Swelt did a version, that is by far the best version I've seen, so here it is:-
