Setting up GtkR for CPMA / and Caulk question

[clownfart]

I've been playing around in GtkRadiant in other games. But now I'm trying to make a map for CPMA.

I'd like to know if its possible to launch the game into CPMA with the CNQ3 or ioq3 client and how to do it.

Also is there something I need to make the caulk shaders work? All my tool textures show up as "Shader Image Missing".

Thanks.

Cpma is just a mod. Set it up for quake3 and launch cnq3.exe instead of quake3.exe.
You need the common-spog.pk3 for the shader images. Can't actually remember where that comes from. Most likely the gamepaks for quake3. I'm sure Obsidian got a link for that.

To get the green armor for cpm:
Guess you could copy the entities.def file for cpm to $radiant/q3a-game/cpma/entities.def or similar (may differ for your version of radiant), but you can simply place an item_armor_body or whatever and rename it to item_armor_jacket, works fine.

Starting into cpm:
For the original Quake 3 executable, adding +set fs_game cpma as arguments starts the game directly into cpm, guess this should work for other executables, too.

Thanks.

Is there a way to make it launch into CPMA automatically after a compile?

I'm sure Obsidian got a link for that.

If using GtkRadiant 1.5.0, you will need this.

This is packaged with the GtkRadiant install files in previous versions, so it is only needed with the 1.5 branch.

Setting the executable to cnq3.exe should do the trick, as this launched cpma by default.

I don't know how to do that.


Also, thanks Obsidian.

Hmm, thought there was a executable setting. Just rename cnq3.exe to quake3.exe and it should work.

Also, in GtkRadiant, under File > Project Settings, you may need to change the mod to CPMA.
