I have experience with making maps for Half-Life 1 and the classic DOOM games and I'm trying to learn how to make levels for Quake 1, I've gotten the editor from the original site and made a pretty decent looking level, it might not be making the

FOR THE LOVE OF QUAKE AND ALL THAT IS UNHOLY, HELP ME! The folder structure is wrong, and your map is called "maps.bsp" which sounds like a mistake. You have:
Id1\mods\maps\maps.bsp what it should be: Id1\maps\your_map_name.bsp and once you have it set up like that, you'll be able to launch it in game by typing "map your_map_name" at the console. I'm not familiar with JACK but if you can make it stop using the "mods" subdirectory of id1, the folder structure should be correct. Just tried that, Thanks for the advice, I think I'm almost there. But now it's not make the

Posted by Yuccaz on 2018/09/02 19:49:35 Hi, Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I couldnt see a way to post in 'Mapping Help' Many thanks to Dumptruck for his great videos! After 20 years of loving Quake I am now enjoying making 'maps', something I thought I could never do. Whether anyone would want to play them is another matter :) Anyway my problem... I have created a button pointing to a train which works as intended however, when pushed it triggers all the monsters on he map? I can here all the fish and scrags all up for a fight, when I dont push it monsters act as normal eg triggered on sight etc. Any ideas? Thanks yuc I apologize for the probably idiotic question but I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask.
How do mappers record those sexy free roam demos they put up on youtube? do you do that with the mapping program and something like OBS or is there a way to do it in quakespasm? Not sure what type of free roam videos you're referring to but you can load up a map in your source port of choice, type "noclip" and "notarget" in console, and then fly around to your heart's content.
You can record a demo usually by typing "record name_of_demo" but then you have to go through the extra step of converting the demo to a format that can be uploaded to youtube. OBS as you already mentioned is the easiest method - you can use game capture and record straight to mp4 or flv among other formats. It's as easy as downloading the program, selecting game capture, maybe setting a few recording options, and then pressing the record button within OBS. Theyre recording a demo in the engine.
Bring down the console and do record your_demo_name you can name the demo whatever you wish. This is saved into the id1 folder if youre playing vanilla Quake. Otherwise itll be in the mod folder of whatever mod youre playing. Then, to get the nice smooth look as seen in this video, run the demo file through this tool. Just drag and drop the Then to replay it in the engine, put the file into the id1 folder (or the folder for whatever mod you recorded it in), open your engine and do playdemo your_demo_name from there youll need to use OBS or some other screen capture software to create the video. Nice, the only other thing I needed to do was hide the gun model and now I can record some pretty footage.
Thanks man. r_drawviewmodel 0
to hide the weapon crosshair 0 to hide the crosshair change the 0 to a 1 to turn them back on. I already knew how to do that, but I didn't express myself clearly, sorry about that.
Thanks anyways to both of you, at first I replied before seeing the second message, but that smooth demo tool will surely come in handy. Hi muk, I renamed the target of the train and button and now all sorted, many thanks for your speedy reply. I have much to learn...I'm loving this map building :)
Don't think i'll release anything soon but may be one day once i've figured it all out. cheers Yuc Is this possible to do? I feel the editor tools are too limited when it comes to creating complex shapes so is it possible to create a obj model and them import that as a brush? I know its possible to export brushes as obj so I was wondering if the reverse is also possible.
Hello, this is my first post on Func_Messageboard so I'm pretty new to the rules and the way things work here but I was wondering something.
In Arcane Dimensions 1.7 (the latest release), there was a map (I think it was ad_swampy) that had a contraption which definitely caught my eye. It was two cogs that rotated seamlessly in opposite directions. That may be just a minor detail to any other player, but it was quite amazing how smooth the rotating motion was. Now, I know that this was done in Scourge of Armagon by hipnotic but the rotation there is not smooth at all...more clunky. And I read somewhere that the way in which the rotation was done there was very cumbersome and complex. So I was wondering...how did the maker of that AD map make such rotating entities? I am new to quake mapping so I do not know if this is possible already but I'd certainly like to know how it was done. I'd love to have such a feature in one of my maps (if it is possible at all). If anyone can help me with this I'd be very grateful! If you're familiar with coding you could collekt that info in the dev_kit1.7, that Sock distributes at his site.
