There's a link to the full version somewhere in the General Abuse section archive or here in Mapping Help, I think it still works it's where I got my copy from. 

Is there any tutorial how to enable Quake editing in Hammer? I downloaded the editor from http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=hammer
but I can't get it to work with quake maps.
I'm just looking for new editor - GTK Radiant somehow doesn't work on my comp :( 

Use TexMex to export your Q1 wad as a Half-Life wad3 - this can then be loaded into Hammer. I believe aguirRe's tools take care of the compilation from there, you'll have to read his documentation. 

I can create map files with Hammer now but I can't convert to Q1 map format. I have tried both convmap from aguirre and mapconv but the first one does nothing and the second one exits with an error. Maybe this is because in Hammer I only can choose Map Type: HalfLife. After exporting to map, the file looks like this:
( 0 -512 0 ) ( 0 0 0 ) ( 512 0 0 ) WMET1_1 [ 1 0 0 0 ] [ 0 -1 0 0 ] 0 1 1
( 0 0 -32 ) ( 0 0 0 ) ( 0 -512 0 ) WMET1_1 [ 0 1 0 0 ] [ 0 0 -1 0 ] 0 1 1
When compiling with mapconv the error is:
Exception EConverterError ... '[' ist kein gueltiger Integerwert.
Someone help please! 

Well sure you can send it but is it necessary? I have been doing pretty well with the shareware version so far. How does it differ?

And as for GTKRadiant - Yeah well I like the editor and I'm familiar with it but I understood that it requires some tweaking before you can make it Quake compatible. And I'm already pretty far into mapping my level so there's no need to change the editor at this point.

Has a brush limit of 500 I believe.

Eventually you'll surpass that, trust me. :) 

I'm at 416 now:( Shit...

I have been using IKBase textures with the shareware - if I switch to registered version will they still stay in the level? Would the switch be painless?

I've been using WC1.6 for all of my maps. No problem.

I you're planning to switch anyway, yes it should be painless. Export your RMFs to MAP for safety first though. 

And as for GTKRadiant - Yeah well I like the editor and I'm familiar with it but I understood that it requires some tweaking before you can make it Quake compatible.

Excuse me? GTKRadiant requires no tweaking at all to make it work with Quake. Just download, install and map away... 

The Shareware Version Of WC Has No Brush Limit.

Always did for me, huh... 

Mikko was probably referring to pre 1.5 versions that didn't support quake natively.

but what Gom says is true. the newest version of GTKR supports Q1 natively and i supposed to be quite painless an installation. 

Well then it seems that I have been reading old posts/news since I have been under the impression that GTKRadiant doesn't natively support Q and that you have to tweak it to make it support it (or convert the level into a Q map).

However I'll stick with WC for now at least with this level I'm working on right now. I have never built a level before with WC but I have with GTKRadiant so getting some experience is not a bad idea.

But anyways if the shareware WC really has a brush limit then I need the full one - so please someone tell me where to get it. And still - will the custom textures 'vanish' if I switch from shareware to registered? 

Well it seems that I've been reading old news/posts since I have been under the impression that GTKRadiant doesn't natively support Q and that you have to tweak it to make it support it.

However I'll stick with WC for now - at least with the map I'm doing now. I have previous experience with GTKRadiant but not anything serious with WC so I need the experience.

But anyways if the shareware version really has a brush limit then I really need the registered version in case someone knows where it is or can send it to me at mikko.sandt@satabaana.net.

Also I still would like to know that will the custom textures vanish if I switch from shareware to registered? My level is so far covered with IKBase textures - would I lose them during the switch?

WorldCraftFULL has been sent if you want it. 

they're just textures, after all, and not really connected to the program at all, wc just reads the textures.

you should be fine. 

What happened to your tutorials on converting Terragen worlds into skyboxes: your old site links are dead and I can't see it on your new site? 

Does anyone here have any troublesome maps? I'm particularly intersted in ones with clipping problems (terrain maps would be interesting) or ones where you have a leak, but the pointfile seems to pass straight through a solid brush. I've made some progress with qbsp, but I need some more real-world test maps.

If you're willing, please email zipped .map and .wad to:

tyrann - at - disenchant - dot - net

For the time being, I'll sniff around and see what's available for download from people's sites... 

If I remember, there's a leak in hull 1 or 2 in RPGSP1. I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing your new QBSP might fix.

AFAIK, all my other Q1 maps are pretty free of errors.

RPGSP1 source: http://rpg.spawnpoint.org/files/maps/rpgsp1source.zip 

Yup, no more leak. 8)

It's looking promising. Does anybody have a link to CZG's scraps listed here (the links all give 404s):

the original archive. (no text files) 

In Gtk 1.4, there's an option to apply "make detail" to a brush. aperently this helps to lower r_speeds. Can i apply this to a Q1 map? 

make detail is not used in Quake, but you can do other things like make it a func_wall etc, but I think you must be a bit carefull not to go overboard with the amount of them you use. Plus you should be careful, because func_wall does not block vis. (I think) But someone else who can explain it better than I will come along. But in short, No to Detail Brushes in Quake 

Thanks Necros. I'll run some test on these today. aguirRe has also done some testing now and there's a few things I'll need to follow up from there.
