Mapping Help
This is the place to ask about mapping problems, techniques, and bug fixing, and pretty much anything else you want to do in the level editor.

For questions about coding, check out the Coding Help thread: https://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60097

I Would Recommend Checking Out 
Proxy's Extra's QC; it adds a number of useful functions without much overhead -- a room like that may need a switch that rotates with the room! 
You Mean... 
Pox's extras?

Wad File Gfx.wad Doesn't Have WAD3 Id 
WHAT DO I DO? : Wad file gfx.wad doesn't have WAD3 id 
Troy: 
sounds like you're trying to load the quake gfx.wad into half-life, or something like that. 
Crash 
missing frame0 of +1basebtn

what's wrong, I loaded the right wad-file before compiling.
another one:

ED_ParceEntity: closing brace without data.

1) AFAIK animation frames begin with 0; make sure you're referencing the first one and that all frames are in the wad. Qbsp will fix the rest.

2) Either the entity section is corrupt or you're using an engine that can't handle .cfg/.rc files that are not properly terminated with CRLF. QuArK often generates such files. You could try using this updated DataQ1.qrk file: http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k/DataQ1.zip .

It's for QuArK 6.3 and later, I don't know if it works for earlier versions. There are also numerous improvements for Q1 entities. 
Allright... 
I am using old compilers versions with new ones to gain my profit out of the maps I recompiled.
Some turn out right, others give the strangest errors I could forsee.
But thanks for your advice. 
Wad File Gfx.wad Doesn't Have WAD3 Id

Ask these and other level design questions and hopefully have them answered.

What the hell does that problem have to do with level design?

If you must ask, ask in General Abuse. 
Zer FGD Again. 
The file is zer.fgd.x, but it in explorer it is recognized as zer.fgd, an x file. It isn't recognized in my computer ( or worldcraft, for that matter) as an fgd file, and I don't know how to change this association.
Sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass, but I just can't get it.

thanks again 
... 
I also tried opening it with text editor and saving the file as zer.fgd. Although this is the name of the file, it is now considered a txt file. If I'm being a dumbass, please take it easy on me. thanks 
You'll Have To 
type the filename within quotation marks, i.e. "zer.fgd" when saving in NotePad. 
Akk 
You must turn off "Hide extensions for known file types" in Windows Explorer's Tools->Folder Options menu if you want to play with the big boys. 
Renaming Files 
One can also select the file and hit f2 (shortcut for rename in windows) and retype it a nice name like zer.fgd. 
Mapping For Q1 In Radiant 
hey can you use radiant to map for quake 1, as the new engines now support q3 maps i was wondering if it possible to make a map in radiant for quake 1, to get all the nice textures and that. cheers

Method 
GTKRadiant 1.5 support Quake 1 natively.

Radiant: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/files/radiant/nightly/1.5/GtkRadiant-1.5.0-2005-08-31.msi
Docs: http://zerowing.idsoftware.com/files/radiant/docs/1.5/

Put your texture WADs into /Quake/ID1 so that Radiant can see them. 
 
thanks jago, will i be able to use hi-res textures in my map or is it just the old ones in wads? 
You Can Compile What You Want 
into the .bsp; however, there is really no need to put the high rez textures directly into the map. Custom engines that handle hi-rez read them automatically from an external folder. 
 
yeah thats cool, i was talking about hi-res textures that arent remakes of the q1 ones, like from the evil 6 texture pack for q3 is this what u mean?

if this is what u ment then how would u go about setting up the folders in he quake dir.

cheers again. 
I Think 
for that you would need to first make a wadfile and convert all the textures you want to use down to 256 colour and shrink them by half. you use those to texture the map in the editor, but then you use the original textures in the external folder and they'll be replaced in-game at the proper size. 
Cheers 
I thought that myself but wanted to check if there was any other way, hopefully it will be implemented into some level editors soon :-)

anyways i'll give it a go and see what i can do with it. 
Q1 Tools Update 
at http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k . All engines are updated with several features/fixes, e.g. autobright handling of selected models, eliminated cache meshes and improved flame animations. Tx/TreeQBSP and ConvDem has minor additions and Q1 ToolTips has been expanded with a new QuakeC section. Please also see readmes for details.

Any comments are welcome.
