also, HeadThump, what browser are you using? there should be a small nav section in the topright corner.
I use only Worldcraft for Q1 and GTKRadiant for Q3. So much simpler to not use converters.
I'll use Radiant for everything when it supports Q1 'out of the box'. actually it's much more effective than WC. just try learning its basics and you'll see the light :)
i cannot map in wc after i switched to radiant. fyi, i made my first map (kaos) for one week. during that week i learned radiant and made the map. The MapConv utility is pretty simple. Just put it in a file along with a dos prompt and your Quake
That assumes that you have Dos available, of course. You don't have to use the Converter to get the Quake I
fyi, i made my first map (kaos) for one week. during that week i learned radiant and made the map.
yes, but what you're forgetting Vondur is, YOU R4WK!!11!! fucker It's not that it's hard to do that stops me, it's just that fact that I'd rather not have to do anything special to get it to all work. Call me lazy, but I'd rather just work in multiple editors for now.
Can anyone help me: I'm finishing Q1SP map where I use sock_eg wad and need some rock textures and skybox to fit the theme (egypt). I have some custom textures of rocks but they don't fit the map good IMHO so I used ID original rock textures temporary and now it's time change them

It's easy, simple, and has a very nice entity/brush list that I can't survive without. One of the major reasons I've never converted to another editor is, the ones people keep suggesting have no entity/brush list. I depend on that do find my brushes at least half the time. I do not enjoy playing the "let's find the obscure brush lost in the jungle that I was just working with not 2 seconds ago" every time I want to edit a brush that's not immediately accessible in my current view or zoom. And I'm not heavy enough into mapping to go learning everything all over again. :) I already have 2 skyboxes in a desert theme and I can also make one specifically for you. Could probably do a rock texture too.
Lemme check Sock's egyptian textures, possibly show me a screenie or whatever, and we'll talk. Does Quark have a spawnflag explanation/selection in its entity list? I encountered an odd one for the Hellknight that I had never seen before, and it did not seem to be listed in the
It usually explains the spawnflags pretty well. If you hover the mouse over (or click) the ? button above the entity list, that should help.
What's the spawnflag that's giving you trouble? I might be able to explain it. I decided it was worth downloading (the 4. x) version, and figured out what happened on the source map (one of the 100 Brush contest maps); it was a miscalculation - perhaps from calculating in Death Match, I suspect.
Between using the 3d view window and a number of commands that let you select the depth of the brush you're selecting I find grabbing brushes to be a snap in radiant. I don't know how brushes are IDed in a brush list but I'd hate to have to remember numbers corresponding to brushes.
My map isn't lit yet. But that's ok I may e-mail you a screenshot.
But I use completely sock_eg wad (without any other textures) Probably so. I just like having brush groups and such listed just like vector paths and layers in illustraitor/photoshop.
Whenever i compile the map i'm working on, it says there is a leak at a light. The map compiled fine until i added in the most recent 6 light entities. I thought that maybe if i deleted those light entities the map would compile fine. However, when i compiled after deleting the new light entities, the leak was pinpointed at lights that had been working perfectly fine before. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
