Func_Msgboard: Quake Level Design Starter Kit

Posted by EnYB0La on 2018/10/05 16:16:05

Months ago, dumptruck_ds published a Quickstart tutorial to create a basic files and directory structure, including few tools, in order to make maps for Quake, Quake 2 or Hexen 2.

So, I managed to publish to GitHub a "Ready-to-Use" Starter Kit based on this idea. You can clone it or download a ZIP release.

It features Quakespasm 0.93.1, TrenchBroom 2.0.6, ericw-tools 0.18.1, ne_q1spCompilingGui 1.0.3 and id/hipnotic/rogue/ctf4 textures.

Check it out!

Brilliant!

How about packaging Visual C on top of the rest? That's where most mappers get stuck imo. I got stuck there, and we just recently had somebody in mapping help who had just the same problem.

Really good point. @EnYBOLa can you add those?

There might be legal issues, though. Otherwise I can't think why not.

Legal issues to redistributing a free product for free?

Are you talking about Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable? What version? In this case, I prefer to update the README.md file to indicate that it is required and to give a link to download it.

Okay, so for Trenchbroom you need the 2015 version, and for the compiling tools you need the 2013 version.

Also OBJ2MAP is a good idea too for the quake-tools folder: https://web.archive.org/web/20170611005215/https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/161473/OBJ2MAP/OBJ2MAP_Release.zip

...except my tuts have NOTHING to do with making models. Not sure that's something that should be added to this particular repo.

He has a few other unrelated but helpful utils so I figured why no?
