Mapmaking

by Krein • 14 Sep 2009, 01:59 • Journals
I was wondering what programs do I need to make a map :) I found the tutorial but its kinda outdated I guess (8th July 2008). I have a lot of free time to waste on some pointless activity so I thought I'll contribute my mapmaking talent to this fucked up community. That's why I'd appreciate if any mapmaker (or anybody who knows something about it) can walk me through the process etc :) Just random hints, I'll get the rest on my own (sooner or later xd).

EDIT: Links people, links ;)

The very basic tools are gtkradiant, q3map2 and some random gfx app...

Id recommend to install both, the 1.4 and 1.5 of gtk... 1.5 is complely rewritten in another coding language and thus doesnt include lots of features and plugins which are included in 1.4.x...

DL:
http://cl4ym4n.de/home/downloads/GtkRadiantSetup-1.4.0-Q3RTCWET.exe
http://cl4ym4n.de/home/downloads/GtkRadiant-1.5.0.msi

Also, EasyGen for creating terrains:

This should be enough at first to get used to all the shizzle... just google for some tutorials on how to set radiant+et up (!!!!) because this is already the first thing that can go wrong and fuck everything up.
