Is it possible to open or access a *.bsp file in the editor of GTKRadiant-1.2.13? Sorry, this is my third topic on Mapping Forum, I hope I'm not too much of a nuisance :)
They need to be .map files.
I think...
GtkRadiant can not open the .bsp, but you can use q3map2 to convert an existing .bsp to a .map file.
"/opt/gtkradiant/q3map2.x86" -convert -v -game tremulous -fs_basepath "/opt/games/tremulous/" -fs_game base -format map thebspmap.bsp
This command will convert thebspmap.map into thebspmap_converted.map, which can be opened in GtkRadiant.
You could use this to figure out how a map author created certain effects, put please do not use this for blatant copy-pasting. Keep in mind that the result will not have any light entitities.
The snippit is a linux command line and you'll have to edit it to use it on windows (or your particular linux installation, for that matter). Tested with GtkRadiant 1.5 and q3map2 2.5.16.
Okay...found that program, how do I enter that code?
By editing the shortcut path/target.
So I create a shortcut to "q3map2build.exe", then copy/paste that code into the Target part of the Properties window, then edit the code to go to where I have Tremulous installed? Okayyy...
EDIT:
Okay, did that, now what? No changes as far as I can see. Help?
It should have came up with a shell for a few secs then dissapeard. Check the folder where you told it to convert. Look for a MAP_CONVERTED.MAP.
Okay, tried that, no results. Is it because I'm using "Q3Map2Build by DLB"? Is this a different program than q3map2? If so, then where can I find the right program? Sorry about all this, once again I hope I'm not a nuisance to you expert mappers... :oops:
I have no clue what DLB is. Just look for something like q3map2.exe. I use 1.4 but Surv told me to goto some version like that so ill have a look.
Oh , and im not an expert mapper.
