Hi all!

I have spend some time playing, so now I want to create a nice map.
I'm learning to use radiant, with linux. I have radiant working nicely, by follow how to's at forum, but now I can't advance.

I have a simple map, a room, with alien and human starting points and info entities, but at menu bsp I have nothing. So I can't compile map and play it.

I don't know exactly what I am doing wrong. Could you help me?

The point I can't advance is here: http://www.leveldk.co.uk/tut2.htm
See the last figure. I can't do:  " Now to compile, go to bsp and select Q3Map2(test) BSP –meta –vis –light –fast –filter."

I have Tremulous but I didn't have Q3. Is it necessary?

Thanks

DarkRogue

there's been other posts about this already you can either:

a) Search for the posts, cut/copy the information into the specified file to get that menu working

or

b) get the 3rd party build program (tons better in my opinion), also located in posts in this forum

ok, but I did post!!

the problem is that I can't use "bsp" menu. It's empty, with no options.


I have searched but I will do again to find the 3rd party build program, I don't know nothing about.

Sorry, is just this:

http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1328

at this point:

"To compile your map you'll have to either configure your GTKRadiant BSP menu (a guide for this is pending), use a frontend, or compile by command line. If you're on windows, you can use the Q3Map2Build frontend, I made a quick guide here. "

This is not at guide, so this is the reason I have nothing. I am not at windows, so I think I'll have to use console.

thanks to all :D

Go to your Barnes and Noble or whatever book store, and buy Quake 4 modding for dummies. I know it is newer than Q3, and some tricks wont work, but it has the BEST radiant tutorials EVER! It answers all kinds of questions.

∧OMG ENTROPY∧

Look inside the quake3 file where the bsp stuff is. Copy and paste it all into your tremulous one. Reload radiant. That should be it. :)
