Open a .bsp in GTKRadiant-1.2.13 ?
« on: October 22, 2006, 03:27:44 am »
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.

Code: [Select]

"/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.

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.
