You need not really bother with q3map2toolz other than its mapacker but q3map2 is essential and common.

sSopris · « **Reply #61 on:** June 03, 2007, 03:19:01 pm »

Ok, just to clarify: I would put the q3map2 file in C:/Program Files/Tremulous/radiant-1.4 right?

(I use 1.4)

i dont see why you need to get the newest version, only if the one you have doesnt work for you.

sSopris · « **Reply #63 on:** June 03, 2007, 06:19:57 pm »

Umm, what do you mean? The newest version of Radiant?

My problem is that I don't know where to put the q3map2

EDIT: It looks like its a stand alone program but whenever I try to run it I get a little black window that looks like command prompt and then closes after 5 seconds.

Survivor · « **Reply #64 on:** June 03, 2007, 10:52:18 pm »

It is standalone but needs either to be started with switches defined by -switchname value in a cmd prompt or the run window or with a gui frontend like q3map2toolz or q3build. Of these two it is experienced that q3build is the easier one while q3map2toolz has some mappacking features that add to it.

sSopris · « **Reply #65 on:** June 04, 2007, 06:15:43 am »

Hmmm. When I run Q3map2Build the maps don't show up in the list. My maps are in C:/Program Files/Tremulous/base/<.map files> but they're still not showing up. All the correct paths have been given in Directory Options as well.

Also, when I downloaded the VB6 Runtimes from here and ran it, it asked if I wanted to install them. I clicked yes and a window popped up with a progress bar. The progress bar filled up very quickly, disappeared and that was that. I assume this means it installed them but maybe you guys think otherwise?

(Btw, I really do appreciate your guys' help)

EDIT:

Ok, basically my maps just won't show up, any ideas?

sSopris · « **Reply #66 on:** June 06, 2007, 03:34:21 am »

Lets try this again. I have downloaded q3map2 and q3map2build. I'm pretty dang sure I've installed them correctly. However, *.map files are not showing up in q3map2build. Any ideas?

(I'm putting my *.map files in C:/Program Files/Tremulous/base/)

maybe you should split this convo into a troubleshotty thread

thunderdraco · « **Reply #68 on:** August 01, 2007, 03:52:43 pm »

sounds like a plan.

Anyway I have the same problem floodbud had months ago which i dont know why many people dont have the same problem. :\ Let me quote him.

Quote

Ive been working on this for about 3 hours over the past 2 days and it still wont pull up Tremulous in the drop menu

Thats my problem. I did everything it said for the setup of radiant 1.5 but it still wont show tremulous in the drop menu. Can u maybe give me a checklist of all the actions i was supposed to do? I'm pretty sure i did everything. But yeah....

lol armory

Check:

enginepath_win32="<path to Tremulous>/"                                                <----Check the filepath is correct to your PC.

Check you have customized the .game file, and not just copy pasted blindly (se above for what to personalize.

This is what I did (or didnt) do, I feel pretty dumb about it even now.

thunderdraco · « **Reply #70 on:** August 01, 2007, 06:53:38 pm »

I checked. I already did that, and it is indeed the correct path... I dont know whats wrong.

lol mara

trem.game is in wrong location

thunderdraco · « **Reply #74 on:** August 04, 2007, 03:44:16 pm »

Thorn · « **Reply #75 on:** August 04, 2007, 04:06:49 pm »

That isn't that helpful, please explain your problem, if you have no idea what to do read: TFM

If it is something more specific, like "why don't I have any textures?" please say that.

Green Dragon · « **Reply #84 on:** October 16, 2007, 03:06:40 am »

there is no "create a map" button in tremulous, you must be doing something wierd. You make maps with GTKRadiant.

On trem I think you click create server which is somwthing completely different. No point in double posting and this should be a seperate topic.

Green Dragon · « **Reply #88 on:** October 16, 2007, 10:23:41 pm »

i want to creat server but i can't. a Tremulous cosole pops up and i don't know what to do.

St.ElseWhere · « **Reply #89 on:** April 14, 2009, 12:15:05 am »

Argh! i just cant freaking figure out why only the turret appears and all the buildings just show up as freaking boxes... And, the turret is only partially texurised. Is texurised a word? Also is it normal for the textures to "blurr" (best way to decribe) when using the clipper, and several others tools? Meh... also where do i download textures. Any help would be appreciated!
