Help with Q3map2GUI

[Jacques]

All right. MacRadiant distorts/shrinks my textures. They look fine in the .map, but are messed up in the .bsp. So, I did some research and found that i needed to add "-fs_game base" into the compiler. However, I was compiling with the BSP maker build into Radiant.

So, I went out and downloaded Q3Map2GUI for Mac. I found an option to add "-fs_game base" into the compile sequence. However, the textures still stay the same. I think this is because Q3Map2GUI thinks I'm running Quake 3. Here is an excerpt from the log-

VFS Init: /Users/User/.q3a/baseq3/
VFS Init: Path/baseq3/

--- BSP ---
-bsp argument unnecessary
Creating meta surfaces from brush faces

WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/karith/e8beam01b

I think the first two lines are the problem. How do I set up Q3Map2 (for mac) to work with Tremulous? In the "Choose a game" section, there are no games.

It looks like he solved his problem by upgrading to 1.5. I would like to fix my problem without updating.

[epsy]

then keep your problem for yourself

[Jacques]

To my knowledge, there is no Intel version of MacRadiant 1.5

Then you might wanna try "Virtualbox". It is the most convenient virtual machine environment I have yet encountered for the use on desktop systems:

I've partitioned my drive and plan to install Vista on the other part soon, but I would really prefer to map on the Mac side. Is it possible to solve this problem without 1.5/Windows?

[Bomb]

You can run MacRadiant 1.5 on an Intel Mac, but it'll be really slow.

[Jacques]

The only version of 1.5 for Mac I can find doesn't work for me. Is it possible to solve this problem on a Mac with 1.4?

[Bomb]

I've managed to install 1.4 just fine, but your mileage may vary.

[Jacques]

My 1.4 works fine. I just want to know how to add "-fs_game base" to the compile process so my textures turn out right.

My brother had this problem too.  As a work-around, I created a pair of command-line scripts to compile maps properly.  The big problem with this method is that it is harder to edit compiler flags.

in the main window click the "Main" button, check -fs_game and insert the path to your tremulous folder

why is it slow?

[Syntac]

It has to go through Rosetta, which is what allows Intel Macs to run PowerPC apps. As you might imagine, this slows things down a bit.

[Archangel]

I'm not sure why 1.5 wouldn't compile on an x86 processor, but WOULD on a ppc. Is it just due to somebody NOT having the time to compile it?

[Syntac]

I don't think anyone's bothered to compile it yet.

[Archangel]

Why don't you? :] Radiant was relatively easy to compile on linux. Just checkout the source, configure it, and make it. (afaik it uses SCons? )

[Syntac]

Hmm, good idea.
