Do I have to create any of those folders in the Tools folder like it says in the "mapping without Quake" thread?

Ahh-- I really want this to work...

DO NOT USE THE WITHOUT QUAKE THREAD!

the directions I just gave followed by the tutorial should create a working map file.

atop that The original Q3Radiant didnt have a copy command so where ever you saved the map, the .bsp should go or some times it would be created as a junk file and thrown away due to improper placement

your .map file should be in c:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\maps\

if you have further problems I'll talk to you on msn, BUT YOU MUST ARRANGE A MEETING, Im no longer on as often as usualy because of a new job and I'm working on a new portfolio

Gotcha, I actually do get a file back, a .bak, where ever my .map file was(on my desktop).

I updated my post

Cool-- I PMed you for your MSN.

I've managed to get BSP now, but when I try it on my PSP it loads everything, then says Click start to begin, but then my PSP hangs. I tried 3 different BSP,two I created and the iris_example_final(converted from .map to .bsp.

Another interesting thing... All my map's names are lowercase on my computer, but caps on my PSP..

Zeemon try downloading a demo of Quake 3 arena, then install it, then there should be a folder called demoq3 go into that and copy the pak0.pk3 and q3config.cfg into the Q3Radiants baseq3 file and it should work.

I have no PMs FYI... I dont know what you did, and I dont "give out" my msn info you have to give me yours and a time you will be on.

talk about negitive this guy jman 420 will get you all flamed up if you know how gr8 produkt really is!

Could you help me out?

Set up your post in a more formal setting or use paragraphs a little more often, It helps your post to be easyer to read. As for the rest, Thanks for the comment, I'm always glad to help

I'll be in NY in manhattan if you ever hit the area (may 5,6,7th) PM me with a cell number and maybe we can talk.

Alrighty then!

Well I'm heading up to NY tomarrow, and I'm bringing my laptop, which has a nice collection of new Iris maps I've also got 2x32mb memorysticks with the latest alpha of Iris on it for both 2.0+ and 1.5

You wont get to keep it, but if you PM me with a cell number you can try it out first hand.

Any way I've got alot of texturing work to do. and the sample maps are last in my line of things to do!

next week I'll be showing off screenshots of my LoZ:OOT based levels aswell as a screenshot from the latest version of Iris running the flagship map "Mars Outpost"

Question for you Produkt, cant i just use the the program mentioning earlier to convert my .maps from halo to .bsp maps for iris? would this work?

No

that is another format.

Halo maps were created inside of a modeling program where as Quake 3 maps are a cad based idea.

ok so its down to cloning the maps, ill give it a go for evveryone and pspmonkey (my current idle), give it 3 weeks to get used to the program and another 2 wekks per map. someone will probably beat me, ow well ill keep trying.

hey produkt need a little help here,
when ever i open up GtkRadiant-1.4.0 my view is different then what is shown on yours.
I was wondering how i would make it like your view where it shows me the map and the different axises

Edit---->Preferences--->Layout (option 4).

thanks sniper

ok i think ive got the hang of square tiles and the complete begginer stuff; my next question if how to you do basic ramps ( like a square cut into a triangle)?

thats what i was wondering too

Well... If I understand what you're meaning then...

You can either drag the Vert. by clicking 'V' Then draging, or you can selection something then go to "Selection" and Flip or Rotate on the X, Y, or Z.

never mind I got it, i was looking for clipper.

webboy make your ramp the size you want with a cube and then use the clipper tool to cut it in the shape you want.

does anyone know how to make spawn points.

wow, that looks good!!!

For spawn points:

Right click the z window and goto info --->info_player_deathmatch

For spawn points you find your location in the 2d view and right click, from there go down to Info > Info_Player_start

and that will create your basic spawn point.


if you want to make a triangle you should create your brush then go up to the task bar and look for the word "Brush" click 3 sided (you may have to rotate/flip it) then vertex the little bugger till you like it.

cheers everyone; produkt i should have my first test maps done and converted within the next 4 hours; would anyone like a copy to test/use?

Could u build ramps on this one and does this work for the new maps for iris v 0.2

yes u can build ramps on this one, i did mine a differnet wat to the one mentioned i used the free posistion button and slanted a slab at a 45* angle then put it in place, and all these maps can be used with 2.0 iris (ones with multi levels cant be used on iris 1.0.

ok thanks for telling me. because im working on halo maps for the new iris i already have a couple characters almost done

nice, tell me if you want help with anything (trying to get my name on atleast one homebrew app or game,lol). im still experimenting with creating maps but i will add the one i made just now here in about 20 mins; its bacisally a bunch or rectangular rooms on two level with 4 ramps, i know not too exciting but only used the program for a totla of 4 hours so far.

I should have a map up by tonight and I think you guys will like it!

*MOD EDIT* Do not request illegal files. secondly... thats a huge file, no one is going to send you a gig worth of data through aim...

big mace you done that maps yet, is so u think i coudl have a look just for fun,

btw my map screwed up bad, the character enters the maps but the textures buggers up by fuzzing around and stuff.

****EDIT**** oops, found your maps bigmace, ill test and play it and give you my feedback in the correct the maps forum.

Quick question... does Iris support Curve->Cylinders?

Because I can't seem to get them to work.

no it doesnt
