So yeah, I figured out how to use it, but I can't compile my map with it. What do I need to do to? 

That was me, I had a brainfart, sorry. 

Run your qbsp, vis and light from a command prompt.

Make dir on c: called "mymap"

Save your .map file there

Put all your tools (TxQbsp.exe, WVis,exe and Light.exe) in the dir.

Load a command prompt (in windows click start, then type in the "run" or "search" bar:

cmd

Press enter.

Command Prompt appears! :)


type:

cd c:\mymap

then type:

txqbsp yourMapName

then type (eg):

vis -fast yourMapName

then type (eg):

light -extra4 yourMapName

Your compiled map would now be in the c:\mymap\ DIR.

Light (Bengt Yardrup version, modified by MH):

The build menu is customizable, but I never bothered with it for Q1. Just do it the oldschool way by opening a command prompt and run the compile tools manually. This way it's also easier to catch warnings and error messages.

And remember to add the texture wad path to the map's worldspawn entity.

Which version are you using anyway? 

 

I'm using 1.5.0, since that's the latest version. 

I recommend getting the latest nightly build (2007-04-26) from the SVN then, in case you only took the installer.

And check out the key shortcuts in the manual. They will make your life A LOT easier. 

I did. They do make things easier. It's still not as simple to use as QuArK, but on the other hand, it doesn't habitually corrupt a brush every 20 minutes or so. So all in all, it's a good trade-off. 

It's pretty much just a version of gtkradiant, except that it's actually still being updated.

Thanks for that :) 

It's "Jardrup" dammit. Stop raping a good Danish name. 

Like that Tom Green song... 

sorry 

I hate if English-speaking people misspell foreign words with e and i according to their pronounciation, e.g. Weiner or Einstien. Fucking jerks. You hear that, Ritschert????? 

jumped up european prick, you think I give a fuck if my english isn't good enough for people who havent got anything better to do than take the piss from people who speak the language natively? Atleast my name is pronouncable, Neg-ke? 

We shall settle this with a deadly exchange of platitudes in the High Brow thread!!!!
Or maybe not - we might both lose. 

 

I cant be bothered. But still, what's wrong with Weiner and Einstein? Is that not how you spell those words? 

Wiener is spelled like <---.
