Map creation?

Post by pepetsu »

I was wondering that if i could make my own maps to Transfusion. Is there any tools for that?
I know that it would be possible with Worldcraft or similar Quake level editor, but then there would be no change (or would there?) to create any pickable objects such as weapons.
And Build level editor wouldn't help neither...

There is the Transfusion SDK, but that's kind of old. Predator is working on an updated version for GTKRadiant which you will beable to make maps for in the Q3BSP format, this will allow for crouching. Hopefully, he will comment further about it.

I think it was worth downloading, but still one question: Is there any change of making monsters to work? I have tried to use that

maxplayers 1
map <mymap>

thing, but it seems to have no results.

Actually our SDK is ready for release - it consists of GtkRadiant, entity definition file, some config files and texture/shader packs. Plus a short manual. It's up to Luke to release it, I think he wants the SDK to be released with beta4, which is a good idea.

The new beta version should rox.

I think there is a lot of stuff to do before it gets released...
Maybe beta 3.5? =P it would be cool, with the new map editor =P

rox is actually [infinitive?] as in "that sh*th rocks". If you wanna be a dbag and say r0X0rz, then hey, whatever does it for you. :)

Probably, if you can save it as a DXF or a DWG file. I'm sure Luke could make sure it's sized correctly and convert it to a md3.

Click here for a short setup manual. You'll need some additional files of course but I have to update them first.
Check back tomorrow - I'll post links to the proper version of Radiant and other files you will need.
