Quake 2 level editing resources
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2007 8:16 pm
I kind of missed mapping for Quake II and recently decided to make a map for q2, just for the fun of it.
Searched google a bit but didn't find a nice Quake 2 mapping community. Does anyone in here know one, or all they all gone? A site with good mapping tutorials for Quake 2 would also do it, but I'd prefer a forum like this one. (As I already know the Radiant editor and it has q2 support, I'd like to use it for making the map. So Radiant-based stuff would be great.)
Please note that I'm not asking you to use Google for me, I'm asking the guys in here who know a special place they like for a recommendation.
And a last thing: I already did some q2 stuff during the last few days in radiant, but my radiant version (1.5, linux) crashes whenever I try to build it, so I'll have to write a shellscript to compile the map. Does anyone know a cpmplete q3map2 command line? My attempts were not succesfull so far. There was strange q3map2 output (see below for cmdline and output), but no bsp file was written.
There is no error message, (unless that rabbit thingie is the error message) so I don't know what to do.
Just to be sure: q3map2 has q2 support, hasn't it? At least radiant has some pre-build q3map2 commands in the "build"-menu one can choose from and I read about it somewhere recently (manual, wikibook I don't remember).
