Title: complete beginner Post by: ArleNadja on June 02, 2008, 10:28:20 PM I want to know more about making maps for OA
I know absolutely nothing, only experience doing anything like it was build on duke3d What websites have relevant information, what programs do I use, where to get started learning what I need to know? Title: Re: complete beginner Post by: Taiyo.uk on June 03, 2008, 02:55:33 AM The application used for making OA maps is called GtkRadiant. You can download it from the official site: http://www.qeradiant.com/
This is a general mapping tool for the quake games and their derivatives. There are threads in this forum that explain how to configure radiant for OA. Bubba's tutorials is a good place to start: http://bubba.planetquake.gamespy.com/tutorial.html Title: Re: complete beginner Post by: pulchr on June 03, 2008, 03:01:06 AM hello and welcome!
mapping for oa is more or less the same as mapping for quake 3 - which gives you a lot of tutorials all over the interweb! there might be other mapping tools out there, but most of us use gtkradiant 1.5.0 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GtkRadiant) openarena is not supported in gtkradiant from the beginning - you have to copy and edit some files first. here's a short guide on steps to take: DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Configure_GTK_under_windows]configure gtk under windows (http://([b) here's a wikibook for gtkradiant that i found now when i wrote this reply: gtkradiant - wikibook (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GtkRadiant) good luck :) Title: Re: complete beginner Post by: sago007 on June 03, 2008, 05:46:46 AM The files required to get Radiant 1.5 or Quark to use in Open Arena is in the svn.
The radiant files are here: http://brie.ostenfeld.dk/~poul19/public_files/radiant1_5_openarena.zip but you will still need to change oa.game if you want GtkRadiant to automatically launch the game for you.
