final bsp editor question

hi there,

i searched the forum about this topic adn the one question remains:

is there any way to create a irrlicht-compatible .bsp file without the need of buying quake3?

thanks,
corban

Hi

it works for me, I use GtkRadiant 1.2.12 under Linux.
This is how I did it:
Install to default dir /usr/local/games (finish installation with EXIT, not PLAY), this creates 3 new subdirs (GtkRadiant, quake3, wolfenstein)
Create in /usr/local/games/quake3/ a textfile and name it "quake" (It is just a dummy)
In .../quake3/baseq3/ unpack the "common-spog.pk3" file (GtkRadiant looks in .../quake3/baseq3/textures/radiant/ for 2 files: notex.tga and shadernotex.tga)
Start radiant and change the "Select game" to Arena
Select the engine path: /usr/local/games/quake3/quake (the textfile you created before)
At this point I am able to start. I'm still getting some warnings about missing shaders or textures but this is not a real problem, just copy the textures you want to use to the right place (textures/subdirs)

I found some info on http://industri.sourceforge.net/howto.php (mainly for Windows)

thanks, u saved my day. although i prefer hammer or worldcraft (maybe i find a converter for the .map files) i can continue using irrlicht (although i love mesh modelling, it is not the technique do design levels from my pov).

is there a trick to compile maps with leaks (to use the irrlich skybox)? even when i untoggle "stop on leak" the compiler stops.

Have you tried it with untextured Polys?
Don't know if that works...

You have to untag the "Enable BSP monitoring" as well, this works for me. But under Linux/OpenGL I have stretched textures wenn I use a skybox. I think this is a known problem, I use Irr 0.4
