Radiant Editor Resources and Links - Page 2

Teranite · 04-02-2002, 04:39 AM

You should wait for the official sdk because the Raven guys seem to have quite changed the BSP format. No, this is not one of those "don't do that it'll get you killed"-threads, I'll just explain:
The first four bytes of a BSP file are the so called magic code, the fifth is the version number. (Just open the map with a Hex editor)

For a normal Q3 map this looks like:
49 42 53 50 46 | IBSP Bsp version 46
But for JO:
52 42 53 50 01 | RBSP Bsp version 1

So I think something totally new has been introduced to the BSP format, otherwise changing the magic code sucks

I chose to post it in here for all those unsuccesful mappers out there.

TramDesign as listed under RTCW resources is now open for JKII Editing, mapping and the rest. We have 700 memebers in our forums and look forward to more. Although we are hosted by Planetwolfenstein, we are not a RTCW only resource but dev in all areas of game development. Our forums are not open to anon users so registration is a must, only one banner that you never have to see if you cut right to our forums.
Thanks

To the guy who said gmax is useless - I've poked around the pk3's, and saw many md3 files...what would be wrong with building your model in gmax and then converting it to md3 format?

Dax · 04-04-2002, 04:48 AM

does the Quake 3 map editor (Radiant), work for Jedi Outcast? I'd really love to make maps for it. Also, is it possable to use Gmax with JO?

Jedi-Kemp · 04-04-2002, 07:17 PM

no not untill redaint release it.

They said it should be soon.

Jedi-Kemp · 04-04-2002, 07:29 PM

Q: Hi i was woundering if JediKnight2-JediOutcast was going to be supported by Radiant as it is using the Q3 Engine Hope this can be answered soon as I am itching to make maps for JK2 thanks.

A:Nothing official at this time. It is very likely that we are going to
support JKII mapping to some extent though.

regards

TTimo

There you have it should be soon I hope

Is there a tool to convert a .bsp to a .map-file?

B0rG · 04-08-2002, 07:43 AM

A really good way to find solutions to problems you may (and will encounter with Radiant is to hit the level editing forums at www.quake3world.com and use the search function. Saved my butt several times.

B0rG · 04-08-2002, 07:46 AM

INFERNOJHC, yes there is - you'll find a link if you do a search at quake3world.com in the level editing forums as I just mentioned. However, curved brushes do not convert properly and I'm fairly certain you lose all existing texturing as well.

For those of you who dislike the lighting system in Q3, all you have to do is tweak your lighting. The lighting in the game is naturally bright, so much as to make it look realistic. It also provides eye-candy in some instances.

tag for later

[PMV] Joker · 04-14-2002, 12:23 AM

Ok, sorry if this is just really idiotic...but how are people making levels for JK2? I know you need Radiant, but has there been a build or a patch released for JK2, and if so where is it? Everything talked about in these forums or on other websites give very vague descriptions at best, and I'd like a concrete answer. I've never used radiant before since I never bought Quake III, but is there a setting somewhere in there to specify a new, unsupported game and add in it's pk3 file? Somebody help me out here.

Right, if I am going to be making Jedi Knight II maps should I install Radient into my Jedi Knight folder, rather than simlpy be using it from my RTCW folder?

lightside · 04-19-2002, 03:09 AM

Here's a concrete answer, and a solution. NO, there is no editor that is a for sure editor for JO. You CAN use QRadiant and GTK Radiant in preparation for the SDK (Software Development Kit) to port your levels to it. You can also use UGG's JOMap utility (See JK2.net's home page, at top.) to port your Q3 bsp files over to JO's code. It's still kinda buggy, but works nicely. Just for kicks, tests, and some sabering, you can use JOMap, but I recommend waiting for the tools from Raven (If they ever release 'em...) for your more 'flashy' levels.

Tigris · 04-21-2002, 02:04 PM

Just want to shortly give you a positiv reply on this topic: I started mapping after seeing JK2 and reading this tutorial.
I hadn't mapped since early unreal days and even there my experience was very limited. With the help of Bubbas Tutorials and GTKRadiant I have mapped now for the past 2 weeks and I think my results are ok.
So if I can do it almost everyone can do as good. I don't know everything but I think I know enough to build the images I have in mind.

Just wanted to let you know

The best link I've found so far is

http://www.planetwolfenstein.com/surface/

Everything is pretty concise and the author makes it all pretty easy to understand.

dnalor · 04-25-2002, 04:29 AM

Hi Force users,

Does anybody know from what site I can dowload document of JKIIRadiant. I haven't used it before. I would be happy with any help.

Chewie Bakker · 04-25-2002, 05:45 AM

Yeah, I'm new at this too. I downloaded the Toolkit a couple of days ago and used one of the tutorials to build 2 rooms, but I don't think I've done it correctly and the BSP part kills me with Windows popping up about 20 errors on me.

Learning the basics is a definite must.

VE_Corran · 04-25-2002, 07:00 PM

How can I compile JKRadiant maps so I can run them in JK2?

I really can't work it out.

Please help.

lukslo · 04-30-2002, 03:54 AM

SAMURAI CLeaTUS · 05-27-2002, 11:26 PM

Voyager209 · 05-28-2002, 07:27 AM

How do I edit pk3 files? What utility do I use?

Divine shadow · 06-16-2002, 11:16 AM

Wow that you very much this has helped me alot. Since I am a newbi when it comes to to mapping this is going to help me alot.

ZBomber · 08-05-2002, 02:57 AM

Thanks for putting this up!

Erliko · 08-18-2002, 08:59 AM

I just want a simple pk3 creator/editor but i cant find it!
I lost mine when a virus ate my HD but now i cant find ant no more! Can someone gimme url where to download one?

Azymn · 08-27-2002, 05:06 PM

*.pk3 files are just *.zip files renamed, so if you grab any zip program and rename your *.pk3 file to *.zip you can open them, or better yet, tell your zip program that it can open all *.pk3 files.

Does that answer your question?

Drepanon · 11-13-2002, 11:19 AM

pakscape is a great and fast way to View / Edit / Save pk3 files

Thank you for giving me a share in your great hompage.

Where should I go to get a tutorial for level making, custom skins, and mods? Also, what tools do I need, and can I download them off the internet without spending money?

Thanks!
