BSP Menu

(Ted) #1

In the GTKRadian manual (Map Building Basics) under Compile It, it says, “In the BSP menu, select bsp_fastvis”.
There is no bsp_fastvis item in my BSP menu. I have things like Q3Map2: (single) -meta, Q3Map2: (single) -vis, etc.

What should I use for a simple compile operation.

Also, is there a simple way to switch between the game and the editor. When I wish to view my work in the game I cannot then switch back to the editor without closing down the game. ALT ESC does not deselect the game window to allow me to open the editor window.

Thanks for your help.

Run the game in windowed mode (not fullscreen).

Note, running the game at the same time as GtkRadiant and/or compiling will result in poor editor/compiling performance.

The best way to start up ET to test a map is via the Run… command:

C:\games\wolfet\wolfet.exe +set r_fullscreen 0 +set sv_pure 0 +devmap yourmap

Replace the paths as necessary for your installation, and the Run command’s history will keep you from having to retype too much.

Or to elaborate on ‘Ydnar’s’ version, create a desktop shortcut with exactly the same information, then just double click.

Thanks Ydnar and Valhue2. That was very helpful.
