Can I compile Quake2 maps with q3map2?

(Moth) #1

Like the topic asks, can I compile maps for Quake 2 with q3map2 or must I stick with the slow q2map that comes with Radiant 1.4 classic?

Alternatively, is there a way to decrease the compile time of the light phase (RAD) for the quake2 map compile?
