How do you compile your map?

(Igloo) #1

Hello,

Can you “quote” the q3map2 compling code of your map? Other people using for ex. Q3Map2Toolz will be able to make it better, as it is hard a bit on the beginning (I haven’t ever care about nice compile, only the default options…). Hope you want to share it :slight_smile:

Thanks :fiesta:

For a final

For beta

And I’ll adjust the gamma for the map.

Get Q3map2build by bobdev. I posted the link and a link to a good tutorial on this forum.
Using the batch-files just gets plain redundant when you use Q3map2build, its a lot more comfortable.

Do NEVER use a gamma for your map, that s a suck approach (sry Der’Saidin). If you want basic lighting use the ambient and _color keys in worldspawn.

As for test compiles: do as simple as u can do, no fancy switches, they just take time u dont need to spend.

Especially the -vis stage… “PassagePortalFlow”… it is counting very slowly, but I’m patient :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm your commands are useful. Then I can see what results the map has and how it was reached -> as on the popular maps I’ve played. I will search for tutorials, but info about “what gives -nohint, etc.” didn’t really help me. I have no clue if mappers use it or something :frowning:

Thanks anyway.
