I just figured I’d throw together a quick Bash script for q3map. A couple of notes on the variables up top that you have to declare, some people will want to use /usr/local/games/enemy-territory/ instead of the home directory, I’m not sure if it matters, just as long as you have the correct permissions set – if that fails, try the home dir.
If you don’t want to specify the map when calling this script, just go ahead and change the script to something like this:
#!/bin/bash
# Set locations here
q3map_path=/usr/local/bin/q3map2 # q3map2 file location
et_path=/home/dir/.etwolf/etmain/ # Enemy Territory installation location
map_location=/home/dir/.etwolf/etmain/maps/mapfile.map # Path to map file
# The map_location variable is now the static path to your map file
$q3map_path -v -meta -fs_basepath $et_path -game et $map_location
$q3map_path -vis -saveprt -fs_basepath $et_path -game et $map_location
$q3map_path -light -fast -samples 2 -patchshadows -fs_basepath $et_path -game et $map_location
$q3map_path -meta -patchmeta -fs_basepath $et_path -game et $map_location
$q3map_path -convert ase -fs_basepath $et_path -game et $map_location
Put either of the above scripts in the directory of your choosing, we will assume the home directory with the filename q3map_batch.sh and run it with something similar to below:
Script #1
sh ~/q3map_batch.sh MyMap
Script #2
sh ~/q3map_batch.sh
The first script in this thread is #1 and the second is #2.
