Can someone please post the best way to start mapping for terrain and all the fun stuff.
I have been searching for a bit now but don’t know the best ones to use to start off. I don’t want beginner stuff but normally used software.
Thanks Everyone

sry to hijack this thread. one question. i have made my own font for et with the font tool of link number 2 by ischbinz. now if i replace the fonts folder of my etmain with my own then exactly what happens ? i have tried to alert a printer and print me some textmessage, but its still the old font. but is this supposed to replace for example the text of the printer entity, or am i wrong ? i couldnt see any effect, but im sure i have done everything right. i have used this modified fontfile with the names of the original files to replace them. so my fonts folder has this files in it
ariblk_0_16.tga
ariblk_0_27.tga
ariblk_1_27.tga
ariblk_16.dat
ariblk_27.dat
courbd_0_21.tga
courbd_0_30.tga
courbd_1_30.tga
courbd_21.dat
courbd_30.dat
thos are like i said just renamed files. its my own data. anything wrong or am i on the totally wrong path again ?
its in etmain/fonts like in original .pk3 im not sure about the effect it should have, maybe i do everything alright, but cant see the effect 
@Qualmi
These font files don’t replace all fonts.
You should use a very different font to see the effect and where the fonts are replaced.

Welcome to the forums.
Have fun and enjoy your stay.
At least you should have the latest version of GTKRadiant (version 1.4.0 preferred but 1.5.0 also working).
The newest version of q3map2 if you use GTKRadiant version 1.4.0 (it’s shiped with version 1.5.0 of GTKRadiant).
Easygen and the W:ET template for Easygen.
Some prefer to build the terrain by hand without Easygen.
There a tutorial written by sock on how to alpha blend terrain.
Seems that the original article on sock’s homepage is gone 
For the biginning building terrain with Easygen is sufficient / adivsed.
Ifurita has written a very good scripting tutorial.
You will find it and some more tutorials and prefabs in the W:ET section of his homepage:
RTCW & ET 4 newbies
BTW it’s s.Oliver from wf 
Thank You and Hello Oliver =P
Okay, I looked and searched and tried links for Easygen, and i even heard there is a easygen2 out?
All I am getting is a website template generator. Can someone post a link for me?
~Thanks
has anyone noticed how buggy GTk radient is on vista sp2, i keep getting errors and crashes randomly
I followed this tutorial:
http://tramdesign.planetwolfenstein.gamespy.com/tutorials/tut_easygen.html
I do what it says and i can’t get the textures for Step four, Sub Step 1.
Sub-step #1
Select the “rendering: texture” check box across the top of EasyGen. (rendering: flat, rendering: alphamap, rendering: texture) this will show you the textures as they are applied to you terrain.
Select the upper left black box (box number 1), a pop-up menu will appear, select a color that you want the material to be (green). Then select the texture that you want associated with that material (grass).
You will now see the entire terrain covered in grass.
The textures tiling can be adjusted by hitting the “+” and “-“ keys to increase or decrease the tiled effect.
The Bold and underlined part is where the problem is. Any Ideas?
Here is another Easygen tutorial with pictures:
http://www.surfacegroup.org/tutorials/easygen/
Step 4-1 of the tutorial you use seems to be step 5 in the tutorial in the link above.

[NECROEDIT - IT WAS CAPS LOCK] sry to hijack this thread. one question. in radiant i can no longer move in 3d after rightcliked in the 3d window, but it immediately exits freemove mode when i press an arrow key and them moving only in 1 height level and u cant steer with the mouse. this is a new installation, what has changed i have never seen shit like this?? though installed it many times before!! what i have to set?? i ddint found anything similar in prefs… i suppose this is another “oh i pressed j” type question :s (p.s.1.5.)
Ey, you need to hit ‘Textures/add folder’ to get the textures into EZ Gen then you can associate them to your alphamap colours. (don’t forget to adjust the texturescale using kp_+/-)
@aa3 - reinstall 1.4?
