you need the current gtkradiant at www.qeradiant.com and new q3map2 (the compiler) at www.shaderlab.com (or here at the sticky links) and then get help for setup at www.wolfensteinx.com/surface and check out the mapper-ressources list here for a load of tutorials

Every GtkRadiant release has a Q3Map2 release in it already.

But GtkRadiant gets updated on a much slower cycle than q3map2 does, so the version of q3map2 that you get with GtkR usually becomes outdated within a few weeks.

I found all… :clap:

i 've compiled q3dm17sample.map :drink:

it take 10 mn on my XP2500+ (barton) and 1 Gb DDR333

with Q3map2… :eek3:

it’s very long is that normal ?

Compiled properly (with -vis -fast and -light -fast) it takes under 1 minute on my Athlon 2200+ for a full compile.

be prepared for way longer compiles when you build a bigger map! :smiley:
