Joetheeskimo Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 I know this is a stupid question to put in the middle of a mapping/level forum, but exactly what program can I use to create levels?? I have a mappign tool, but I don't know how to make levels.
rgoer Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Hey, don't sweat "stupid questions" (I'm sure you've heard: there is no such thing!)... you've got to start somewhere right? The best mapping tool to use is GtkRadiant, and the best place to learn how to get started in Radiant is RichDiesal's tutorial site. RD's tutorials kind of fall off once you get past the basics, but they are a great place to learn the foundations of JK2 mapping. After you feel you understand RD's tutorials fully, feel free to post any questions you may have in this forum. Also, the "RichDiesal's Tutorial University Questions Thread" (or whatever it's called) is a good thread to read (in its entirety); many, many, many questions are answered in there.
tFighterPilot Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 It's never a stupid question when the title says stupid question. Belive me, I saw a lot of stupid questions.
Eldritch Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 It's not a stupid question. Everyone needs someplace to start. And I can't give you any better suggestion than what Rgoer already has.
Joetheeskimo Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 Uh you said it was a mappign tool...mpping and leveling aren't the same thing, are tehy?
rgoer Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Well, there is one thing to add: once you get to the "ok, I understand a little, but I have some questions" point of your mapping career, the search button is your friend. As long as you consider your query terms carefully, you'll find that almost every question you can think of has been answered.
tFighterPilot Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 mpping and leveling aren't the same thing, are tehy? What's the difference?
dekerd Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 What a stupid question!!! ... Hehe, just kidding, everyone has them.
Joetheeskimo Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 Originally posted by imyourfather What's the difference? The difference to me is that levels are single player maps, and maps are MP maps. Wouldn't SP maps have a different program, since you need to add stormroopers and triggers and stuff?

You just need to switch from SP mode to MP mode within GtkRadient. You can add stormtroopers (and other NPCs) and triggers in GtkRadient.
Joetheeskimo Posted June 17, 2003 Author Posted June 17, 2003 thnx a lot guys...expect to see a map out by me in a couple months or so!
