Mapping Tutorial

As a new mapper, I have found it to be incredibly helpful as well... the other to check out is Bubba's Arena... its more dedicated towards Quake3, but JK2 uses the Q3 engine so everything is pretty much the same.

 

Do you have the (free) Radiant software yet?

Get GtkRadiant instead of JK2Radiant (it's more stable and has a few more features), and use the q3map2 compile options in Gtk (for example, use "q3map2 (test)" where RichDiesal says "BSP FastVIS 1/2" and use "q3map2 (final)" where he says "BSP fullVIS").

 

The reason is that Rich's tutorials are slightly out of date. q3map2 is a far superior compiler than the old one he uses.

 

You can get GtkRadiant at http://www.qeradiant.com

 

Gtk comes with a version of q3map2, but you can get the most recent version at http://www.shaderlab.com

 

And we of the mapping forum are always here to help! :)

If that's your only qualification, then I suppose it's better.

 

But as far as actual technical differences go, GtK Radiant is far superior to JK2 Radiant for reasons Wedge listed above. If you're having problems loading it, I suggest you download a stable version of it instead of the latest release (which sometimes has problems). You'll find it much easier.
