Half-Life and Hammer editor for Nexuiz??

[Ronin]

Allllright, In my last post Still cant get GtkRadiant to work, but thats another thread. KadaverJack posted that i could use halflife map files (besides the textures).
1)So does this mean i can edit "World Craft 3.5 Hammer" to make Nexuiz maps?
2)I have tried loading some of my old .map files, now would i do the samething i would as if i want them to pop up in my map list in game? (put time in ~/.nexuiz/data)?
3)Can i use the same compile tools that i used for half-life? or would i have to switch to quake compile tools and .Gfd files?
And (you knew this was coming)
4)Where might i be able to find the tools?

Before quitting using radiant, maybe you should ask Clueless Newby how he get the program working on a MAC.

that was a very long time ago now its quake bsp

i didnt try it but im sure you cant

2)I have tried loading some of my old .map files, now would i do the samething i would as if i want them to pop up in my map list in game? (put time in ~/.nexuiz/data)?

if you put the .map file with the .bsp file and a mapcfg in a .pk3 then you hav to put them in nexuiz/data

3)Can i use the same compile tools that i used for half-life? or would i have to switch to quake compile tools and .Gfd files?

i totally dont know what you need for half life but for nexuiz you need the .pk3 files

4)Where might i be able to find the tools?

.pk3 is the same as .zip so winzip should be enough. But if you want to make it easier for yourself use 7zip


hopefully i can help you
