NetRadiant = Radiant 1.5 with useful q3map2 patches...

[Odin]

I would suggest an option to hide _bump/_norm/_gloss/_glow textures as the mapper will probably not use them. I also recommend looking at the code for Tr3B's GtkRadiant fork for XreaL, as it has a dynamic lighting preview mode. You'll have to get NetRadiant to use a generic material for all shaders to fake the nexuiz automatic shaders(automatically applying _bump/_norm/_gloss/_glow textures). You could probably do it like this(pseudo xreal material but would have to be written in c code inside radiant's shader parser in implementation):

Code: Select all

<diffusemap>
{
  qer_editorImage <diffusemap>
  diffuseMap <diffusemap>
  bumpMap <normalmap>
  specularMap <specularmap>
}

XreaL uses bumpMap for normalmaps, bu only for compatibility with various map editors. It can use normalMap as well for the actual engine.

XreaL's radiant is quite distant from GtkRadiant 1.5, and merging that would take me ages. Need someone with more time and who is more experienced for that.

The GtkRadiant supplied with the XreaL SVN is almost exactly the same as 1.5 except for the dynamic light preview. It just uses GLSL to do it. You may be thinking of XrealRadiant which is very new and is becoming the official editor for Xreal. However, the GtkRadiant is still there.

16:39 < Tr3B> i just use glsl
16:40 < Tr3B> ok and i use the glsl interface of qrazor-fx
16:40 < Tr3B> however it should be easy to adopt it

Well, about a year ago Tr3b told me the Radiant he's using for XreaL is stripped from Q3 map support and edited at lots of places.

And Radiant 1.5 already has realtime light preview for Doom 3 maps. I just have no clue how to change that to work on Q3 maps.

Need someone to look into that, basically. I can't.

GtkRadiant in XreaL SVN can load and save Q3 maps. I have done it. It is called "Version 1", rather than "Quake 3". This is irrelevant, though. I could probably design a level for Nexuiz in XreaL GtkRadiant. All you have to do is make a diff for it(compare it to the original GtkRadiant 1.5.0 revision XreaL GtkRadiant is based off of), then find its dynamic light preview code.

So Tr3b lied to me?

I rephrase. Is this Radiant from XreaL running in Doom 3 mode (maybe it can convert from/to Q3 maps in that mode), or is it actually running in Q3 mode?

And I have no idea where to get that source, and "simply diff" is not possible as I have no idea which version of GtkRadiant XreaL's is based on.

Xreal is now using DarkRadiant from DarkMod. http://darkradiant.sourceforge.net/
DarkRadiant is yet another fork of GTKRadiant.

[divVerent]

Too bad that version is unusable for Q3 maps too.

[Alien]

There is still Tr3b's patched version of GTKRadiant Odin is talking about, but it seems it is rather abandoned now.

Also, I really doubt the lighting preview code of that helps AT ALL, as it is also in GtkRadiant 1.5. It can only be used in Doom 3 mode. The real thing to do would be making it support Quake 3 mode too. And I have no clue about that part (or even why it does nothing in Quake 3 maps at all).
