  • Is there a way to configure q3map2 to use multiple cores? I've got four cores in my mac, and q3map2 is only using one of them. So I have two idle cores that could be used by q3map2. (currently compiling a map and I think it'll take around 24 hours to complete)

  • afaik it only detects and uses multi cpus on windows. anything else and you will have to tell it with -threads #

  • For me, it always uses 4 threads by default on Linux (2 cores).
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

    There's a switch that you can use called 'threads'. This may do it.


    That looks right, anyway. But q3map2GUI - which is the app I'm using - doesn't seem to have that switch... hmm..
