Ok heres some tutorials and guides for you budding mappers skinner modelers and whatnot.Mapping Firstly go here to get the editor: http://www.qeradiant.com/?data=files&files_dir=21 http://richdiesal.jedioutcastmaps.com/tutorials/ (Beginner to intermediate) http://planetquake.com/bubba/mapping.html Begginer and Intermdiate http://www.massassi.net/tutorials.php All kinds http://planetquake.com/qworkshop3/tutorials/ Beginner --> Advanced http://www.pcgamemods.com/5223/ All kinds (Bunch of tuts in a zip) http://www.jkmapping.com Video Tutorials - Thanks to Xan. Skinning http://jediknight.filefront.com/file.stuff?body=CustomSkinningTutorial How to edit skins and get them in game. There are very few guides about how do skin well, just remember how it will wrap on the model, and know how to draw realistically with photoshop. http://www.gamingforums.com/showthread.php?t=87386 Some help with the latter here. Modeling I'll split this up into several sections. Player Modeling You will need 3DS Max to do this, which isnt cheap. Get the JK3 editing tools: http://jediknight.filefront.com/file.info?ID=18807 http://jediknight.filefront.com/file.info?ID=18604 Getting it to work. To do this effectively you really need to know how to model beforehand, and it's not easy. If you want to start modeling and you havent done it before, I advise you look at one of the other sections. Hilt Modeling You will probably want milkshape for this. http://www.massassi.com/coffeestain/03.html How to get your saberhilt from milkshape to JK2/3. http://www.btinternet.com/~howe_alison/brothers/tutorial/gmax_jkii_tutorial.htm An excellent hilt tutorial. Again you will need to learn to model seperately. Don't worry, i'll post some general milkshape or 3ds max tutorials at the end. General Modeling Tutorials Instead of posting a massive list i'll give you a link: http://www.gamingforums.com/showthread.php?t=63469 about 20 milkshape tutorials there. Also the official site's tutorials: http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/ms3d/tutorials.html 3DS MAX tuorials: http://www.3dcafe.com/asp/tut3ds.asp and more: http://www.3dbuzz.com/ Miscellaneous http://www.gamingforums.com/showthread.php?t=123422 Menu scripts http://www.gamingforums.com/showthread.php?t=109799 NPC's. Just scroll down and read the thread, all the info is there, if not completely clear. There. Thanks for reading this, hope you find it useful.

Quote: Which one do you download? If you're referring to the Tutorials and such Scythus linked to, you can download any you wish learn. If you were referring to our recent conversation on RichDiesal's Tutorials, we were just discussing about having backup, incase his site were to go down for good. |

It's been around for a while, but as JK2 descends from interest, I doubt each time whether it will be put back up. It is truly one of the best tutorials for beginners to radiant for any game. I believe there is a .zip file with all the pages you can download from the site. I strongly recommend getting this ... just in case.  _______________ A wizard did it. |

Scythus, he didn't download it, he had one supplied with the game, obviously another version, or edition Well, dig through your folders and check if their is an .exe to open your QEradiant, though the name is different, so it probably won't work with JK2 or JK3, but no harm in trying _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

So once you've got the editor, how do you open it? Is there a shortcut? The QE Radiant with Doom 3 has to be accessed through the game. If that editor worked with JA how would i go about opening it with the JA source? _______________ Padawan to Solitude "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to... suffering" -Jedi Master Yoda "I shall not fear.

It doesn't matter too much on the engine, if it's similar. If the map files are the same, and contain the same data, then it's probably fit to use. Especially if it's GTK Radiant or something. But I doubt it. I do think it'd be best to download GTK Radiant if you don't already have it. |

Quote: I've already got radiant, but it came with Doom 3. Is it the same editor? Can i use this for JK:JA, or will i need to download it again? I'm not completely sure.

It becomes permanent when an Administrator makes it permanent. If you edit it, you don't have the power to keep it permanent. |
