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.

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. |

No, 3DS Max does NOT do maps for JK2/3. The map editor is GTKRadiant. 3DS Max only does visual aspects of things, whereas Radiant also includes things like script triggers and spawn points, and automatically compiles your map into the BSP format. Complex map features like irregular terrain can be done with plugins for Radiant. An example is one that imports a grayscale heightmap and turns it into a terrain brush. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

GTKRadiant has bugs too. If it doesn't work, don't worry, just reinstall. Yes, I know this may already be above, but you can download radiant here. Just select a mirror. Anyway, as I was going to say, you can make a map in a model, but I dunno how good it would be. Basically, you make the model, get somebody else to add it to a new map, then pack it up. Again, I'm not too sure of how it would look - You wouldn't be able to use map functions, unless the mapper added those too. However, I strongly suggest that you stick with radiant. |

Radiant is for mapping, Max is for modeling. And you want GTKRadiant not QERadiant. _______________ Padawan to the great Jacen Aratan! <Setementor> Scythus is a genius! Claimer of the 5000th post in the Count thread [Solitude] scy rocks [Casual] good point scythus, you're really smart |
