Title: See Ya Worldcraft - Hello New Project
Post by: Particle on June 6, 2003 02:47 am CDT

I don't know how familiar any of you are with a program called Quake III Radiant or GTK Radiant.  Anyway, it's like Worldcraft--it was first started for the Quake2 game developers and has since evolved.  Anyhow, it is a map editor vastly superior to Worldcraft in every way possible.  This is where I fit in...

I was looking though the map file code and noticed that it's pretty damn similar.  I think I'm going to pull a hosed and make tools for GTK/Q3R that will allow those who feel as I do (that Radiant is better) can make Tribes prefabs.  I know I'm a little on the late side, but I'm really doing this for me.  I start tomorrow.

If GTK Radiant is free and it is compatible with Tribes then I would be willing to help make some pre-fabs.  Let me know if/when you can adapt the GTK for tibes and you want additional hands.

Peace

I really think the conversion is going to be very easily done.  Radiant (to me) is faster to use and more intuitively designed, it is better in every area except for entity work.  The brush work is marvelous though.

Well, after about two hours (I said it was easy) I've got something to show you all:

And just guess which application made THAT... heh  You guessed it--I've got GTK Radiant working with Tribes!

You want this:

I'll email you the tools as soon as I'm done writing the minimum needed amount of the application.  As it is right now, it's a completely manual process and I'm in the process of making an application to automate it for you.

If you can't wait, post saying so and I'll give you instructions.

Newbie, don't get your hopes up until you see the models themselves.

lol

I was just throwing junk together to test the scale and if it would work.  Basically, I was trying to find how tall to make stuff in proportion to the tribes model.

And I found out that he's a lot taller than the Quake guy hehe

why isnt there a quake mod for tribes? or a team fortress?

there must have been both of those at some point

Quake is fought indoors.  Tribe's abilities to reproduce an indoor environment of that quality don't exist.  There's only 12 entities in Tribes.
