[feature request] source vmf support in DR


Recommended Posts

not actually sure it could be done anyway, the way the brushes and entities are defined in source is a lot different to doom3, doom3 map scripts are in a separate file and source script is in the vmf map file, and there are 3 versions of source so you would have to create 3 versions of a darkradiant game file, you would be better sticking to the source editor as it gets regular updates by someone at valve, and as source has had regular changes over the last 18 months, to make it compatible with the xbox and that the maps it produces, work the same way on a pc as they would work on a xbox. cos originally source could use 2200 entities and its been cut down to about 1700 entities for everyone so that maps made on a pc also work on a xbox.

So there could be xbox related things in source map files now, so then you could be heading into the dark water's surrounding microsofts intellectual property.

I am on linux and it does not seem that anytime in the future that hammer will be ported to linux. The map compiling toolset is already working on linux with some minor hookups in the vrad but the posix ports are getting pushed up stream some time so they will be fixed eventually. The only real major hookup I see is getting all the map data that hammer uses, like the types of items and entities from what it is named/called in DR. all .vmf is is a text file with a bunch of { } sections.

is .map a binary format? and what ever anyone thinks they all have the same root family to quake map format in there some where. Unless valve drastically changed it, it should be close to the map format.

If this is suppossed to be a question, the answer is no. You can open up map files in a text editor to see how their format is like.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
