NeonsStyle 572 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Hey, I have a heap of maps in GTK Radiant format, and I was wondering if there was a way to extract the brushworkinto Dark Radiant? Does anyone know any way at all to do this? Thanks Neon formerly Venus Edited May 26, 2016 by NeonsStyle Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.

greebo 34 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Doesn't it work when you just load the map in DR? The Doom 3/Quake .map formats are not very different and IIRC I built in support for loading all the old brushDef formats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) No it doesn't work. I get a failing parson (0) unknown primitive type error. The map was originallymade for Quake 3 Arena, then converted to Wolfenstien Return to the Castle (for the textures). It's a palace with 4 floors, and I would love to be able to convert it over toTDM.

greebo 34 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Can you upload the map somewhere, I'd like to see the brush format it's using. Also, I think there's the QuArK editor which can also load and save a variety of formats, maybe this can do the trick for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I said it's a Q3 map, half done, but all of the textures are gone (alot were custom). I don't care about that, I would just like the brushwork. GTKRadiant1.5 will load it (Later versions won't). It was done in GTKRadiant 1.5 Ven Edited June 17, 2016 by NeonsStyle Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.

greebo 34 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ah, I see, this map is using the really old brush format which doesn't even have the "brushDef" keyword in it. I'd be interested to add a parser to the Quake3MapReader, but it might be a while. In the meantime, can you try loading it in QuArK? One might also have some luck converting the map file using regular expressions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greebo 34 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Got something for you to try out: please download the latest 64 bit pre-release build: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5l3W4qqEX26a2NMY0lLbUZUbTAIt's the portable version, so just extract the contents somewhere, but don't start it yet. Then download this file here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5l3W4qqEX26YjlncF9GZmVsUzQ Extract the mapdoom3.dll from that archive and put it in the modules/ folder in the DarkRadiant directory, overwriting the mapdoom3.dll that's already there. Then start DarkRadiant.exe, does it load the map successfully? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So now that works, will it be ok to work on the map since it's a pre-release build? Or should I wait till it's complete/released? Thanks so much.

greebo 34 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Glad it worked. You mean whether it's safe to work on the map with the pre-release build? Yes, that should be ok, it's a version that's very close to release anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Excellent, thank you so much Greebo. Long ago in Q3 I wanted to make a haunted mansion map, but you just couldn't doit in that. With all the brushwork made, now I can really get into it and finally make it. So I'm wrapped. Thank you so much. Ven soon to be NeonsStyle lol Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.
