rapha: 2011, the big 4 and ZeRo4 (158 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by Thorin @ 09:28 CST, 20 February 2012 - iMsg

Shane "rapha'" Hendrixson, of SK Gaming, spoke in an extensive text interview about 2011, the big four of QL (himself,

Cooller,

cypher and

av3k) and

ZeRo4's influence on his development as a player.

On balancing aiming and thinking during engagements:

I know for myself that some games I've played, based just on the way I feel that day I've favored one over the other. Almost always the strategy portion in my case. I've noticed the same in cypher, for example, where some games/days he is just so on he focuses on the aiming and damage output portion of his game. Other days he doesn't feel so comfortable aiming so he switches to focusing on strategy and making less mistakes.

The entire interview can be read at SK Gaming.

How to export QL maps to 3D format (41 comments)

( Article: QL)

Posted by Memento_Mori @ 10:40 CST, 11 February 2012 - iMsg

Since I got this question asked many times, I figured I would write an article instead and point people here.

This process describes how to convert Quake Live maps into 3D formats.

Tools

- Quake Live Decembler (quakelivedec.exe)
- An HEX editor (HHD HEX Editor Neo)
- Any version of radiant (GTK 1.4, 1.5, net, ...)
- q3map2.exe

Steps

Let assume you want to convert campgrounds (dm6).

1. Fetch 'campgrounds.pk3' inside '...\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3'

2. In a command prompt windows do:

quakelivedec.exe campgrounds.pk3 campgrounds.zip

3. Extract the zip content and fetch 'campgrounds.bsp'

4. Open it with the HEX editor and change the fifth byte from '2f' to '2e'. This converts the BSP version back to Q3.

5. In a command prompt windows do:

q3map2.exe -convert -format map campgrounds.bsp

This will generate a 'campgrounds.map'

6. Open the map in radiant. Filter the geometry off (toggle with alt + 1) select all entities and delete them. Around the map, create a brush box with the shader 'caulk'. Hollow the brush and save.

7. Create an 'info_player_start' anywhere in the map. Save.

8. In a command prompt windows do:

q3map2.exe -game quake3 -meta -patchmeta -subdivisions 2 -v campgrounds.map
q3map2.exe -convert -format ase -v campgrounds.bsp

This will generate 'campgrounds.ase', which can be read in most 3D applications.

9. The textures are exported as relative path assuming that the map is located in the folder 'maps' of QL tree. Repeat step 2. for all pk3 files. You can use a batch file like this:

for %%i In (" ...\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\"*.pk3) do quakelivedec "...\AppData\LocalLow\id Software\quakelive\baseq3\%%~nxi" "destinationfolder\zzz-%%~nxi.zip"

Extract all the files, and put the generated 'campgrounds.ase' inside the folder. Your 3D application should now find the textures.
