just open it, then select all, and rescale it up a few units, and retexture it, and then you will probably have to fix all the stairs

so your best off making the unit grid sizes tiny, and rescale it bit by bit and keep looking at it all in game

thats if you convert bsp to map

Hello,

Thank you for your note. It is very much appreciated.

I have to confess that I have 0 idea even on how to begin with "open it, then select all ..."

Do you mind if I iMsg you with the map?

Thank you again!

you load quake 4
drop the in game console down by pressing ctrl+alt+`
then type editor, then the map editor will appear, and you just load the map like a normal program and select all with ctrl+a or whatever in the edit menu

In the Editor (QuakeEdit), there are four open windows:

*cam (blank, black background)
Inspectors
XY Top
Entity (blank, white background)

The "Edit" menu does not select-related command. However, there is "Selection" menu with "Select" submenu:

Select Complete Tall
Select Touching
Select Partial Tall
Select Inside
All Target
Complete Entity

I don't know which window to select and which command to run.

Thank you again.

on the toolbar that is a select box, click on it, then select most of the map in any window with a grid in

press ctrl+tab to change view, and make your selection are cover the map, then change window view again and select the whole map

after the map is inside of your selection area in all window views x/y/z press enter

Thank you again for your reply.

Out of nowhere, QuakeEdit will no longer work. It fires up, displays "Building Brush Data" window, then shuts down.

Once you have your map's geometry converted, I wouldn't bother with built-in editor and try GtkRadiant instead, it has Q4 support (gamepack) for years.

Converting could be problematic, however: brush definition is different between the two games, so manual (or semi-automated) conversion is hard, and I'm not sure if Radiant can readily import/export maps in different formats.

You should be able to use QuArK though. Open the map in Q3A mode, save it as a .qrk file (QuArK's native format), change the game tag to Q4 with a text editor, open the map in QuArK in Q4 mode, save again as a .map file (source). I vaguely recall it worked for me, albeit in the opposite direction (getting Q2 version of a Q4 map).

If all fails, try uploading your Q3A map somewhere so we can take a look and perhaps provide you with "raw" Q4 map to work with.

Hello,

Thank you for your note. It is very much appreciated.

After saving .map to .qrk in QuArK, I can't find where the new .qrk file is saved. Even after all "hidden" settings have been turned off, Windows Explorer and Notepad++ can't still locate it.

I have uploaded the .map file here ...

Thank you again for your kindness!

Hm, I'm sorry, I might have inadvertently misguided you: apparently, QuArK cannot be forced to output Q4 brush definitions, at least I didn't find a way.

I was about to write a tool for that, but quick googling revealed this little utility which almost did the job: it produced the map with Q4 brushes, albeit not quite correct.

To be able to open the map in GtkRadiant 1.5 in Q4 mode I had to change version from 2 to 3 and fix some syntactic bogosities. I've uploaded it here.

Thank you, Alex.

I managed to open the file you uploaded (gimap01_qt4.map) in QuArK. However, when I try to open it with GtkRadiant 1.6.4, so many errors messages appear.

Btw, before this issue gets off target, I will iMsg you just to give you the idea behind this conversion and so forth.

Thank you again, Alex!
