if you want to make a map....

Please ask me if you need help, im on teamspeak IRC and tremulous regularly


anyways, here is the trem mapping wiki that has all you need to know about how to start mapping!

i will be posting weekly on this thread on how to do certain things for mapping so if you new to it just watch this topic to learn stuff as you go!

This weeks lesson!!!! for anyone who is a newcomer to mapping


How to import a .MD3 and where to get them.


So start off by downloading a model you want in your map (usually lights are what people like to grab because its hard to make em) so say i want the light model

http://www.fileplanet.com/hosteddl.aspx?hfx%2fmapmd3-wmlight.zip Download

after downloading it and saving it to your Desktop, unzip it and open it. inside there should be a .tga or .shader and a .md3 file.

go into your tremulous base folder make a file called "models" then inside that a file called "mapobjects"(there should already be a premade folder setup with the md3)

put the Md.3 and .tga (if it exists) inside mapobjects.


then make a file called scripts if it isnt already there and put the .shader into that folder


after that you open up radiant and right click in the grid menu and go to MISC------>MISC_MODEL


go to your tremulous base folder, click add to bookmark it for a quick open every time you want a model then click on the model and it should appear inside your map! if you want another model all you need to do is press spacebar to duplicate your current one




Really easy and makes detail alot easier to do in maps.

whew you had me going there for a minute

Hey Tamaru. Just wanted to say thanks for posting this and referring me here. I'm starting to learn tonight and will be doing it until I go to bed, and then when I wake up, and all day long probably with little Trem breaks here and there.

Anyway, when I complete a decent enough project I'll come let you all know and see what you guys think of my beginners skills.

cool! good luck and happy mapping

oh wait tam said that.

Happy mapping and Good Luck!!!!

So far I'm not able to find a version that's able to run on Linux machines. It says there are no tested packages for Linux computers because there are so many versions, and the RPM page I found isn't there anymore which is on a Ubuntu website.

Does anyone know how I can get one for Ubuntu 8.10? I don't want to have to use Vista anymore.

is a backported version thats made for tremulous, you'll lik,e it alot here ya go.
