| Q3map2 Graphical User Interface (1.1 Build 1029) - File Description |
|
Description:
Well, this is a niftly little utility. Basically, if I understand it right, it is a front end for ydnar's q3map2-compiler. It in itself looks pretty cool, although just by going through it a little, without compiling a map, I was able to find a couple bugs. One dealt with frmFolders.Dir1_change, which happened every time I browsed folders for map files. And then there’s the need for the q3map2 compiler itself. It’d be great if it was already included, but if you’re a mapper you probably know where to go for it. Seeing as I don’t map, I don’t know where to go.  But anyways, this looks like a very useful tool for mappers. So download it if you’re interested.

############# - NOTES - ###################
At fist, sorry for my bad english ;)
Why did anybody code a new frontend for old Q3 based engine compiler?
Hmm.., cause i'm still a small active part of german JK-mapping community :D
Till today i used q3map2build to compile my maps, but i dreamed about a fronted,
which can check the logfile "live", during the compilation.
But the problem was, i couldn't write a working Log-Listener.
I asked DLB for providing me the q3map2build-quellcode, but received no answer :(
many days after, i did it finally...
... an working log-listener :D
It was the beginning of q3map2GUI.
Q3map2GUI is simple like q3map2build, but powerfull like q3map2toolz ;)
The most different featuers of q3map2GUI are:
- "live" Log - checking for errors ans warnings (You can see them at one click)
- you can compile and play maps in subfolders! (base/maps/ ...."
- you can specify SP and MP game executables
- this app do not add any registry keys, not one ;)
BSPC is not supported at this time.
Installation:
=============
just Copy the .exe file and all q3g-files to one directory und run the exe.
Important Settings:
Set up the game executable directory
Set up the multiplayer-game executable directory (optional)
set up Log-files folder
Set up Path to q3map2.exe (tested with v2.5.16)
Set up Log-Viewer Type
Choose your game
# Supported at this time are:
- Quake III Arena
- Startrek Elite Force
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein
- Wolfenstein-Enemy Territory
- Soldiers of Fortune2
- Jedi Knight2
- Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
BSP,VIS,LIGHT,Game Options:
Change whatever you want. Some of these are mod specific. Most aren't.
I just added soem things in here for ya.
These may be added to inside the q3map2options.q3g file, a simple
ASCII file
>>>>>>>>EDITING THE Q3G FILES<<<<<<<<
q3map2options.q3g is based on DLB' q3map2buid.bdf
The files are pretty self explanatory, uses stock windows components.
ChkButton is a check button,
ChkBtnTxt is a text input
NewColumn means new column for display purposes
NormalCmd is what is default without custom radio button checked.
The format for ChkButton is
ChkButton(displayed command,batch command,on(true) or off(false), "tooltips text)"
The format for ChkBtnTxt is
ChkBtnTxt(-displayed command,written to batch command %t,on(true) or off(false),Default value,box size,"tooltips text)"
Both of these are strict with their input formats, if you break something I'm
sure you will see it immediately.
Please let me know of any problems you might find with this application.

looks very nice!
cant see a very big difference to Q3map2build but i will try it!
Meh, I would download it if it had increased compile times or something like that. I can stand the black window with white text that comes with the regular version of GTK just fine, thanks. 
But very good work. You put some effort into the interface itself, with the graphic design.  for time and effort.
...compile time has nothing to do with the frontend. Ask ydnar for a new q3map2 if you want faster compile times. Or get a better rig.
the GUI is a lot more comfortable than q3map2build. Definately worth a try!
Nice, i know a couple of guys who could use this
btw...is that ur windows theme skin data? Looks good ^^
its probably a screenshot from the author becuase i has tutorial maps and german mapnames and he said in hes readme:
Hmm.., cause i'm still a small active part of german JK-mapping community 
This was definitely a missing tool  gj

omg. You still use "black window thing" here. This is just a helpful tool to manage your compile commands. And it's really helpful indeed, because you can view the log file while compiling (you can't do that with q3map2build though), you needn't search for every error in the log, but you can click "errors" and it will tell you where you made a mistake, and it lets you save several user profiles.
Also it has my name in teh read-me file (see beta testers)
Very good job Arth. 10/10 
This is what I've been waiting for ages! At last no more command-line UI.
9/10
Sure download here!
Usualy I dislike vb on general principles due to its limits, but then I see somthing like this and I am reminded how damn usefull it is at times.
Great job on the program!
It confuses me
Your not alone. I'm lost too.
Could some one help me on this?
what do i need for this to work?
Plz help!!
