Hey I've been wanting to map for a very long time, but I'm wondering what I'll need to start doing so.
So, here are my questions:
1. If I wanted to edit a map, I would need a .map file, right? So, I have it, but I'm stuck on how I can view that map in 3D. It tells me I need a gfx.wad file. Does it want the Original Quake 1 gfx.wad or what?
2. Once I start editing a map, I would like to know how to add weapons. (This map has NO weapons in it, and is less than 100KB) This is where it gets confusing for me. I would also like to know how to place the weapon wherever I want.
3. After I'm done, (If I get that far) what do I do to compile the map? I see a TON of functions in WorldCraft and Quark, but...
4. It tells me after I open the map, it says this: "No textures are available for use with that game. You must set them up before editing the map." It then shows me a configuration box. What do I need to change those settings to? (This is in Worldcraft)
If I have any other questions, I'll post more here. Thanks for any help!
