Supported games

Main focus is on Quake, Quake3 and Quake Live.

Though other normally supported games should work too; See unverified game configs.

Features

Development is focused on smoothing and tweaking editing process.

• texture browser: show alpha transparency option
• texture browser: gtk search in directories and tags trees
• texture browser: search in currently shown textures
• CSG Tool (aka shell modifier)
• working region compilations (build a map with region enabled = compile regioned part only)
• QE tool in a component mode: perform drag w/o hitting any handle too
• map info dialog: + Total patches, Ingame entities, Group entities, Ingame group entities counts
• connected entities walker
• build->customize: list available build variables

• arbitrary texture projections for brushes and curves
• fully working texture lock, supporting any affine transformation
• texture locking during vertex and edge manipulations
• brush resize (QE tool): reduce selected faces amount to most wanted ones
• support brush formats, as toggleable preference: Axial projection, Brush primitives, Valve 220
• autodetect brush type on map opening
• automatic AP, BP and Valve220 brush types conversion on map Import and Paste
• new bbox styled manipulator, allowing any affine transform (move, rotate, scale, skew)
• incredible number of fixes and options

Q3Map2:

• allowed samples+filter, makes sense
• -vertexscale
• -novertex works, (0..1) sets globally
• fixed _clone _ins _instance (_clonename) functionality
• -nolm - no lightmaps
• -bouncecolorratio 0..1 (ratio of colorizing light sample by texture)
• q3map_remapshader remaps anything fine, on all stages
• fixed model autoclip, added 20 new modes
• automatic map packager (complete Q3 support)
• -brightness 0..alot, def 1: mimics q3map_lightmapBrightness, but globally + affects vertexlight
• -contrast -255..255, def 0: lighting contrast
• report full / full pk3 path on file syntax errors
• new area lights backsplash algorithm (utilizing area lights instead of point ones)
• -backsplash (float)scale (float)distance: adjust area lights globally (real area lights have no backsplash)
• new slightly less careful, but much faster lightmaps packing algorithm (allocating... process)
• Valve220 mapformat autodetection and support
