Ready-to-use packages are available in the Releases section.

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.

Random feature highlights

• WASD camera binds
• Fully supported editing in 3D view (brush and entity creation, all manipulating tools)
• Uniform merge algorithm, merging selected brushes, components and clipper points
• Free and robust vertex editing, also providing abilities to remove and insert vertices
• UV Tool (edits texture alignment of selected face or patch)
• Autocaulk
• Model browser
• Brush faces extrusion
• Left mouse button click tunnel selector, paint selector
• Numerous mouse shortcuts (see help->General->Mouse Shortcuts)
• Focus camera on selected (Tab)
• Snapped modes of manipulators
• Draggable renderable transform origin for manipulators
• Quick vertices drag / brush faces shear shortcut
• Simple shader editor
• Texture painting by drag
• Seamless brush face<->face, patch<->face texture paste
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts
• Customizable GUI themes, fonts
• MeshTex plugin
• Patch thicken
• All patch prefabs are created aligned to active projection
• Filters toolbar with extra functions on right mouse button click
• Viewports zoom in to mouse pointer
• 'all Supported formats' default option in open dialogs
• Opening *.map, sent via cmd line (can assign *.map files in OS to be opened with radiant)
• 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 selector/walker
• Build->customize: list available build variables
• 50x faster light radius rendering
• Light power is adjustable by mouse drag
• Anisotropic textures filtering
• Optional MSAA in viewports
• New very fast entity names rendering system
• Support 'stupid quake bug'
• 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:

• q3map_remapshader remaps anything fine, on all stages
• Automatic map packager (complete Q3 support)
• Report full / full pk3 path on file syntax errors
• Allowed simultaneous samples+filter use, makes sense
• -brightness 0..alot, def 1: mimics q3map_lightmapBrightness globally
• -contrast -255..255, def 0: lighting contrast
• -saturation light option
• -bouncecolorratio 0..1 (ratio of colorizing light sample by texture)
• -nolm - no lightmaps
• -novertex works, (0..1) sets globally
• -vertexscale
• 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)
• -extlmhacksize zero effort external lightmaps for Q3
• Valve220 mapformat autodetection and support
• Consistent brush content deduction with mixed face parameters
• Model shaders paths deduction
• Fixed model autoclip, added 20 new clipping modes
• Support negative misc_model scale
• Assimp model loading library (40+ formats)
• -json bsp export/import
• -mergebsp injects one bsp to another
• No shaderlist.txt mode: load all shaders
