Hi,

I'm pretty new to qw mapping and I'd like to create a .loc file for my upcoming qw map. I already got some info on proQuake vs. Quakeworld location files but I'm looking for a tutorial on howto make the latter. Someone got a link?

I already had a look at darkplaces and there are the locs_* commands, but the locs_add command needs x y z coordinates, not only the name of the waypoint. How do you get those coordinates in-game?
Guess there's some console command to show them. I could get them from GtkRadiant by opening the .map file of course but that can hardly be the way you're supposed to do it...

Thanks in advance,

Simple ezQuake .loc tutorial:

/map <your_map_name>
/observe
/addloc $loc_name_ra adds location of RA via macros (there is a lot of built-in macroses, see locs/readme.txt inside of ezquake/locs.pk3 for more info)
/removeloc removes nearest location, it is useful to bind a key for this command.
/clearlocs clears all loaded locations for current map
/saveloc <your_map_name>

I have a better suggestion ... give the map to flintheart and it will have loc within five minutes

Already made them myself. Thanks for the info!
