Hello!
I wana try to map a bit for quakeworld. it looks like netraidant is the way to go and i have some wads from quaddicted.
Now i wana take a look into the original id maps, since there are a lot remakes, please explain how to decompile bsp to map.
also maybe give some compiling advice!
Thx for answers.
btw you can take a look on my crap maps here XD

Just search for quake 1 map sources they're uploaded somewhere in a zip in .map format. No need to decompile.

If you really need to convert a bsp to .map, winbspc can do it. Keep in mind its going to be pretty messy.
Also a while back people used to remove light entities from the bsp once the light pass had been completed to cram more entities into the map without hitting a limit, so some decompiled maps may no longer have lights.

Make sure, you find all the leaks before releasing anything

Compilers make a pointfile mapname.prt when it finds leaks

In-Game you just type /pointfile to load it and it will make a trace to the leak from a entity

That is not a good solution
