No it does not. GtkRadiant has a bad track record of working on the mac, and I've yet to get it working in 10.5.x.

It really pissess me off, that I can start making Maps on Mac!

I have really been having a great time with gtkradiant, heaps goodly. I have found learning to get an instal was the first part, but the skills i learnt while doing it where required to make maps so I recommend getting in, making a mess and learning to fix it.

Ive been mapping for around 6 months [I guess] and it is becoming very obvious to me that I missed a vital part of my instal, dont think I correctly specified the path to the quake3 dir

So I have opened gtkradiant1.5,
Click Edit
Click Preferences
go to Settings
select Paths
Path Settings, Engine Paths //this is C:/UrT41Mapping/

I am going to change this to C:/UrT41Mapping/baseq3/
cross my fingers and hope it worked

My aim is for gtk to read the urbanterror.def file

If it is obvious to you that I have this very wrong, such as I need to reinstal to set the correct path, or some other suggestion, please make it now

"Be sure to correctly specify where your quake3 directory is."

It obviously didnt work; can someone suggest how I could get the urbanterror.def to work? or in other words how to tell gtkRadiant1.5 where the quake3 directory is?

Where is your .def file?

It should be in q3ut4/scripts

or

X:\...\GtkRadiant 1.5.0\q3.game\baseq3


I think it's one of those, I'm not a big user of 1.5.

And your engine path was correct originally.

It currently lives in my Urban Terror mapping folder, in the baseq3 folder...
Ill try it in the scripts folder, is the next best place to try, ty Null

[edit] didnt work either, it was already in the scripts folder...

I found a file called wf_entities.def in the Mapping folder [ OS_Install (C:)/UrTMapping/ ]
So I tried adding the urbanterror.def here too, didnt seem to work

It has been living in my C: UrTMapping/baseq3 , this doesnt work
I tried it in;
C: UrTMapping/baseq3/q3ut4
C: UrTMapping/baseq3/q3ut4/scripts

in C: UrTMapping ,
C: UrTMapping/q3ut4
C: UrTMapping/q3ut4/scripts

these dont work either

[edit]; The issue must be with specifying where the urbanterror.def is
I will leave one copy in baseq3 folder which is where the istall guide suggested.
I will keep looking in gtkRadiant for some where I might be able to specify the path to the .def file

I can't get it to do a bsp compile. I've done everything that one dude did in his post, and some more. Do I have to have a skybox and entinuies and all that to compile? I haven't figured out how to do this yet, so if anyone knows some good tutorials post them. Thanks!

EDIT: Screenies. Sorry I got so ticked off that I forgot the details.

[edit]
I never could get he mapmaker batch to run right.

Instead, I just unpacked all the stuff from the pk3 files into my q3ut2 folder, and I downloaded gtkradiant1.5 and set up a few things.
I ran through some of bubba's arena tutorials, made a (room) BSP from radiant, and tested it. Worked great.

I am going to do some more tutorials tomorrow and probably play with making a very rudamentary map to play in... just for the fun. But I have a feel that since I never went through that batch, I missed out on some things (like the pref and proj files and stuff) that will come back and haunt me.

I can't run q3map2Toolz... I get
Run-time error '713':
Class not registered.
You need the following file to be installed on your machine. MSSTDFMT.DLL.

I have that file on my machine.
My god... all I have been doing for hours is jumping through hoops.
When does the fun ever begin?

I suppose if all this were too easy, There'd be a bunch of crappy maps everywhere?

Making progress.... learning curve (is hard at times).... but making progress.

One thing I am stuck on ATM. I don't have common textures (like 'hint', 'clip', 'weapclip').
I was able to find common.shader online, but not the textures.
I'm not sure why but they didn't unpak from the pk3 files for me.
