Scaling the map - Justin - 08-30-2012
I can't scale my map down using compilation settings. I tried -scale 0.8 mapname.bsp but it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do it?
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 08-30-2012
Copy your compiled map (bsp file) into the directory of q3map2 and type this into a console/terminal/shell:
Winblows:
Code:
q3map2 -scale 0.9 yourmap.bspLinux 32bit:
Code:
./q3map2.x86 -scale 0.9 yourmap.bspRE: Scaling the map - edh - 08-30-2012
Beware of strange lighting artifacts when scaling maps. Sometimes you end up having to relight after scaling and at other times it still gives things that are broken.
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 08-30-2012
Obviously you have to copy the lightmaps and such things to the scaled version too... I should have mentioned.

Some funny screenshots for you guys (I know how to scale now!):
HOW IT WAS:(try to find the items on these screenshots)

- crouch there!As you can see: I scaled down my map as requested.
(-scale 4 and -scale 0.35)
As far as I understand its up to one command to make a vehicle map
RE: Scaling the map - Mr. Bougo - 08-30-2012
That last screenshot is awesome
RE: Scaling the map - Justin - 08-30-2012
wonna see those from -scale 40 ?
It took me like half an hour to pass one half of the map.
RE: Scaling the map - Cyber Killer - 08-31-2012
Now that's a MEGA-health ;-D
As for large scale - there was a map for UT called the Hall of Giants, it was huge, but it was fun to play (and it had means of fast transport).
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 08-31-2012
Yeah this key is funny indeed...

PS: Because of this scaling I don't 'feel' my map's size anymore.
I also feel akward while playing normal sized maps...
RE: Scaling the map - rocknroll237 - 09-03-2012
Justin, release a massive version just for lulz!
RE: Scaling the map - Mr. Bougo - 09-03-2012
Please don't. Next thing you know, every server has it because it's "fun", even though it's just boring.
RE: Scaling the map - rocknroll237 - 09-03-2012
Spoilsport. Justin send me a pm with a d/l link!
Fine... I'll do it myself!
RE: Scaling the map - Cyber Killer - 09-03-2012
I still think it would be nice to have some of such huge open area maps in the game (but without nex or sniper)
RE: Scaling the map - Justin - 09-03-2012
Both of you: Believe me: It's a bad idea. There is no use scaling maps like that and also making extremly huge levels. They just don't play good. Rocknroll237: You can scale it by yourself (in the pk3 file I always add .map file). Just unpack the pk3 into your Xonotic/data/maps, then open the map in Radiant and customize build:
[q3map2] -scale 40 "[MapFile]" \\THIS ONE scales the map 40 times bigger
build it and you will get map_name_s.bsp
Then you simply launch it and have fun!
BTW: Mr. Bongo is right... as always.
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 09-03-2012
Ehm, you have to compile the bsp, not the map!
RE: Scaling the map - Cyber Killer - 09-04-2012
I didn't mean to have maps made huge by scaling. Just maps that are designed from the beginning to be large with open areas.
RE: Scaling the map - Justin - 09-04-2012
Maddin: I sometimes have the feeling that you say too much
. Hasn't anyone ever told you that? He has to compile the bsp yes, but first he has to have .bsp file in his data/maps, right?
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 09-04-2012
Sorry, what did I wrong?
I also don´t get your last comment.
RE: Scaling the map - Justin - 09-04-2012
Sorry. I did not mean to offend you. I was just saying that repetetively correcting me drives me crazy (last time I am beeing repetetivly corrected during my driving lessons - but I haven't killed any pedestrians yet, don't worry), but on a second thought I think I should be greatefull. thanks!
RE: Scaling the map - Maddin - 09-04-2012

I wasn´t offended at all but anyway I´m happy to get such a nice reaction from you.
Keep cool, just think of the sign of my current avatar when I´m too correctly... For those who don´t know what it means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om
