Hi all, fellow mapping enthusiast here

Hi all,

just wanted to say "hi", I am super new to Xonotic and want to build my own maps for the game.
I have quite some mapping experience (built tons of maps for counterstrike source) and also spent quite some time during the last 8 years doing gamedevelopment using the Godot game engine.
Lately I just wanted to get back to "simple" mapping without all the hassle of programming the actual game and stumbled over Xonotic. The game looks and feels great and I wanted to give it a try

Currently still struggling a bit with setup to get everything going, but am hoping to get my issues resolved with the help of the community here!
There doesn't seem to be a lot of activity here, but it also doesn't seem to be super dead!

Cheers to all

Hello and welcome!

Great to see a new mapper among us

Feel free to check out the mapping wiki: https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/-/wikis/home#mapping
It’s not quite complete yet, but it covers the setup, whether you’re using NetRadiant or NetRadiant-custom (which is a popular fork of the former).

If you’re using the pre-compiled version of NetRadiant available at https://netradiant.gitlab.io/, I’d also advise you to update the Xonotic gamepack, as this version is now 4 years old.
The latest pre-compiled version of NetRadiant-custom should already include the latest Xonotic gamepack.
