Things are just getting started.. isn't it more fun to participate then just see everything done already? There are quite some good links and posts in the "old" forum. Helping them getting "ported" over would be great :-)

I'm quite new to the Nexuiz/Xonotic community, but I've played the game itself a lot last year. If anyone wants to port over those tutorials, that'd be great for me. Tongue

Assuming mapping is the exact same as thegamethatshallnotbenamed then I'll maybe write a tutorial if I get the time. I promise it will be just as half assed as all my other work.

There is enough documentation on internet.

On another note there is this thread on the AT forum. I think a fair number of the links are broken but it should provide some useful stuff:

What is the difference between GTKRadiant and NetRadiant ?
To create map for Xonotic what should i use ?
Reply

#14
Netradiant, as it has some useful patches for both the program and both q3map2 that GtkRadiant does not have. Also, Netradiant supports Nexuiz/Xonotic out of the box.

Anyone interested in showing what netradiant can do with all the new features and old .
over time ive picked up some shortcuts and found new ways to do things . like for instance i made a terrain using imgtomap . i set its texture and didnt like how it turned out . So instead of shift+clicking each triangle i used ctrl+alt+e , and that selected all of the terrain pieces to easily retexture it . This method only seems to work on func_grouped brushes .
so i guess im asking if there is an easy to understand manual , or if someone can make one . heh i wouldnt mind knowing if there is an easy way to select many faces at the same time thats only seen by the player.

maybe i should start a netradiant tips thread .
I have no signature . That is all .

Hey I started mapping since today (at least trying too).
You need to download Xonotic 0.1 preview and unpack it. Then in netradiant set the path to it: under "edit -> Preferences -> Settings -> Path"
On my system its /home/oib/Desktop/Xonotic/
