(thanks rocknroll237 for pointing that one out)

And something that every mapper who wants to create competitive maps should read at least once: wviperw's competitive design guide

Meh. I expected some links already posted by the topic starter.

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.

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.

Yeah its exactly the same..

I tried it today and failed horribly.

Need more tutorials.

No need for rewrites.

There is enough documentation on internet.

I'll make one for the basics anyway. I've already started it, might as well finish.

Please do.

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 ?

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 found these very helpful for the beginning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc13oaUau7c

q3 tuts

I downloaded NetRadiant too and understand almost everything (also watched some videos on youtube).

But I have 1 question. Hw to get textures? My texture browser is empty .
Do I have to make them myself, if yes how?
Or did I just forget 1 important thing

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/

Thanks, I'll try!

[Ofc I already downloaded Xonotic.]

I tested but it doesn't work

I still cant click on my tex. browser. I can see the icon but it is grey and I click. Someone help me!

It finally works! Thank you!

I'll make an ONS map now.

I'd like to add those links as I myself am starting learning stuff about Q3 shaders.
