1.3.2.1. Specific games | [ Prev - Up - Next ]

Each kind of FPS-game has its own setup-options and build tools. In these folders, you must specify, for the FPS-games you want to develop for, where you've installed the game, how it should be started and with what command-line arguments it should run. You must also specify where QuArK can find the specific build tools, which are needed to build (compile) a map to something that the FPS-game can read and understand. On http://quark.planetquake.gamespy.com/download_tools.php3 you can find file-archives with build tools for the FPS-games that QuArK supports. A build tool set typically consists of three or four different programs; one to convert .MAP files into .BSP files (QBSP, TXQBSP), one to optimize the drawing of visible walls/floors in-game (VIS, QVIS), one to put lighting into the level (LIGHT, QRAD, ARGHRAD), one to create AI pathfinding (BSPC) (not always applicable). With the release of QuArK 6.2, you now have more control of which build-tools should run, and in what order. There is place for up to nine different build-tools, per game. With the standard installation of QuArK, these build-tools are set to default values, which definitely does not conform to your own directory-paths. The first thing you need to do, is to tell QuArK where it can find the build-tools, and if you use other named build-tools than the default supplied, you need to change that too. There are lot of useful information to be found, regarding the QuArK build-tool configuration, in the fly-over hints. So keep your mouse-cursor steady on an item and read the hint.
