NetRadiant setup for Quake 1

If you've been aggravated with setting up Quake with Radiant in the past, now's a good time to take another look with a current NetRadiant version.  Much easier, at least for Windows.

1.  Download and unzip the latest NetRadiant build from here:  http://ingar.satgnu.net/gtkradiant/
As of this writing, netradiant-20100214-win32.zip

2.  Find a simple example .map file and it's .wad(s) for testing.

3.  Put your .wad files in the /ID1 directory and .map files in ID1/maps, or in your mod directory if making a mod.

4.  Open the map.  There it is!

5.  Edit and save, no need for map translation tool.

6.  Long story short, it's simplest to run the compiling outside of NetRadiant.  But if you want to try building from the menu: Copy your bsp, vis, and light compiling tools of choice to the NetRadiant folder.  In the /q1.game folder, edit default_build_menu.xml to point build program vars to the compiling tools:
  <var name="bsp">"[RadiantPath]qbsp"</var>
  <var name="vis">"[RadiantPath]vis"</var>
  <var name="light">"[RadiantPath]light"</var>
Note that the build console won't show any messages by default.  This can be turned on by checking "build process monitor" in settings, but it will kick out after a few seconds.  Would like to find a way to modify this behavior.

"Lava monster" replacement model and m_gunner.c for kmquake2 here:
http://qbism.com/index.php?action=media;sa=item;in=11

 This is geared toward modders rather than end users, because game.dll must be recompiled for the animations and skins to work.  But the model demonstrates a work-flow for Kmquake2 features

Scripted textures, md3, milkshape source model included.
Used Quark to add additional skins per mesh to the compiled md3.  The md3 format supports this, but Quark is the only tool I know that can add the skins.  Warning, make sure to back up textures, Quark will overwrite!

Game dll must be compiled with m_gunner.c for proper animations.  The original gunner has a lot of wasted frames that I really didn't want to draw.  Compiling the code will be only a slight annoyance for a modder contemplating scripted skins/multi-skin/multi-mesh animated md3! Using the gunner animation as a base was just a convenient way to experiment with a combination of features I haven't seen anywhere else.  I'm more interested in unique mods ranging from milous' packs to Citizen Able than vanilla Q2 replacement packs.

<=================================== Purpose Of This Document ===================================>

This document is mainly aimed at the experienced Quake1 mapper (or player) and is intended as an
aid in developing maps and to get a better understanding of the build process. You won't find any
descriptions of basic mapping concepts and many terms are not explained here.

The Q1 tools described can be found at http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k and are highly recommended.
Some of the descriptions may fit other tools as well. See also the readme file for each tool.


<============================= Warning/Error Messages Of Build Tools ============================>

This list is far from complete, there are many more warning/error messages.
