Welcome, here you can find the latest version of Q3Map Explorer. In the future we will add some more information and possibly some tutorials and stuff like that. But for now it�s pretty empty here.

You can read more about Q3ME here if you would like some more information.

Here are the latest news about Q3ME:

Yes, I'm still alive. :)

First, the links on the download page didn't work due to some things out of my control. Fixed. Second, I have a new version of Q3ME in the works that I think some of you will find really useful. I'm not saying what, you will have to wait and see. :) I haven't had the time to finish it due to some real life issues but hopefully it will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Also the e-mail address both in the program and on this website don't work so if you want to send me any comments or suggestions send it to [email protected] instead.

Version 1.3 of Q3ME is now released both the plugin and the stand-alone version. Here's the change log from v1.21:

• Fixed some small thing with command templates.
• Changed some internal stuff for easy converting of Q3ME to a radiant plug in. (By changing a compile directive)
• Added the switch bot_enable to the quake3 tab.
• Q3ME has now support for region files (only the stand-alone version).
• CTF Gametype didn't work under the quake3 tab.
• Added command templates. (Toggable)
• Added more options for the size of the command line window, available sizes is hide, small and big.
• The devmap button now works even if a map file is selected in the file list.
• Added support for -vlight and the following switches: -v, -nostitching, -noalphashading, -nocolorshading, -patchshadows, -novertex, -nogrid and -samplesize.
• The bot page has now support for -forcesidesvisible and -grapplereach.
• Fixed the delete button in the arena editor.
• -breadthfirst was incorrectly spelled. Fixed.
• Removed -threads from bsp stage, not neaded.

Finally I've had the time neaded to finish the Radiant plugin version of Q3ME. This plugin replaces the Bsp menu in Radiant but you will still have the standard options in the menu (like Bsp FullVis (light -extra) etc).

You can also edit the batch script before you compile if you nead to add something not suported by the program.

The program also has a helper function for those nasty error messages that q3map and bspc are spitting out. Q3ME supports over 80 messages at this moment.

In the program you also find an Arena file editor. Well, arena files are easy to make but with the editor you can add bots by ticking a checkbox making it very easy to add the arena file.

The plugin version and the stand alone version is very similar in style and use.

To install the plugin just unzip the file in your tools folder. (eg. c:\quake3\tools).

New error report file is now available in the download section. Q3ME can now report over 80 errors for Q3Map and Bspc!

Version 1.2 of Q3Map Explorer is released. The new version has support for compiling and running maps from a mod folder. The new version also has a report function that scans your compiler log files for errors and presents a report of them. In this report you can get an explanation of the error and a solution to the problem.

Here's a list of other things added/fixed.

• Run Q3A now works correctly.
• The Devmap button now works correctly.
• The replace window in the build options tab now shows the current build description.
• Added support for the bspc log file.
• Removed the path to the map when using +map/+devmap with quake3.
• Added custom gametype option to the Quake3 tab.
• Added a "timelimit" field to the arena editor.
• Added a "Save as batch file" function.

I've added a new section with a list of some of Q3Map's and Bspc's compiler error messages. This list is already implemented in the not yet released version of Q3ME. If you find any bugs please report them to me at [email protected].

The new version of Q3ME is comming along nicely, I've fixed a lot of things in this build and added some new features. Here are a list of some of things added/fixed:

• Now it's optional if doubleclicking on the trayicon restores the program or starts a build.
• Run Q3A now works correctly.
• Q3ME can now compile and run maps from a mod directory.
• The Devmap button now works correctly.
• Q3ME would view a file not found messages and terminate if there wasn't a maps folder inside baseq3. Fixed.
• The replace window in the build options tab now shows the current build description.
• Added support for bspc log file. Q3ME removes a lot of repetitive lines because of the way bspc saves the log file. I think this was the right thing to do.
• Removed the path to the map when using +map/+devmap with quake3.
• Now you can click on a button in the compiler log window and it will scan your log files for errors and do a report on them! This report gives you an explanation of the error and a solution to the problem. As of this moment, Q3ME finds and does a report of 22 error messages.
• Added custom gametype option to the Quake3 tab.
