I guess for water and lava you just make a block and apply the water/lava texture to it. Check out this great worldcraft tutorial: http://www.quake-1.com/wc16a-tutorial.....

"Making water is actually pretty darn easy, make a brush, then select it. Select the water texture you want, and then click the apply current texture button. Done, BSP will take care of the rest. In order to work properly, all the faces of that particular brush must have the same texture on them, so don't do anything funny with texture application mode on liquid and sky brushes. "

and for your second problem, you need to convert kurok wad to .hlwad; to do this, put kurok.wad into the textures folder of worldcraft, then run that program called "all-wads-to-hlwad." It'll convert all the wads in the folder to hlwad. Then you should be able to load kurok.hlwad in worldcraft.

Great tutorial but i have a problem:

When i add this file: quake-defs-by-czg.fgd
It comes up with some error at the bottom of the screen. How do i fix it? Also on the forum where i downloaded the file, everytime i left clicked the link Adobe Flash Player would load but it wouldn't do anything after its finished loading. So i right clicked the link and click "Save Target As" and it says that it would save as a .dl file so i changed it to .fgd by renaming from "quake-defs-by-czg" to "quake-defs-by-czg.fgd"
Is this the reason why the error popped up? Or is it supposed to pop up? If i was supposed to do something else plz tell me. Thx for the support

EDIT:
Its not rly an error it was just saying that kill_counter had too many units or something like that but it isn't popping up any more

But i have another problem :/ i'm trying to make Kurok maps. They work on uake but when i play them on Kurok the game trails whenever i turn. Its like if you turn the water transparency on zero in Quake. How do i fix this?

I have solved the non compiling problem, on a vista O_o but seriously, to forget to tell us making a new game set up profile removes everything from the "build programs" tab was like writing a book for dummies that includes algebra.

copy paste the quake setting into this tab aswell, and for the game exacutable find one that works well on your system

hopefully now we can all enjoy this amazing revelation that is quake psp O_o anyone want to help me impliment stabby knife alla cod:mw2?

also prog files/worldcraft/textures/ dump your wad here and click "all to hlwad" thing and bam, this feels so much easier now i'm learning some dos and such

please include this info as an edit to the main article, it is beyond useful, its needed. took me half a year to compile a room because I lacked the knowledge...

So quick question, how could I, if possible, insert a zombie spawn into a custom Kurok map without an army man spawning there?

I have a problem, I can't convert the wad file to hlwd file(kurok.wad). Whenever I executed the change wad to hlwd, This just shows up:

Code:

Not sure what would cause it to not be able to convert the kurok.wad, but here, have mine:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/jrjutqmex ... xtures.zip

That's got both kurok.wad and kurok.hlwad. They both work perfectly fine with my WorldCraft, so you shouldn't have any problems with it if you just throw them both in your Worldcraft/textures directory.

Any idea why, whereever i place my info_player_start the player ALWAYS spawns at the origin?(This is in singleplayer). I've also tried using the other player entities (info_player_start2, info_player_coop, info_player_deathmatch (which i doubt do anything in singleplayer anyway)) but the player still spawns at the origin.

Any ideas?

Other than that, everything else works (lights, textures etc).

Not sure why that'd be happening. Make sure your start is above the ground (even if by just a few units), just to make sure, and also make sure you've got Kurok's .fgd file set up correctly in Worldcraft's Game Configurations -> Game Data Files section. And if you're trying your map in the PSP Kurok, and loading it from the title screen, you'll need to have an info_player_deathmatch in there as well, as Kurok automatically loads maps from the title screen in deathmatch mode.

Other than that, I'm not sure what could be going wrong, unless your compiler is somehow screwing something up...
