|
engine editing. The sites listed here provide a variety of
|
|
useful editing resources.

<p><div style = "margin-left: 2em"><b>Disclaimer:</b> Most of these sites are established, heavily
|
|
trafficked web pages with a history of stability. But, because

|
these sites are not maintained by id Software, we make no claims
|

that they will be there when you go looking for them or that they
|

will still have the information of the type you are seeking.</div>

Used with care, it can make some very interesting irregular

<div class = "subheading">Gamedesign.net Prefabs</div>

|
|
|
|
<br>This Rust's source for prefabricated map plug-ins. These here

are in the form of .map files instead of <i>Quake III Arena's</i>

native .pfb format.

|
|
|
<br>These are prefabs designed for use with <i>Quake</i> and <i>
|
|
Quake 2</i>, which means the ones with movement or action gimmicks
|
|
most likely will not work. And of course, you'll need to
|
|
retexture anything you find here if it's not a <i>Quake III
|
|
Arena</i> prefab.

<br>This site answers a lot of questions about map making, model

<br>This is the official FAQ, created and maintained by id Software.

Most of the information pertains to general problems players

encounter with Quake III Arena, and doesn't have a lot to do with

|
map making.
