I feel a little lame asking this, but how do i/what do i use to edit maps... I've used radiant, and hammer alot, but cant seem to fine teh files..... help me

All the infor you need is in Here...

Quick summary,
Make a new shortcut called Quake4Editor, and edit it to be...

"C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\Quake4.exe" +set com_allowConsole 1 +disconnect +editor

I also put out a new download... video tutorial getting started with Quake 4 mapping.

Hello.

I have created the shortcut on my desktop and the editor
opens fine.

But my screen colors are blured with which settings can i solve this?

I am not sure what you mean. Which screen colors are blurred? Do you mean the game looks blurred when you launch it from the desktop as opposed to launching from the Program Files shortcut?

If i open the editor with the "Quake 4 Editor" shortcut:

"C:\Program Files\id Software\Quake 4\Quake4.exe" +set com_allowConsole 1 +disconnect +editor

Seems that my screen brightness changes so the colors get
blurred.

Both windows desktop and the editor screen windows becomes brighter.
Have set "antialiasing" to "off"

Have tried to launch the editor from the console but i have
problems with the keyboard key "~" with which i can open the console with.
Due to international settings of my keyboard.

For Call of Duty i use the key left of my number "1" this is "@"
key to drop down the console.

ah. ok. The problem is with your video settings in the game. They will effect the editor. If watched the video, I went over this.

ok. open the game. set it to windowed mode. you might have to restart the game to make it take effect.

Now go into your video settings. lower the brightness untill the icons on your desktop look good. You should be able to see the icons around the windowed game.

IF you had played with the gamma, fix that too.

also, go into advanced option and make sure the anti-aliasing is turned OFF.

Now exit out of the game. Then try and start it from your shortcut. I am not sure how the +editor could effect the way it looks or works, but these options should help.

Problem solved.

I did have a look at your great tutorial again.
Did forget to bring down the brightness level from
within the game settings.
So no washed up colors anymore.

Now i only have to solve the issue with "~" to bring down the
console from within the game.

One more question where have you learned to speak like
that?

Did see a lot off tutorials on the internet but not so well spoken as this one.



Thanks for your great help.

haha. the MODSonair show has improved my speaking. thanks.

Hey all.

Thank you all. I got it working =). its very much like the CoD editor, so it'll be quite easy to pick up.

Ok my mate has tryed to get it working, but not luck. Q4 loades up, then Closes to Desktop..

(this is his code) "E:\Games\id Software\Quake 4\Quake4.exe" +set com_allowConsole 1 +disconnect +editor

Any ideas?

Sid out.
