I dont get it I have 40 gb free left on my drive that quake III arena is on, and the C:\ directory has 20gb left free, my ram is fully funtional (1gb) and no other programs are running when I use Radiant, Im thinking maybe an uninstall - reinstall?

After uninstalling and reinstalling GTk radiant it seems to be working fine now, I uninstalled some other unused programs along with it, so I suppose that might have helped to. If anyone else may encounter this problem, maybe it needs a good ol restart Happy

Ok, finally I am getting ready to create the pk3. As reading from bubbas website... I need levelshots, maps, scripts, sounds, (which I haven't added so not needed I think) and textures. It says inside of the baseq3 folder is all I need, but the following I have question on:

Levelshots - Does it have to be a specific size? I realize it must be .jpg

Maps - Says I need the .bsp which I have, and the .ass file that I cannot find anywhere.

Scripts - Says I need the .arena file, cannot find that either

Sounds - No help needed

Textures - Do I just copy the folder from c:\Programs\Quake III Arena\BaseQ3/textures or use the only added textures that I used that do no reside in the GTK radiant files.

And after all that I was wondering if I could get a copy of the pakscape or any other zipper like that because for the fileplanet download you must be a member and I dont feel like paying for it, the free version doesnt work. If any or all of these can be answered that would be great thanks Big grin

Q3Map2: (final) BSP -meta, -vis, -light -filter -super 2 -bounce 8

Q3Map2: (final) BSP -meta, -vis, -light -filter -super 2

Which should I use for final compilation?

*note* how long will it also take?

After doing a small compile Im noticing that when I launch the map it still isnt showing the level shot that I made. It is a jpg and its inside of the pk3 file under its own folder as suggested.

Edited the image inside of Psp 10 to a .tga file adn it works now. I suppose an even easier way would be to instead of taking a screenshotjpeg is to just take a screenshot and it will create the tga file

I'm pleased to announce to say, FINALLY! I have my map completed :!: I'm still considering if I should sent it out to anyone, in my opinion after all I have learned I know I can do better. Thanks sota and sun*mon for taking my offer of hosting the map, I will let you know later to use this one or if Im going to create another one. And thanks Oldvamp too Big grin you've been a great help. Please though, keep an eye out on this topic, I still may have future questions Big grin
