Description
This is a very basic Quake 3 BSP renderer.
Download
You will find a Win32/Linux compiled version in the download section of
NeHe's site
Using this demo
To run this program, you will need .pk3 files from Quake 3 Arena or
Return to Castle Wolfenstein. You can also grab an archive that contains the 4 maps
of the Quake 3 Arena demo
here
(from the cake homepage).
Before running the demo, you will have to edit the config.lua file.
This is where you will specify the path to the pk3 files and the name
of the map you wish to view. A typical config.lua file looks like this:
-- [[ Quake 3 Arena, demo version
-- The pak0.zip file must be in the same directory as q3view.exe
pak_path="pak0.zip" -- the path to the pak files.
map_name="q3dm1" -- the name of the map.
--]]
A few tips about the config file (it is a Lua file):
-
Comments start with --.
Block comments are enclosed between --[[ and ]].
-
You can define intermediate variable and use the .. operator to concatenate
strings.
To use this demo, just run the q3view binary.
Here are the useful controls:
- e : move forward.
- x : move backward.
- s : move left.
- d : move right.
- r : move up.
