If you're having the compile of 6 seconds and no bsp, simply reinstall your game to /program files/lucasarts/swjk2 or make sure there are no spaces in whatever you install it in(not like the long winded, star wars jedi knight 2 outcast). That's the f...  [Read More]

I also read on a post to rename your map from something other than test.bsp. This sounds hokey, but try it before you try anything else....  [Read More]

Take your config file and /saves directory and back them up. (and whatever else). Uninstall and reinstall the game into this directory: C:/program files/lucasarts/SWJK2 When you unzip your tools, use this same directory, but with gamedata. C:/pro...  [Read More]

Heh, I just noticed JK2radiant doesn't even have a brush merge.. i noticed the sample maps also have a lot of intersects.. I take it these maps weren't optimized very well. I noticed teh texture aligning was way off too, this was noticable in game to...  [Read More]

JK1 used the Quake Engine, so theoreticly you could do basic stuff, but no curves. QEradiant is the same thing as Q3radiant which JK2radiant is based from. GTK is a LOT better: How about 3d freeroam, 64 undo levels, Undo something and it keeps tex a...  [Read More]

Does the texture have a white box around it in JK2radiant? If it doesn't, it's either not a shader or it's the wrong one to be using. A shader points to a texture and uses it, like the transparency. Radiant reads it, but it MAY or MAYNOT show a textu...  [Read More]
