4 How to get your system all set up to start mapping
5 --------------------------------------------------
7 ### Step 1 — Obtain mapping support
9 If you didn’t already, download this … http://dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.8.1-mappingsupport.zip
11 ### Step 2 — Extract zip
13 Extract the .zip archive using your favorite archiving tool
15 ### Step 3 — Find the magic folders
17 Locate your .xonotic folder, note that this is NOT the install location. This is the place xonotic saves your config.
19 - on linux this should be in `~/.xonotic`
20 - on windows (7) its in `\users\user\saved games\xonotic`
21 - on mac … its in `~/libraries/appdata` ?? maybe ??
23 ### Step 4 — Understand the magic folders
25 if/when you find both of these folders, you will see that both of them contain a data folder. Game wise these data folders are treated the same, however, it is best to save your work in the .xonotic folder so that you don’t accidentally mess up your xonotic install, or so that your work doesn’t get lost in an update.
27 ### Step 5 — Moving stuff
29 remember that zip we extracted? There should be 2 folders in it.
31 - data (yes … another data folder)
34 First open up the data folder and find the .pk3 file. (may look similar to xonotic-maps-mapping.pk3)Then take the pk3 and copy it to xonotic/data Note, .pk3 is really a renamed .zip. DONT extract it.
36 editors note :: is this step required … im not sure —\> Now take the mapping folder and move it to the root of .xonotic (dont put it in any of the data folders)
38 ### Step 6 — Get net-radaint working
40 - WINDOWS, you are ready to go just double click on radiant.exe
41 - LINUX users may have to compile theirs, don’t worry, netradaint is rather easy to compile. If you need help ask on the forums, or irc
42 - MAC … um … its possible … but complicated … someone who knows how should edit this… and you will probably need OSX 10.5 or greater
44 ### Step 7 — Setting up netradiant
46 When you first start up radiant it may ask where the install location is. Simply, point it to the install location. Then net radaint should start,and the lower right pane should have lists of texture packs. If there are no texture packs, then refer back to step 5.
