Mapping - Setup =============== How to get your system all set up to start mapping -------------------------------------------------- ### Step 1: Obtain mapping support If you didn’t already, download the [mapping support zip](http://dl.xonotic.org/xonotic-0.8.2-mappingsupport.zip) ### Step 2: Extract zip Extract the zip archive using your favorite archiving tool ### Step 3: Locate the folder for userdata Locate your userdata folder, note that this is **NOT** the install location. This is the place xonotic saves your userdata. - **Windows**: `C:\users\user\saved games\xonotic\data` - **Linux**: `~/.xonotic/data` - **Mac**: `~/Library/Application Support/xonotic/data` This folder has a similar layout as the game folder. Game wise these data folders are treated similarly, however, it is best to save your work in the userdata folder so that you don’t accidentally mess up your Xonotic install, or so that your work doesn’t get lost in an update. ### Step 4: Moving the mapping support pk3 The mapping support zip contains a file called `xonotic--maps-mapping.pk3`. Move this file to the userdata folder (see step 3), **NOT** `data/data`. This folder should also contain your `config.cfg`. ### Step 5: Get NetRadiant working - **Windows**: Windows users can download a precompiled version downloadable from the [NetRadiant website](https://netradiant.gitlab.io/page/download/). The mapping support zip also contains a compiled version of NetRadiant in the `mapping` folder but while it may works, it is fairly outdated and lacks a lot of updates. - **Linux**: Linux users can use a precompiled version downloadable from the [NetRadiant website](https://netradiant.gitlab.io/page/download/). - **macOS**: Current versions of macOS don't seem to work because of GTKGLExt, compiled versions from [here](http://ingar.intranifty.net/gtkradiant/index.html) might work People wanting to compile NetRadiant themselves can look at the [NetRadiant Repository](https://gitlab.com/xonotic/netradiant). ### Step 6: Setting up NetRadiant When you first start up radiant it may ask where the engine path is. Simply, point it to the xonotic install location. Then NetRadiant should start,and the lower right pane should have lists of texture packs. If there are no texture packs, then refer back to step 4. \<\< [Introduction](mapping-Introduction) | [NetRadiant](mapping-NetRadiant) \>\> … [Creating_Maps](Creating-Maps) …
