Quake Army Knife tools paths and files short explanation

 

You may have different tools versions

In Quake Army Knife, click ,,options,, in the uper tab inside the editor, click ,,configuration,, and inside the ,,Games,, line go to ,,Quake 2,, and give path to qbsp310.exe, timvis3.exe and arghrad.exe. They are tools for the editor to work. 

The qbsp makes a bsp file along your map file.

Timvis involves making sure that brushes etc. work within the editor. Errors will be showned in the editor console if not.

Arghrad provides : 

,,Sunlight options, Entity brush models can cast light, provides many more surface light options, Phong shading for simulating curves,,

 Some stuff inside a map. file 

 

 

Some stuff inside a qkm. file 

The .bsp file is the file that your game will use, when you run it. If in Quake 2 console you write map your map name, it will run or you can run the map with Quake Army Knife directly. 

Be sure that in your Quake 2 shortcut, +set game roarke is written in the Target box.

From the editor,  a .map file is the file saved from Quake Army Knife (can be opened later and edited further, but the prefab parts will be saved in the map structure and functions in entities). 

A .qkm file will have the prefab parts and functions like you did it originaly.

.QRK file are used by the editor. 

You can make your own for other Quke 2, Half-Life etc. mods. My brother and i made Dawn of Darkness mod .qrk file. 

They reside in the Quake Army Knife addons folder (there each game has its own folder, but your .QRK file you made reside in the main addons folder).

Don't mistake a .qrk file with the .qkm file above !
