Tiki QuakeEd Specs

Append to the end of all tiki files you make a QuakeEd footer which is outlined below.

This is so that the mappers can put your stuff in their levels and for general organization.

/*QUAKED Blah_Blah_blah (r g b)(0 0 0)(0 0 0)

Description

*/

The Blah_Blah_blah is the path it will take in the QeRadiant pull down. To see what I mean go into QeRadiant and right click anywhere on the map. A pull down menu will appear and you will notice what I mean. The '_' indecates a new branch.

Characters_Bob_BigBob

would look like:

Characters

|

_Bob

|

_BigBob

"R G B" indicates the color it should be represented by in QeRadiant.

The rest of the line indicates the bounding box which the model will take.

(0 0 0) sets it so the bounding box is set by the model.

So if we had these bad asses...
