Making Maps on PPC

[xid]

how would you edit a map in notepad? you mean the code?

[Paul]

yeah the brushes are in a text file (the .bsp, .map whatever) that can be edited. i've never done it though

[randall]

I've used notepad to edit entities, flags and textures, sound... simple stuff like that. I wouldn't venture into editing the brush coordinates though. Not without seeing some kind of graphical reference.

I tried opening my map with the pocket ppc notepad but it wont list it as a readable file, and pocket note doesnt let you open files by searching for them like a regualr pc.

It won't do much good to open the *.map file on your PocketPC and edit it. You couldn't recompile and run it.<br><br>Anyway, you can modify it in Pocket Notepad if you want. Just open pNotepad and select "open" from the menu. Initially, it will only display *.txt files, but you can change that to *.* (all files).<br><br>This is how I edit my autoexec.cfg files on the PocketPC, and you can pretty much do the same with any file that isn't an executable.

PocketNotepad by TillanoSoft ( http://tillanosoft.com ) I don't know if it is still free, or if there are better Notepads out there. This one works so I have kept it.<br><br>It is pretty much like the standard Windows Notepad- File>>Open opens a dialog box. From there you can choose the directory (All folders or Templates) and the file type (*.txt or *.*)

[randall]

I use it to edit simple files like autoexec.cfg, and write HTML, JavaScript and EVEN SHORTCUTS!<br><br>It is probably one of the most used apps on my PPC- I'll never use PocketWord unless I am forced to by gunpoint.
