[etpromapscript] totally scripted map possible?

[nUllSkillZ]

Hi,

would a totally scripted map be possible?

I guess you could make a mapscript to create each brush.

I think the map itself still needs a worldspawn though, to load.

It'd probably be impossible to do vis portals though, and it would probably just be leaked and wouldnt work, since I highly doubt mapscripts can put new structural brushes into effect.

So, Yes, but you'd need a giant box map .bsp to make the map inside so its not leaked, and it'd be a retarded idea.

ETQW is rumored to be almost entirely driven by the script. That should make it a whole lot easier to tweak/repair most (if not all) game events.

Q3 mod called Hunt can create random map from brush presets

This would be very limited, since fake brushes are limited to invisible boxes. All your visible geometry would have to be models.

Correct. Game code does not have the ability to alter the BSP or vis data.

You would also very quickly run into entity limits. Peformance would also suffer. Maps are pre-compiled for a reason
