Introductory Tutorials - Compiling Q3 Without MSVC++
For those of you on a budget :)

This one is fairly simple.
First, get this file, also the Quake 3 Source (duh! :) and if you haven't already, the point release.

Make sure Quake 3 is installed to X:\QUAKE3\ (where X is any drive you like!) and install both the point release and source code there. Then, extract the "include.zip" to X:\QUAKE3\SOURCE\LCC\BIN\INCLUDE\.

Next, edit C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Add this extra text on the end of your PATH statement.


PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\QUAKE3\BIN_NT;

DO NOT USE MY PATH LINE IN YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE. Simply add the last part, "C:\QUAKE3\BIN_NT;" and make sure the drive is the correct letter.

And that's basically it. Go to X:\QUAKE3\SOURCE\GAME\, and you can run "game.bat" to compile the source code, which will generate a "qagame.vm" file in X:\QUAKE3\BASEQ3\VM\. Just copy that to X:\QUAKE3\YourMod\VM\, and run Quake 3 like this:


quake3 +set fs_game YourMod

Of course change "YourMod" to well, anything you like. Have fun!
