Quakompiler – A modern compiling GUI for Quake engines

Quakompiler is a Quake engine compiler GUI by me, made in Godot.

Features

• Runs natively on Windows and Linux – no installation necessary
• Compile BSP, VIS or LIGHT stages individually or multiple stages one after another at the click of a button
• Add custom switches to all stages
• Various hotkeys. Once you have set up all your paths and switches, you can compile and launch your map at the press of a single button
• Detailed help dialogues for each section
• Full keyboard support – Quakompile can be used without a mouse
• Responsive, resizeable UI. Window size and position are stored between sessions
• Settings are automatically stored in a config.ini file that can be edited with any text editor

Future development

Quakompiler is usable in its current state, but still early in development. Planned features include:

• Quake 2 support
• Quake 3 support
• Presets for different configurations
• Custom toggle buttons for switches
• batch/sh file generation

For a full list of issues and planned features, take a look at the issue tracker on Github. Feel free to add to it, either on Github, on the Steam Guide, or by contacting me.
