This is the discussion for the Quake Modding - FTEQW and DOS - TrenchBroom - #0 Setup video. If you run into any issues please comment below and we'll see about fixing that issue.
So in order for this tutorial to work you will need a copy of Quake. Disc or Steam version will suffice.
Buy Quake on Steam
You will also need our FTEQW engine, mapping tools and wad files.
FTEQW - Advanced modern Quake Engine supporting a huge variety of platforms and graphics options/API's
TrenchBroom - Map editor
EricWA - BSP, VIS and Lighting tools
EricWA Docs - Documentation for the EricWA tools
WADS - Quake texture data
TrenchBroom map compile options - In order they need to be
Name -> Basic Compile
Working Directory -> ${MAP_DIR_PATH}
Export Map(default is fine)
Run Tool (QBSP)
Select qbsp or vis.exe(Windows) for the tool
Parameters -> ${MAP_BASE_NAME}-compile.map ${MAP_BASE_NAME}.bsp
Run Tool (VIS)
Select vis or vis.exe(Windows) for the tool
Parameters -> ${MAP_BASE_NAME}.bsp
Run Tool (LIGHT)
Select light or light.exe(Windows) for the tool
Parameters -> ${MAP_BASE_NAME}.bsp
Copy Files(BSP)
Source -> ${WORK_DIR_PATH}/${MAP_BASE_NAME}.bsp
Target -> ${GAME_DIR_PATH}/id1/maps/${MAP_BASE_NAME}.bsp
Copy Files(LIT) <- Colored Lightmaps
Source -> ${WORK_DIR_PATH}/${MAP_BASE_NAME}.lit
Target -> ${GAME_DIR_PATH}/id1/maps/${MAP_BASE_NAME}.lit
Copy Files(LUX) <- Directional light directional data. Use -lux in the light parameters
Source -> ${WORK_DIR_PATH}/${MAP_BASE_NAME}.lux

For the DOS setup just duplicate Basic-Compile and change the Copyfiles to the exact path of your DOS directory.
