What is Tool Box Navigator? TB Navigator is simply an interface to make working with Quake-based games easier. It allows you to quickly browse your game mod directories and select files you want to work with. The program comes with Special Editions of the Tool Box Compilation Controller and Tool Box Map Text Editor, both integrated to work through the Navigator interface. TB Navigator takes advantage of the consistent structure of Quake mod directories to allow the program to handle the details of game-making while you concentrate on the content. Navigator automatically tracks which mod directory you are currently working in. It's Directory Manager lets you decide which directories you want to see in the display. When you compile a map file, it detects if the file resides outside the mod directory, and automatically copies it to the proper location before compiling. The easy to use Filter Manager lets you create custom views of your directories, eliminating the clutter that can make you scroll through dozens of files to find the one you want. When you want to run a compiled BSP file in your game, Navigator creates the appropriate command line for you, and launches the game. Tool Box Navigator is designed to make you more productive without getting in the way. With a single click you can compile multiple maps, while Navigator shuts-down completely to free-up precious system resources. When the compile finishes, Navigator restarts and presents you with a log of the session. If resources aren't a problem, you can disable auto shut-down. TB Navigator is completely open-ended. It will work with ANY Quake-based game that follows these rules:
That's it! Any game that uses the Quake, Quake2, Quake3, or some variant engine such as Half-Life, will work with TB Navigator! |
