Compiling with Q3MAP2 for Quake 3

The first thing you should know about compiling a map into a bsp for quake III arena is that theres another application involved. It's called Q3MAP2 by ydnar. It's a cmd window program that's run using either a command line, a batch file, a GUI or through the bsp menu in GTKRadiant.
