Q3map2 helper

Description

This Q3map2 helper is a tool to simplify usual boring tasks like creating minimaps or navmeshes.

This tool was written to be used by Unvanquished's mappers. A better one will be rewritten later.

This tool use q3map2 from NetRadiant for any tasks except it uses daemonmap for navmesh generation, you can configure it to use daemonmap instead of q3map2 or the opposite. This tool uses crunch or convert from ImageMagick to compress minimaps.

./q3map2_helper.sh --minimap map-sweet.pk3dir/maps/sweet.bsp
	create map-sweet.pk3dir/minimaps/sweet.crn and map-sweet.pk3dir/minimaps/sweet.minimap
./q3map2_helper.sh --navmesh map-sweet.pk3dir/maps/sweet.bsp
	create map-sweet.pk3dir/maps/sweet-*.navMesh files
