Quake Nav Depot

This is a repository for Quake 2021 Enhanced bot navigation files where the community can download, edit and contribute.

The goal is to be the place where you can gather the best bot navigation files for any Quake map that exists.

How to download

On the right side of the page, you'll find under 'Releases' a package containing all the .nav files in the repository. Extract the zip into your /rerelease folder and you're good to go! Or pick and choose the .nav files from the zip if you wish.

Alternatively if you want to download a single navigation file for a map, you're going to need nav2json. This tool allows you to convert from .navjson to .nav.

  1. Navigate to the nav you want to download.
  2. Right-click on the 'Raw' button and do 'Save Link As...'
  3. Drag and drop the .navjson file into nav2json.exe. This will convert the .navjson to .nav
  4. Place the resulting .nav file into the bot navigation folder (eg: id1/bots/navigation)
  5. Done!

How to contribute

Regardless if you're improving an existing navigation or adding a whole new map, you're welcome to! Just make sure to read and understand the license first.

Make a Pull Request with your changes in order to able to contribute. If you're not sure what that is, we recommend to read up on Github Pull Requests (at some point we'll have better documentation here about it).

Remember to add yourself to the "Contributors" field in the .navjson. If you're uploading a new map, make sure to fill out the map information fields as well.

License

@JPiolho: I'm not lawyer so I hope the license is enough, but the main purpose of this license is to give some clarity to 'copyrights' and similar stuff. As we've seen with Quake Enhanced there are some copyright hell regarding some community mods which make it hard to impossible to track down all the authors of some mod to be able to include it 'officially' for example.

TLDR:

  • Free to use the navigation files for any purpose as long as, bare minimum, credited that it came from 'Quake Nav Depot'.
  • Any work contributed or uploaded to the depot becomes covered by the license
