There's a tutorial on how to setup QuArK on nsworld <a href='http://nsworld.ns-central.co.uk/mappingguide/appendix9.htm' target='_blank'>here</a>. It was made for WON so its a bit outdated (QuArK doesn't require "python" anymore, it's now bundled). Get the latest compile tools in the main mapping forum (sticky post) and the <a href='http://www.student.citg.tudelft.nl/c9375215/QuArK_NS3_support.zip' target='_blank'>latest QuArK .qrk plugin for NS</a> and follow instructions on the tutorial to install/setup.

Here's what i changed to get it to work with steam;

- If you choose to use hl.wad, liquids.wad, etc... QuArK will not find them cause they are now in .gcf files and QuArK cannot read in .gcf files yet (just like hammer i think). Get <a href='http://countermap.counter-strike.net/Nemesis/' target='_blank'>GCFScape</a>, and use it to extract those .wads into your half-life/valve directory. Example; X:\SteamGames\your@email.com\half-life\valve. Of course if you still have your WON installation, you can just copy em from there (that's what i did).

- For NS, <i>if i remember correctly</i>, the NS .qrk plugin you installed in QuArK will point to a /ns directory by default (not /nsp). So to find the NS textures, QuArK will look in /ns and find nothing. The quick solution i found, was copy/pasting my /nsp directory into a new directory called /ns and use this directory for mapping. It has some advantages; you can use different settings to check/test your maps than you do for playing NS (cheat binds, binds for bots, stuff like that)

Good luck with QuArK.
