World of Padman started with its first release as a modification of the game Quake 3 Arena back in the year 2004, after about 2 years in development. Since April 1st 2007 it has appeared as an standalone game and is available for download in version 1.6 by now.
Everything that is needed and considered for creating own maps and modifications should be found here in the tutorials for World of Padman. If things appear incomprehensible or are explained insufficiently, please feel free to contact us. We also offer an editing forum on ModDB or an editing channel on Discord. Probably it is better to post there for further questions and deeper discussions. We are open for any suggestions and constructive criticism and are pleased about any feedback.
With the the following links we collected some useful information and tutorials to start with, because those mainly deal with the basics of mapping. Our tutorials are partly based on that content and mainly discuss requirements and features of World of Padman. Therefore we recommend to have a look at it before.
