Chameleon

Texture replacement editor for the Quake 3 map format

Features

Chameleon is a standalone GUI-based texture replacement editor written in Python and PyQt. Its main task is replacing a number of textures inside a .map file while applying scale factors and rotation to all affected surfaces. It allows you to:

• Replace old-fashioned textures with high resolution ones without loosing the alignment
• Choose the target shader/texture from a cached database
• Create and export replacement rulesets for later use

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.3
