Can someone please give me a link to a tutorial on how to load and display q1 maps?!
a link to some kind of sourcecode would also be fine… (not q1source 
A good place to start might be:
http://cs-people.bu.edu/jisidoro/cs480/
take a look at programming assignment #4 (this is the page for intro computer graphics at Boston University Spring of 2000).
