AAS error


(BrushBaron) #1

In my map I have a ai_partisan, 5 ai_markers and a single player start. I compile the map with bsp, vis, and then bspc. I have no lights so I skip the lighting. When I load up the map in Wolf, I get the error:

Error: AAS_PointAreaNum: aas not loaded.

Yet I look in my maps dir I see a ai01.aas and my bsp is ai01.bsp.

Thanks,

u should have two .aas in your map folder:
mapname_b0.aas and mapname_b1.aas.
if u only have one aas file theres definately something wrong. what did u use for bspc?


(BrushBaron) #3

The following is what I used. I’m gonna see if the wolftools has their own bspc compiler.

Opened log bspc.log
BSPC version 2.1c by Mr Elusive
GtkRadiant 1.2.1-nightly Jan 13 2002
Usage: bspc [-<switch> [-<switch> …]]
Example 1: bspc -bsp2aas d:\quake3\baseq3\maps\mymap?.bsp
Example 2: bspc -bsp2aas d:\quake3\baseq3\pak0.pk3\maps/q3dm*.bsp

if you’re using GTK to make your maps there is actually a help file in the ‘help’ menu… the info relating to aas file for RtCW are right down the bottom but it should go a little bit like this… (cue music…)

bspc -threads 1 -ext _b1 -cfg aascfg_lg.c -bsp2aas c:\maps\yourmap.bsp -optimize

the 2nd is…

bspc -threads 1 -ext _b0 -cfg aascfg_sm.c -bsp2aas c:\maps\yourmap.bsp -optimize

(the ‘-optimize’ switch is optional and results in smaller file sizes)

Right. Well there must be something completely strange with my setup then, as I cannot get this .aas thing to work at all.

When I run the first of the above commands I get…

unknown parameter -ext

If I remove the -ext option, I get…

error: file aascfg_sm.c, line 65: unknown structure field rs_allowladders

Maybe I have a funny version of bspc? Where do I get a new one? The version I have is 2.1h.

jAll help appreciated

oki, u could try this:
go to http://kickme.to/nightwulf
unfortunately its a german site, anyway, there u go to >tutorials<, 2nd tut >aas dateien erstellen<, and there u can grab the file >makeaas.bat< (the download is included in the text, underlined).
copy it into ya radiant folder within ya rtcw folder.
then go to windows dos and type >command<.
when the black dos window opens type:

C: (the drive where u ve wolfer installed)
cd return~1
cd radiant
makeaas mapname

possibly u have to add lines to the path depending on ya rtcw installation path. donno if that helps u but its a chance.

hmmm, that is odd, looks like you’re not using the right bspc.exe (could have got borked during install…?!) esp as it’a not seeing ladders…

check your mail… I’ve sent you a ‘working’ version of bspc.exe

:banana:

Bewdy! Got it sorted thanks to Kat. Turned out the bspc.exe that I had was yonks old. Don’t know how that happened, but there you go.

Thanks to Kat for the help, and disTrust for another invaluable link (even if I don’t speak German!) :wink:
