BSP Hates me?

(Munsie) #1

Well, I just signed up here, I hope maybe you guys could find me a solution to my little problem…

I’ve been hard at work on a Q3 map, and I’ve been using Q3map2 Toolz’s Devmap feature to test it. Now, I go into the program last night, and when I hit BSP, nothing happens… It does the little DOS window work, and no file is created…

I’ve tried:

-New file name
-Different BSP type
-Sent to friend to try
-Reinstalling
-Monitering the progress for errors (Which didn’t work either, nothing appears in the window)

Lastest thing I’ve done was following some batch file tutorial… It was on some ‘Q3map2 for dummies’ page… Which linked me here. It gave me several errors when I ran the .bat, one which was ERROR NO BSP FILE **, which I though ‘Duh’ why else am I trying this, and there were 2 other errors…

Here:

I’m not exactly sure what to do from here… If anybody can provide me with a ‘1337 BSP fix’ that’d be great.

Is the .map file intact?

I’m not sure if what you mean by ‘intact’… All I know is I’ve built a map, basicly by the books, and it stopped working =(

If you have MSN or AIM (?) I could send it to you to check out

I think the best thing for you to do would be to post the .bat file you are using to compile. Also what version of q3map2 are you using might be worth grabbing the latest version.

Are the paths in the .bat file correct for the path to the map.

And maybe you could clarify what the steps you are taking are, so you start off with a map created in radiant which are then compiling how, with the intergrated compile option in radiant or using a .bat file to compile.

Looks like your using q3map toolz to do it my mistake, but it may be worth just trying to compile using a simple little .bat script that you drop your map file onto.

I would delete or move all old items created by previous compiles, do a fresh compile with your map.

Just some things maybe to try but i really am not sure exactly what your problem is.

There is a possibility that what is so called “BSP” by you was just obsessed by God or Devil.
And it came to have some will.
Just a guess.

Thanks guys, I also posted my problem over at Quake3World.com, they were able to identify it, and I’m fixing it at the moment.

Apparently the error was:

After a bit of research, it just means that too many vertices are touching one brush, Turns out it was the main ground brush, so I’m in the process of cutting it into 5+ pieces. There were also a few leaks which I mending too.

Thanks anyways guys, Off to fix my map.
