I’ve have seen many tutorials on how to make light in a dark room. But how do I get a dark room in the first place?

When you compile your map, make sure you use an option with the -light switch. If you haven’t added any light to your map, everything will be black.

My Radiant software crashed when compiled with -light. It works sometimes so I do now know how this works.

Compiling maps within the editor requires memory. If you don’t have alot of memory then it will crash and cause problems. This could also point to other problems with your PC but generally its safer to compile the map out side of the editor with batch files. In the Level Designer Reference (LDR) supplied with the SD editor is a section with a sample batch file. In the index on the left hand side of the HTML LDR is “Sample Compile Batch File”. You will need to modify the batch file to point to all the correct file locations so its not a simple case of drag batch out of manual and it will work. But overall the batch file method is a more reliable method of compiling maps.

Now it works.

I had to change sdmap2.exe to q3map2.exe and I was not able to use drag and drop. Sems much faster too.


@rem to use this batch file, run it from a dos window:
@rem > compile <mapname> without the .map extension

@set Q3MAP_PATH="C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-ET-1.3\q3map2.exe"
@set ET_PATH="C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory"
@set MAP_PATH="C:/Program Files/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/etmain/maps/%1.map"

@rem

this is not drag and drop, but it could be extended to that, well I dont use drag&drop, since I only compile one map…
also after compiling it loads et

I found this compile.bat one day while searching. This is the last .bat you will ever create:

Author: Dany “MadJack” Rioux (thankyou)

From the start you only need to edit your path to ET.exe and q3map2.exe.

This has been faultless, and asks what to do every time. Do you want -meta(yes) choose your light options…(done). Do you want -vis? Would you like to output the data to .txt files to scrutanize?(hells yea!)

Drag and drop, choose your options on the fly.

You’ll never need another .bat, ever.
