error in gtk radiant---need help!!

[kamakazi487]

im really inexperienced at gtkradiant and when i try to open my saved map i get this error—
Unable to load project file C:\Documents and settings\mapmaker\Desktop
ewmap.map
An unrecoverable error has occured
Would you like to edit preferences before exiting radiant?
—Im having a lot of trouble and it would be great if anyone could help me.

You probably corrupted your worldspawn. There is a simple fix for this if you know what you are doing, it involves editing the map in Notepad. If you’re map isn’t TOO large then you could try opening the .map file with notepad and copying the contents in this topic (please use [ CODE][ /CODE] tags!)

Mostly it is quite easy to fix this but I can’t guarantee it.

[S14Y3R]

hm, the worldspawn causes that error too? I usually get that when I accidentaly delete the user.proj file from my etmain/scripts folder. Radiant doesn’t know what game its supposed to map for(.def files, etc) If you can get Radiant running, look under file/new project to reset everything for ET. If its not that, make sure you have a “worldspawn” like Flippy said, if you open it in note or wordpad the worldspawn should(should) be at the top.

Edit- btw, your basic worldspawn in the .map should look like this, with or without mapcoord keys(for command map):

// entity 0
{

"classname" "worldspawn"
"mapcoordsmaxs" "512 -512"
"mapcoordsmins" "-512 512"
// brush 0

Are you using gtkradiant 1.5.0?
if so to get the easy map coord go up to the top tab and click on plug ins, click on sun plug , open it and get the map coords and click ok
before i didnt do this i had tons of errors

[kamakazi487]

im still getting the error and i even tried putting in the coords.

[kamakazi487]

thanks for the suggestions—i tried installing gtkradiant 1.5 and now i can open my saved maps in the program but the maps arent actually there.

[S14Y3R]

That’s weird. I did a copy/paste of the .map you posted, it showed up fine:

Can you create new brushes at all?
Under view/filter is anything/everything toggled off?

-(stupid question)Is your vidcard ancient (-16mb)?
-if your on an older ati card, bring up preferences(press p) under 2d display/rendering, there’s a box for an old ati bugfix, try that too.

You should at least be able to see your map in radiant. :? There’s nothing wrong with the .map itself…

[kamakazi487]

here’s my vcard–
Video (Enabled) Intel GMCH AGP Graphics Controller
i still cant open it.

[Flippy]

Never heard of that graphic card.

Can you try copy/pasting your own map code you posted above in a new text file and saving it as a “.map” file, then opening it in radiant again?

[Boosted]

its onboard graphic.
cant help on topic tho :x

[S14Y3R]

btw:

Can you create new brushes at all?
Under view/filter is anything/everything toggled off?

You can play ET on your comp, right? Just making sure its drivers are capable of 3d rendering Some boards don’t always have 3d drivers installed. Make sure you have the latest drivers from Intel.

Gtk radiant opens but without my map, so this is the error that it is giving me now.

Unable to find default tag file C:/Program Files/GtkRadiant 1.5.0/wolf.game/shadertags.xml. No tag support.
It also gives me this—
Lighting mode requires OpenGL features not supported by your graphics drivers:
right now im trying to see if downloading opengl will work.
–im also trying it on a mac—i downloaded macradiant.
