version 2.55? or 2.60?
only pak0/1/2/mp_bin/your .pk3 are on etmain?
you got tracemap?
leaks on compiling?
anything?

Ty for the quick respone after that post I decided to rechek everything…
I finnaly found out the error ET is giving me: Can’t find map maps/mapname.bsp

So I recheked my directory but it is there, tryed it several times but still the same error :bored: :???: :weird:

Forgot to post that it won’t even load anymore now, I removed all the files of the map and just saved everything & compiled it again I’m sure of the directory but ET for some reason can’t find it…

Sorry :banghead:

The problem could also have been that there are too much pk3 files in the etmain directory.
Do you have a seperate mapping installation (highly recommended)?

:eek3: Now that you mentiont it totally forgot about that my ET was pumped up with so many PK3 files and other stuff that it was around 2-3 GB :weird:

Its fixed now… Hope to get some screenshots posted soon ^-^

Thank you for all the help :banana: :drink:

Short story, long… I recently had a similar problem where ET couldn’t find the BSP. Even though I was testing in my Pub instal. Reinstalling didn’t fix it, it turns out It was a weird thing with Zone alarm(firewall prog), when q3map2/something(forget what exactly) tried to access the internet, i denied it access(shouldn’t need Net to compile). Radiant then started giving me warnings about BSP process monitoring, so I turned that off sending console to junk.txt. It seemed to compile fine but then ET Coudln’t find it. After a week of thinking it was my fault, and reinstalling everything, i was getting the same problem still. So I let Radiant/q3map2 through the firewall and now ET can read the .bsp from Pub install of 2.62Gigs.
