newbie in distress

(Pie stealing dingo) #1

hey, im pretty new to mapping and stuff, and for some reason my map wont play. compiling goes nice, but ET says "SP_worldspawn: first entity isn’t ‘worldspawn’ ".
2 simple questions:

  1. what does it mean?
  2. how can i fix it?

You’re worldspawn has been altered, change your map to .txt instead of .map and open in notepad, Have a look at the goldrush map ie: change that to .txt then open and that should help ya.

errrr, how is that gona help him?

i think there wll be somet wrong with the map, try pressing I in radiant it selects all ur map, then copy that to another map and save

or just replace all ur entities?

“or just replace all ur entities?”, i tried that, doesnt work, will try the other 2 ways.
thnx

also, i don’t use windows (so no notepad), but linux, so i guess i will have to use gedit :slight_smile:

I had this problem a while back.

hmm, tried it, but when i try to open the map again with radiant, i get this:
“Winding_BaseForPlane: no axis found
errno: No such file or directory
An unrecoverable error has occured.
Would you like to edit Preferences before exiting Radiant?”
dont see what i couldve done wrong, when i remove the changes i made (" “classname” “worldspawn” " and min/max coords), it still gives me that error.
any ideas?

ah, never mind, found it.
was stupid enough to add a “}” (like all other entities are ended)
so it was like this:
//Entity 0
{
“classname” “worldspawn”
}

that doesnt work, let this be a reminder for everyone else who experiences these difficulties! (also my doors became worldspawn again, instead of func_door_rotating)
