Problem with convert bsp to map

temas · 2006-03-13 12:30:19 UTC

I have the bat file with following command:
\q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86\q3map2.exe -convert -format map -v “D\Media\games\MapEdited\q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86\ctctf3.bsp”

I’m getting file ctctf3_converted.map and some log.
There are some strange things:

Size of file ctctf3.bsp is about 5M and size ctctf3_converted.map is about 3M. Why it is smaller?
Some of scary log lines such as:WARNING: Couldn’t find image for shader textures/mrcleantex_2/insetbrick.
But insetbrick is on it place!
Please explain me this situation.

1 ) I am no expert but sometimes models and stuff are baked into bsp files. The .map file does not do that.
2) I often ignore Warnings if the map looks good and plays perfectly. Do the texture show up nicely in the game when you compile the map?
Have you compiled the map? Tell us more.

thank you lot for answer

It’s interesting. Thanks.
GTKRadiant opens this map with some warnings too and shows not all textures propertly. Compile to BSP gives me a 3M file and not load in q3 at all! I don’t remember error i afraid. I used not correct compile options probably?

Note that decompiling destroys much of the info contained in the original map. (Structural/detail is something to get lost, this applies to light entities and models as well)
Could you post the errors you get during compiling?

Here we are: 3 logs <GTK LOAD>, <GTK COMPILE> <Q3 LOAD>.
Another that i cant catch how i can take a AAS file?

Check the bsp is physically in the maps folder, and that sv_pure is 0.

kamikazee · 2006-03-14 18:57:28 UTC

You stripped out the end lines of the Q3Map2 log where it would show the exact eror or succesfull compile.
Anyway, if you got a BSP, the map is probably compiled fine.

Did you set sv_pure to 0 when you started the map?

temas · 2006-03-15 08:25:46 UTC

Thanks sv_pure 0 was help me!!!
But most of textures are fully dark. Only items emit light. I think it something with lightmap option?
Another problem is that i can’t go out of red base. There are some invisible walls.

If it’s dark, that means there are no light entites or light emitting shaders around.

It looks though like this isn’t your map. Decompiling is good to see how they did some special effects or to recover your map if you lost the source,but copy/pasting things from a map or using the decompile to remake the map is not allowed. (Unless you asked/got permission for sure.)
I just mention this as it’s not much appreciated if you re-use someone elses map without credit or permission.

temas · 2006-03-16 06:46:48 UTC

Thank U.
Of couse it is not mine. (See first post.).
Are mappers protecting their map by compile in it some entitis? As bsp has decompiled these entities are lost. And there are no tools to recover it.

obsidian · 2006-03-16 14:49:18 UTC

Light entities and some other information is stripped from the BSP after compile since it is no longer needed and would just take up additional memory. Once lightmaps are created, the light entites aren’t necessary anymore.
