You shouldn’t put newer versions of q3map2 in the GTKRadiant folder.
If you want to use a newer version you have to install it in a seperate directory.
For example

c:\q3map2_VERSION\
(carnage) #5

IT MUST SIT IN ITS OWN DIRECTORY inside the game dir. It cannot
sit in the same directory as GtkRadiant as the DLL versions are
different. This will be addressed before final beta. Suggested
locations:

C:/path/to/Quake3/Radiant/
C:/path/to/Wolf/Radiant/

still i will try uninstall it all then put radient then q3map2 in a new folder

ok new directory C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\q3map_2.3.35\q3map2.exe

One of my batch files with parameters from sock (I think from the LDR).
The batch file is placed in the maps directory.
Just drag a map and drop it on the batch and the map will be compiled.

Adjust the path’s to match your system::


set QUAKE_PATH="c:/Programme/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/mapping"
set Q3MAP_PATH="c:/q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86/q3map2.exe"

And here are the options:


set LIGHT_VAR=-light -fast -samples 2
set VIS_VAR=-vis
set BSP_VAR=-meta

Whole batch file:


@echo off

rem edit to taste for each compile.
rem note: -v (verbose) is preset in general options, and is applied globally.
set LIGHT_VAR=-light -fast -samples 2
set VIS_VAR=-vis
set BSP_VAR=-meta

rem edit this if you change your mod. this is the name of your mod’s subdirectory.
rem q3f2 for q3f 2.0 (beta), wfa for Weapons Factory Arena, q3ut2 for Urban Terror…
set MOD_DIR=etmain

rem edit once. note the use of / slashes, and the lack of a trailing / at the end of the path.
rem c:/progra~1/quakei~1 = “c:/program files/quake iii arena�
set QUAKE_PATH="c:/Programme/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/mapping"
set Q3MAP_PATH="c:/q3map_2.5.16_win32_x86/q3map2.exe"

rem these are general options that will be applied to all 3 command lines. you don’t need to touch.
set GEN_OPTIONS=-fs_basepath %QUAKE_PATH% -fs_game %MOD_DIR% -v -game et

rem this is the “program�. don’t touch.
set MAP_PATH=%1
%Q3MAP_PATH% %BSP_VAR% %GEN_OPTIONS% %MAP_PATH%
%Q3MAP_PATH% %VIS_VAR% %GEN_OPTIONS% %MAP_PATH%
%Q3MAP_PATH% %LIGHT_VAR% %GEN_OPTIONS% %MAP_PATH%

pause

rem there are other options, but pause is here so you can examine the output. Press any key to continue . . .
Edit: 


set QUAKE_PATH="c:/Programme/Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory/mapping"

is the path to your ET.EXE

ime araid nither or thoes solutions will work as they are just alternatives to targeting the q3map2.exe

my map is finding q3map2 fine already but when it compiles it coming out as bsp versin 46 instead of 47, as reyalP said its not finding the ET game settings so might be compiling a bsp version that would work with another game (prob q3)

can anyone offer me a download of there q3map2 folder and i can see if using that has any effect

the one who send me q3map2 is legiable for the beer promotion offer asuming that new file solves the problem
