Ok so I am new to the map making world, and just recently download gtkradiant. I followed a tutorial on how to make a basic level and I have done all that, however when I try to compile it from the bsp menu I dont know which BSP otion I shoudl use and no matter which one I do I get the name message
q3map2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
And nothing happens. How do I fix this so I can create my map?
You can use (single) BSP -meta for quick test compiles.
If you included the output of q3map2 up to the time it crashes that might help. Also, which versions of radiant and q3map2 are you using ?
I am using Gtk Radient 1.4.0 and I dont know the version of my q3map2, where would I find that?
Here is the output
Saving map to C:/Program Files/Quake III Arena/baseq3/maps/Secondtry.map
Map_SaveFile: C:/Program Files/Quake III Arena/baseq3/maps/Secondtry.map

Then I get the error message

You are most likely trying to vis a simple box map. Don’t do that. Just compile with the command I suggested, until your map is a little more complex. Or put a another brush inside somewhere.
AFAIK, this is fixed in the most recent version of q3map2.
