Radiant does not work?

[Igloo]

Hello,

I have a very strange problem with my Radiant. The version is 1.4.0 so it is stable release. Today i opened it and saw something strange… map can’t be opened :???:

Screen: http://img436.imageshack.us/img436/4809/lol5zk.png

I’m sure that map is made correctly, i tested with so many maps…

Later i tried to change the preferences - effect was negative: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/5139/lol27oh.png

I was sure(!) that programme has no rights to do it or something like that… i made a new map for a test, i tried to save it, but i recived a 3rd error: http://img438.imageshack.us/img438/3593/lol36pu.png

It’s so strange for me, i never had this problem before… please help me with it :disgust:

Yeah, i reinstalled Radiant 4 times, completely! Nothing was saved - any folder, any file…

Greetings,
Igloo

Hey
ive had this problem (the first one) a while back too

you fucked up your worldspawn… by probably renaming “classname - worldspawn” to “classname - func_door” (or some other entity)

to fix it, open your map in a text editor (notepad etc)
usually the first “entity” you see has to be your worldspawn (im not sure if it’s always the first so plz make sure that it was supposed to be your worldspawn)

worldspawn is all normal brushes, walls, etc…

your map might look something like this in notepad:

// entity 0
{
“angle” “270”
“mapcoordsmaxs” “6656 -5120”
“mapcoordsmins” “-2560 4096”
“classname” “worldspawn” in your case something else
// brush 0

etc… etc…

The entity with many brushes behind it is usaully your worldspawn

now simply change the classname of this entity back to worldspawn and save it (be sure to select “Type: All files” and use “” symbols in your name (“testmap.map”)

[Chruker]

It looks like a permission problem with the files and/or directories

Try if you can save a map to another partition if you got multiple, or to any other drive (floppy, flash).

[Igloo]

Hmm everything is fine… i could open every map, but now nothing works…

It just appeared in a moment…

I don’t know - maybe 1 of maps works negatively and all maps crashes? :???:

[Chruker]

Could you post the entire output of the console, from when radiant is started and to you try to load the goldrush example map.

[Igloo]

Everything from console (programme start and map loading):

:moo:

[Chruker]

What filesystem are you using on the partitions (NTFS and/or FAT32)?

[kamikazee]

The "No worldspawn in map. " part of the log is rather suspicious as Flippy said.

[Chruker]

But since he can’t save new maps, and also all maps give that error, it sounds more like it just can’t read or write data.

Igloo, has your computer crashed lately. Maybe you should check the partitions for errors.

[Igloo]

I’m using NTFS filesystem. I can copy, delete, rename, etc. - do everything with files and it works. But Radiant seems to have a problem with it…

For a test i removed all files from etmain/maps/ directory and left the only one to check programme out - effect was negative. Maybe it is just because i’m using my computer so long or something (i am using PC for 9 hours) :???:

I want to add that my friend is having the same map (exactly) and he is able to open it… :disgust:

[Igloo]

Ehh i decided to re-install everything. Ofc… it helped me a lot, in effect my game works.

To everyone that has this problem: game must work correctly then Radiant will work correctly too! :moo:

A FATE programme has been installed in wrong directory and shaders were damaged.

Anyway thanks for giving me the useful hints :drink:

[Chruker]

No problem, glad you found a solution
