"No entities in empty space -- no filling performed"
Normally caused by not having at least one entity that is positioned far enough from solid brushes. Move one of the entities further away from all walls.
Don't care.
Ok

QBSP Doesn't Find The Texture WAD Found By Trenchbroom
So, the map has as texture reference the text "id1\QUAKE101.WAD" and Trenchbroom did locate QUAKE101.WAD ok, but when I compile the map it says "Invalid WAD location in world model" or something like that.
This means my map will have no textures! And in fact... I tested it.... all checkerboard! At least the shaders worked, but it still looked *horrible*! I can't withstand a texture-less map!
Please! What do I do now? My compilers and the map files are located respectively in "Documents\My Quake One Maps\compilers" and "Documents\My Quake One Maps" respectively.
OS: Windows 10 64-bit, x64 architecture in 64-bit system
Try Setting Absolute Path To WAD

That's a relative folder. The was has to be on that folder relative to where you are compiling from. I fond symlinks best for this.
And how do I do symlinks? MKLINK?
Nailgun Not Showing
Along to this problem, I noticed the Nailgun is not showing in the secret pool I did, despite no warning showing in the compiler (other than that missing textures one). This is my first map.
I don't want to move my map folder to Darkplaces folder! That would make a mess !!
It May Be Falling Out
#16222 posted by mjb on 2016/03/14 17:16:30
In the console type: developer 1
then load your map and check the console to check for any "fell out of level" messages.
It could be the bounding box of the nailgun is too close to another brush.
Making Entities
Thanks! What happened is that the bouding box of the nailgun didn't fit the pool (though the model did). I wish the bounding boxes of items were smaller ;_;
Btw, one last question, how do I make a entity from a BSP model? I mean, make a single lamp in TrenchBroom, compile only BSP then have a .bsp file used as model. What do I do to make it into a entity?

Mklink /D newfolder old folder
That way you don't need copies of the files and can keep them all in one spot.
Entity Limit..?
Hello again...
My map is considerably small, and has little entities, but it seems any other item_ entitites I put in the map aren't showing. Only item_ entities! Could this be kindly explained?
I checked for whether it was because their bounding box touched any brushes. [b]It wasn't.[/b]
Forgotten Info
Oh, and before I forget, the previous item_ entities I put *does* show.

In the console type: developer 1
then load your map and check the console to check for any error messages pertaining to these entities, and post the results here.
FELL OFF WORLD
Four "Bonus item fell out of world" and a single monster appeared in the wall.
Well, in TrenchBroom at least it says the items are right there where they should so idk ._.

Bookmark or save this, which explains error messages:
http://web.comhem.se/bjp/tooltips.txt
"walkmonster in wall at: x y z"
"Bonus item fell out of level at x y z"
This console warning is caused by having objects (monsters, weapons, ammo etc) too close to or even partly inside solid walls. The objects may also not be too close to each other, make sure their bounding boxes are separated...
Does that account for all the missing ents, or were there more?
Check Bounding Boxes
#16230 posted by mjb on 2016/03/15 17:28:11
While those entities may not be beside other brushes, they may be overlapping with the floor. Raise the problematic entities by 8 units or so (Don't worry, the player won't know the difference!).
Another Thing To Note
#16231 posted by mjb on 2016/03/15 17:30:35
I think TB (Only one I used) has incorrect Bboxes for some entities such as Quad damage and other artifacts.
Try to compensate for a powerup entity as the size of the player's bounding box. I think you may be confused because the Bbox is smaller than what the game actually thinks it is.
I ran into this problem when I was making my first few maps.

That's gotta be a problem with the def/fgd file then right?
Yes Kinn
#16233 posted by mjb on 2016/03/15 17:34:02
Yeah, I didn't want to triple post when I caught my mistype. I think the default supplied quake defs/fgd may have the incorrect size. I remember my Quad damage having a Bbox the size of the Quad itself (quite small) when in reality the guy wants a damn auditorium to be happy!
Huh
So fart the only items that seem to disappear are the Ring of Shadows and the Invulnerability in GUSE1M1, though it seems OK in TrenchBroom 2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1xps9uadk8vqkgh/guse1m1.map?raw=1
Okay
#16235 posted by mjb on 2016/03/15 18:12:57
Took a quick look at your map.
Looks like the Ring of Shadows might a bit too close to the surrounding walls. To test, just place a ring out in the open before the secret door.
As for the pentagram, I can see why that is confusing as it looks like it has plenty of room. First thing to try is raise it...just raise to the middle of the room (don't move the light) it will drop down to the first solid brush it encounters. I am thinking it is too close to the floor.
Not Working
I moved both the pentagram to the ceiling and the ring to outside the secret walkway, but none appear yet :(
Can you still identify the other bonus items that fall off the level? I can't find out any other items that disappear.
I'd Have To Compile
#16237 posted by mjb on 2016/03/15 19:40:35
If nothing is solved, I'll load the map into my game when I get home.
As for the pentagram, if you moved it pressed to the ceiling then that could impose the same damage as having it pressed on the floor. Try the middle of the room...so there is plenty of space.
#16238 posted by negke on 2016/03/15 19:42:00
All items have a bbox size of 32*32*64 - just like the player and the small monsters. Needs to be at least four units away from walls and ceilings!
Correction
#16239 posted by negke on 2016/03/15 19:49:38
Height is 56 units.
