I didn't even think to look for updates; I just found the editor with the maps files on a HDD tucked away in an old shoe box. When I fired it up I got some obscure error messages that didn't mean anything to me.

I'll try the latest update and see how it goes.

Much obliged to you. 

I feel you though, I still depend on Gmax and that got abandoned by AutoDesk 19 years ago. We're all in the business of keeping ancient software alive... 

I was making a map, and I had a couple of enforcers targeting a counter (with a count of 2,) and I had it teleport a nailgun onto the platform that the enforcers were on. I made sure that messages were on to make sure that the counter was working, and it was. I also added a trigger_relay, with another message, but after compiling with the new changes, it practically froze after I killed both of the enforcers and activated the trigger_counter, and then the trigger relay. I'm relatively new to mapping and have been following dumptruck_ds's tutorials in order to figure stuff out like teleporting entities, so I'm not very experienced. I can share the map file if needed. 

Hi Clackl. Are you using regular Quake or some kind of mod? If a mod which one?

The reason I ask is that I don't think weapons can go through teleporters in regular Quake. You might have to fake the effect or do something visibly different. For example, you could have the nailgun on a plinth that lowers to the player's level when the enforcers die. 

I'm trying to compile my map and I'm running into these errors:

The system cannot find the file specified.

And In the console in quake it says this:

========= Quake Initialized =========


Add-on server status:
25 add-ons available for download
1 add-on already installed

execing quake.rc
execing default.cfg
execing ironwail.cfg
couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
Couldn't spawn server maps/mymap.bsp
3 demo(s) in loop

I've checked the file paths and Im positive that there aren't any spaces that would mess up the compiling. The .bsp and .map for the map is in id1\maps. I don't know what to do PLEASE HELP!!!!! 

There are five places in NecrosGUI where you enter paths. Check all of them because this is a path error.

One other thing to check is if you have a info_player_start in the map but that would be a different error. 

It was a path error. When I had extracted zip file for ericw tools it extracted as a folder within a folder with so the path looked like this:

D:\quakedev\tools\ericw-tools-v0.18.1-win64\ericw-tools-v0.18.1-win64\bin

All I had to do was take the folder out of the folder and delete the extra folder so path looks like this:

D:\quakedev\tools\ericw-tools-v0.18.1-win64\bin

Thank you!!!! 

I am glad you solved it. There are some good reasons to use the built-in compiler in TrenchBroom as well. It takes a bit of setup which you can read about more here:

I personally use q1compile https://github.com/glhrmfrts/q1compile/releases

Lots of options but at least you have it working now necros' GUI is still great! 

What causes a map to have issues such as having the wind sound being heard underwater?

And what causes grenades to bounce off the sky? 

I did some eyeballing and calculations...

Quake unit to meters is a factor of ~20

eg
1000 u = 50m
