iv got worldcraft 3.3 with the addon that lets u map for quake, but i cant seem to compile my map, i get a error in each and every step of the compilation process.
Give some details, and there may be a solution!
One thing I will say is that the WorldCraft process window has always been a problem, and it would be recommended that you run your compiling programs under a command prompt (i.e. start> programs> accessories> command prompt - then: cd c:\(insert your txqbsp (mapname) vis -fast (mapname) ==> "-level 4" instead of "-fast" for full compile light (mapname) OK, so you may well know all of the above already :P Please specify the error for more help :-) i used to have a batch compiler for hl1 i could get it again u think that would work betteR?

This way the only dir that Worldcraft crappy process window has to look is the one folder that all of the files are in!
http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=dxr4mm4cicn&thumb=4 Although I will say: "** Parameters: "c:\quake\ id1\maps\testmap1&q..." what the hell is the &q doing at the end of this line? Heh - I don't know! This is a stupid one: - does the dir c:\quake\id1\maps\ exist on your PC?? (I assume so, but you never know!) From the log it seems that the error first occurrs during the copy file process - because of this none of the other tools will work because the file did not copy to the destination folder, which is where the compilers are looking for the file.... Hmmm yea, those dir's all exist on my pc lol actually i manually put all the files there myself to try and fix the issue. ill try doing what you have done to fix the issue and if that doesnt work, ill try my batch compiler.
use a command prompt!
You have more control over each step of the comiplation process this way! Just stick all of yer tools in a folder like "c:\quaketools\" or something, then in Worldcraft go: file> "export to then save it in "c:\quaketools" then run from the way I described in my first reply, or write all of the commands in a batch file and run the batch file, i.e: open notepad and write: @echo Compiling testmap1 @echo Running... @QBSP testmap1 @vis testmap1 @light -extra testmap1 @echo Finished! Now copy the save this file to c:\quaketools as a If this seems very patronising of me then I'm sorry! Im sure one of the other guys will know a simpler solution!! :P ill try all solutions and which ever one works the best, ill use that one from now on lol thanks guys.
tryed writing the bat file u suggested even copyed and pasted what u said to write and ran it , and the command window just opened and closed no bsp.
Well, the error is right the first command where the
Make 200% sure these folders are the right: C:\BSP\Quake\Bats\ c:\quake\id1\maps\ hold on i might done your way the wrong way i didnt type it in command promt i just double clicked it afterwards lol
the "nomapversion" program is not important, all it does is remove a key from the enitity "worldspawn" which is "mapversion" "220"
This is not critical, it will still run just fine in Quake. Putting your The error report from your process window could be re-posted here, because there is a limit to the size of one word on this messageboard, so if you re-post the error log but put some spaces in to break up the large strings of characters, we will be able to see the complete filenames.... That might help. evidently all the csg files and such just disappeared. i have a batch compiler that has been set up for quake i just dont have the batch fiels.
from Bengt Jardrup? ligh compiler and engine too
since more and more maps and mappers are using it, and Bengt`s light tool is probably the best and his engines are good at handling big crowded maps and preferd by many I asked aguirRe the same question a while ago (i.e: when his engine will support colored lights), but he answered it is not part of his plan yet... Maybe he will changed of mind if enough people are pushing for...
aguirRe, any comments ? Look at AguirRe's profile under "people" at the top of this page, and go to his homepage! It's excellent! You can also read his Quake One Tooltips document, it contains a lot of info, and it's a brilliant resource to look up error messages, find out what they mean and how to overcome them...
you use "TxQbsp", it's the best bsp tool ever dude! Its extremely stable. Also his modified GlQuake is an excellent tool just to run maps which wont run in other engines. Often you find that it will run your map and tell you what is wrong with it! It is generally considered good paractise that you create maps to run in other engines, although there are some maps and mods out there which will only run in AGlQuake because they are over the engine limits.....
so, whats up now? i got a new repot on my log.

Just run the tools individually in the command prompt -at least to see if it works. Qbsp, vis, light - it's as simple as that. The log above looks like there's something wrong with your batch, as if two QBSPs are run. Delete the second one (by Ken Alversion). Then it should work. you only need to run TxQbsp, it contains all of the features of WQbsp (Ken Alverson's) but it's more modern and has plently other newer features (it's stable as hell)
First run TxQbsp (with no commands) Then run Vis (type "vis -fast testmap1", or "vis -level 4 testmap1") Then run light (type "light -extra4 testmap1", or "light -gate testmap1") then you can run the map in Quake! :-) If you read the documentation on AguirRe's hompepage it will tell you all of the commands for his tools... if you read that log you will see that TxQbsp sucessfully comiles your map with no warnings! But then WQbsp tries to do the same thing and crashes. If you had run the tools one at a time you would have been able to view the map at that point, just with no vis (visual optimisation) and no lighting. The light and vis would have worked if WQbsp hadn't scrambled the perfectly good
(dont worry dude, I found it all very confusing to begin with) so far got it workin hehe thanx guys, u know of a website with a forum like this that i can ask modeling questions ?
