Map compiling error

[disciple1990]

Hello everyone here at codjumper, I am a friend of Ownia's, Peds and Rikku. How you guys doing BTW? Especially Ownia, have not spoken to you for months!

I have a problem, I am rather new to map making, infact I only started yesterday. I made a simple skybox, which I found at http://www.modsonline.com and it looked all perfect exactly how their's looked. So i would like to se if it works inside game.

I saved the map file:

D:\Program Files\Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition\main\maps\mp\test.map

I then use the codpiler.exe program to create my compile.bat file which i save to:

D:\Program Files\Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition\main\maps\mp\compile.bat

This is the content:

Code: Select all

D:
cd \Program Files\Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition\tools\bin

q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" -vis -fast ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

flare -extra -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

I then run the compile.bat file and get this:

I do not know why it will not work and I can see there are errors above but I do not know what they mean. I am sure my CoDRadient is correctly installed as Pedsdude assisted me with it over Xfire. Can you please help me with this problem? And is there any more information you require to help me with this urgent problem?

Thanks,

Tom

Ok I have an update.

I thought that I would have a little mess around with it. I changed my Compile.bat to this: (Removed the empty lines.)

It now reads this:

Code: Select all

D:
cd \Program Files\Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition\tools\bin
q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause
q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" -vis -fast ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause
flare -extra -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

Instead of as it was before:

Code: Select all

D:
cd \Program Files\Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition\tools\bin

q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

q3map -basedir "Call of Duty Game of the Year Edition" -vis -fast ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

flare -extra -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ..\..\main\maps\mp\test.map
pause

After doing this it now creates a test.bsp file and a test.poly file. Should there not be another file that goes with this? the test.prt?

I also now get this when running Compile.bat:

Code: Select all

Yes i get the bsp file now, but I go to start new server on Call Of Duty and it says it cannot find test.bsp even though it is in there. I have also tried doing the same thing but with the test.bsp in the main folder, but still the same message appeared saying it does not exist.

Please help me,

Tom.

you just ran into the most common problem EVER in the history of mapping

Solution - Make you skybox properly...

All the sides must be "flush". there must be NO holes.
And there must be NOTHING outside of the skybox.

[disciple1990]

Hmmmm. I will try remaking the skybox.

[disciple1990]

Well I have remade it, and I do not see anything outside the skybox or any holes in it. Can you see anything wrong with it from these pictures?

[Nightmare]

what I do to make extra sure is to make sure the walls are touching each other


PS:The CSG Hollow sucks

[disciple1990]

all the walls are touching each other

[Drofder2004]

either...

1. Mitre the joints (so all joints connect at 45 degrees)
2. Overlap the skybox (unprofessional)

[disciple1990]

they r at 45 degrees ues.

and i have overlapped the skybox to see if it would work like that, which it didnt. but when i originally posted the problem it did not overlap. Could i give you a link to the .map file so you can look at it in radient so it will be easier for you?

go for it.

your impression of Wyatt Earp (spelling) ?

seen his vid's lol...BAAAM!!! YOU HAVE A TANK!! that guy is a legend.

Hehe

Hmmm, he was once a legend, but then you meet better people. The only legendary thing about him compared to others, is he created "good" tutorials. His "announcer" style of voice (monotone?), American yet understnadable (:P). BUT. Since then, meeting other mappers, I have seen some STUNNING mapping and great tutorials.

and tbh, he really ISNT that great of a mapper... I remember beta-testing his vierville... Talk about exploitable

[Nightmare]

He isnt a really good mapper but a good tut maker

[disciple1990]

Here is the link to the zip, it contains both my compiler and my .map file:

http://www.clanrrc.com/mp.zip

[Drofder2004]

Problem 1.
you have no spawn or intermission. They are required.
(right-click(2d)<mp<dm_spawn & intermission)

Problem 2.
You have no worldspawn settings (this will cause you character to be "in the shadows")

To enter you worldspawn settings...
Deselect everything and press N.
Now scroll to the bottom of the list and find "worldspawn"
Now in the Key and Value boxes enter your values.
(You can find the values that stock maps used here)

[Nightmare]

no wonder it wasnt working!
