Well I've already tried Modsonline and IWnation with no results, so I'm just going to hopelessly try here as well. My reflections won't compile. To quote my topic at IWnation:

I completed a large section of my map for CoD4, and I wanted to compile it with lighting. So, I did all the necessarily things. I have covered my map in light grid texture, I've properly portalled every area, I've added one reflection probe to each portalled area, and I do not have any primary lights that I am aware of. However, every time I click 'Compile Reflections,' the compiler comes up for a split second, too short to see anything except a black flash, then it disappears. It does this no matter how many times I do it. I've tried skipping it and compiling fast file and running the map. However, when I do it has the stupid red tint to it. So right now I'm stuck as I don't even have an error to work off of.

Here is my compile log:

I had the same Problem ,then i played the Pac-man Game with devmap and collect the most of the points ,then the red tint was gone ! But why was the red tint before I do not know.

Sry for my bad english

Posted: **July 31st, 2008, 8:47 am**

That's weird. The volume light grid/collecting dots gets rid of rainbow tint on models, not red tint. I might try it though, I'm pretty desperate.

Posted: **July 31st, 2008, 1:55 pm**

Yea i Know that ,but at me it works

you aren't as good as modsonline and iwnation

We aren't? I thought CoDJumper.com was all about CoD4 mapping help?!

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 5:22 am**

Alright soviet this doesnt really help your situation but cod4 has a nice nifty feature that you can view what the lighting will look like without even compiling the map you can do it in radiant... There is a tutorials on modonline...

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 6:15 am**

yea I know

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 9:07 am**

Alright I was just making sure you knew so you didnt waste your time compiling trying to get lighting to look right

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 9:44 am**

no I'm not, I have scripting though and I'd like the lighting with the scripted objects to be able to see how it looks more.

Ah fair enough

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 7:47 pm**

Try this...

Navigate to the CoD4CompileTools Folder
Find a file called "cod4compiletools_reflections.bat"
Open that file in notepad or similar.
At the end of the file, but BEFORE "cls", add the word "pause" on its own line.
Now the black window will stay open.

Report back.

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 8:18 pm**

now we're getting somewhere

Code: Select all

'mp_tool.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .

here is my reflections.bat in case there is a command wrong there

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF

set treepath=%~1
set mapname=%2
set mpmap=%3

cd %treepath%
if "%mpmap%" == "1" (
	mp_tool.exe +set r_fullscreen 0 +set loc_warnings 0 +set +set developer 1 +set logfile 2 +set thereisacow 1337 +set sv_pure 0 +set com_introplayed 1 +set useFastFile 0 +set ui_autoContinue 1 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerateExit 1+set com_hunkMegs 512 +set r_reflectionProbeRegenerateAll 1 +set r_dof_enable 0 +set r_zFeather 1 +set sys_smp_allowed 0 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerate 1 +devmap %mapname%
) else (
	sp_tool.exe +set r_fullscreen 0 +set loc_warnings 0 +set +set developer 1 +set logfile 2 +set thereisacow 1337 +set com_introplayed 1 +set useFastFile 0 +set ui_autoContinue 1 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerateExit 1+set com_hunkMegs 512 +set r_reflectionProbeRegenerateAll 1 +set r_dof_enable 0 +set r_zFeather 1 +set sys_smp_allowed 0 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerate 1 +devmap %mapname%
)
pause

cls

Posted: **August 1st, 2008, 11:11 pm**

Ok, nothing wrong with the bat, but we are going to modify it a little.

Make a copy of the bat as a backup and then go into edit the original bat.

Delete everything and change to

Code: Select all

cd DIR

mp_tool.exe +set r_fullscreen 0 +set loc_warnings 0 +set +set developer 1 +set logfile 2 +set thereisacow 1337 +set sv_pure 0 +set com_introplayed 1 +set useFastFile 0 +set ui_autoContinue 1 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerateExit 1+set com_hunkMegs 512 +set r_reflectionProbeRegenerateAll 1 +set r_dof_enable 0 +set r_zFeather 1 +set sys_smp_allowed 0 +set r_reflectionProbeGenerate 1 +devmap MAP

pause
cls

Firstly change "DIR". This need to be changed to the directory which contains "mp_tool.exe", the root cod directory is default
Second change "MAP" to your map name.

Save and double click. CoD4 will open and will hang for a bit and then flash lots of images, then close.
Reflections compiled.
