could not find mp_mymapsname.d3dbsp *SOLVED*

[lexalolsicnh]

hi i was hoping somebody could tell me what a .d3dbsp file is, iv'e made a cod4 map in radiant and now when i try to compile using the tools i get an error message saying it could not find mp_mymapsname.d3dbsp

What are you trying to compile when you get that error? a .d3dbsp is essentially the compiled version of the geometry, lighting, and paths (singleplayer) for your map.

im trying to compile a multiplayer map that i made, the file type is .map at the moment. im trying over all to make it a online playable map, i just cant get past this first step of compiling. i thought i was trying to make a d3dbsp but it says it cannot find mapname.d3dbsp when i click number one on the compile tools "compile BSP"

Which cod?

I don't know what to say, this doesn't make any sense at all. Will move to the right forum.

hi, you moved the thread to the WAW forum when i'm talking about CoD4 but nvm, also i just tested other maps and my compiler works just not for this one specific map i made. is there anything i could do in the radiant which may of caused this problem?

Put at least one of each spawn, intermissions and make sure map is correctly sealed by the skybox?

i havnt got dom spawns, my map doesn't support dom or hq spawns i don't know how to make these gametypes in my map. alsowhats intermissions?

[Soviet]

intermissions are the video feeds that you see in the background while selecting team and weapons. You need just one of them.

right click>mp>global intermission

oh yes i already have that in, i refer to it in my head as spectator spawn because thats what somebody told me it was once, yeah i did have one. but i do not know if i need to set any custom entities for it. i mean that panel when you press N and it has Key: value: do i need to add any of those to it?

[Soviet]

no, it is fine as it is.

[lexalolsicnh]

if anybody else gets this problem. press compile BSP and wait for it to finish look somwhere near the end of it it may say "misc_prefab (coordinates) has no model" go on radiant get the tab at the top Misc >> go to posistion >> then type in the coordinates from the error report. there will be a small red box either delete it or make it what it was supposed to be in the first place then save and try compiling again.

Cool, thanks for posting the solution.

This is probably a dumb question. How can I see a logfile for the compile? I'm using cod 4 radiant and compiling used to work until I added a prefab desk, it seemed to flip out. So I think I'm getting an error, because when it compiles after a few seconds it just closes the cmd window, and testing the game play loads my old map before the changes made. Any changes made after this weird leak are gone.

I tried making a new skybox, corners are good.
