DigitalVapor Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I am running XP pro and I figured out the map directory fix easily, but I am experiencing some inconsistancies in the compiling process. If have noticed that after recompiling a map several times under the same name, it just stops working. so after several revisions (usualy 4-5 re-compiles) I have to save the map under adifferent name. (example: test.map, test2.map, test3.map) It seems as though a bsp can only be overwriten so many times before it "write-protects" itself from further changes. RAVEN! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS!

Dross Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 The problem is spaces in folder names. See JK2Radiant makes the q3ebsp.bat, and trying to run it, it doesn't like the star wars jk ii outcast. This is a peice of crap name for a folder anyway. Rename it to SWJK2. Or reinstall into there. I ran this batfile: C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2map -bsp C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2map -vis C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2map -light C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map And it worked!

Dross Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Anyone having trouble with compiling? Figured it out! The problem is spaces in folder names. See JK2Radiant makes the q3ebsp.bat, and trying to run it, it or Windows XP doesn't like the star wars jk ii outcast folder name. This is a peice of crap name for a folder anyway. Rename it to SWJK2. Or reinstall into there. I ran this batfile: C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2ma p -bsp C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2ma p -vis C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\Tools\\sof2ma p -light C:\PROGRA~1\LucasArts\SWJK2\GameData\\base/maps/bla.map And it worked! You need to make sure your installation matches mine. To make this batch file, make a new txt document, put this in and edit, save, then rename .bat Later, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverseLogic Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Can someone please enlighten me as to what in the hell that \\Base is in there for, and what it mean? It makes no sense to have that in there to me, but I know it must be in there for a purpose. maybe this is why it won't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEXX Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 For example, e:\jk2\gameData\\base is odd I agree, but for some reason this \\ is critical and must be present. I have a gut feeling that the \\ behaves similar to the .. (two periods) in a Command Prompt to navigate between directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parasiticz Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Ok, got it to bsp. First, I grabbed my snapshots directory and all my test files out of gamedata\tools and threw em somewhere safe. (Yes, I was moving my map to gamedata\base\maps before trying to bsp... it still wasn't working. I just dont like saving there directly beacuse i save as test1, test2, test3 etc everytime i make a major change and its a mess) Uninstalled the whole mess, game and all (I like a clean slate) Reinstalled in to "c:\program files\lucasarts\swjk2" instead of the default directory with all those spaces in it, and reinstalled the GDK. Then I dropped the stuff I was working on back in, moved the file I wanted to test to gamedata\base\maps, and viola! I guess it IS just picky about directory and file names on XP, I never would have figured that as the problem. What a pain in the... Much thanks Dross, and all who helped. -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
