davre_gamob Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 my GTKradiant wont make .bsp files for my maps. everyone i ask says "oh just clik on fullvis [extra] and your there!" well that doesnt work at all for me. ive downloaded every update and whatnot, and _nothing_ works. why? how do i make .bsp files? i have all of these maps ready to be compiled and i cant get them to compile. help! oh and none of this "just click fullvis" crap. every one tells me that and it doesnt work. -dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grets Sirob Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 What exactly is wrong, you say"I can't compile it doesn't work" WHAT!!! What doesn't work!? I'm not a GTK fan and think you should use JK2Radient, but still, it keeps you from making good maps. But people need to know what's wrong, state your problem... *tusken battle cry* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Yeah, that's very unclear. What doesn't work? Does the DOS box pop up? Does the DOS box complete its job and you just can't load it in JK2? Can you not even see the BSP option? Do you get a file not found error? BE DESCRIPTIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davre_gamob Posted June 10, 2002 Author Share Posted June 10, 2002 beat me up about it why dont you. anyways, its been said to me that to make a .bsp file from a map file in gtk (and jk2radiant, the same way) is to click the BSP menu bar item and click 'fullvis[extra]'. i do that, an msdos window pops up, does something for about 2 seconds, then says its finished. nothing after that. its also been told to me that when that msdos window says its done, its actually still compiling, and should wait about 10 minutes (on larger maps) for it to fully finish. i once tried to start compiling around midnight and woke up several _hours_ laters to find that it didnt do crap. (this happens to me in jk2radiant also, so dont tell me its gtk) apparantly i have all the needed files/programs. why wont it compile into a .bsp file. there appears to be no leaks, my walls and floors extend well enough to overlap each other greatly. whats going on? i want my .bsp files! - a wonderfully groggy dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aniwan Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 are you running compile from a .map file saved in the \GameData\base\maps folder? cause if you have it saved in a folder somewhere else, ex under tools\maps the compile will not work,since the tools look for the map file in \GameData\base\maps.. hope this helps.

MoR ODIN Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 This is what i had to do,had to make a bat file to compile the editor never would make a bsp... Perhaps you could try compiling from a bat file. Go to to the directory where you have sof2map.exe (usually GameData/Tools). Create a FullVis.bat file in there (it's just a text file with a bat extension). The file should contain following code: code:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- sof2map - bsp path/filename.map sof2map - vis path/filename.bsp sof2map - light -extra path/filename.bsp -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Replace path/filename with the exact path and filename of your map. IMPORTANT: use short DOS names. For example: c:\PROGRA~1\ and not C:\Program Files. Save and run the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
