Title: Inprogress thingy.
Post by: Cameron on March 04, 2008, 03:02:59 AM

Is this supposed to be a file or a folder in paintball2/pball/maps?  Rick says his is a folder and mine is a file.  Which is which?

o, now bsp may now be happy with me.  Its sounds like the error lots of people are having.  Something to do with dp when installed or the bsp program?

The batch file should create the "inprogress" directory.  I'm not sure how you got a file there.  What was in the file?

I'm probably gonna make it a folder.  Batch file meaning BSP or Paintball?

Well, it's 405KB, so obviously there's SOMETHING in it.  Just rename it to inprogress.txt and see what's inside.  It probably named your map that.  I wonder if it failed to create the directory for some reason.  I suppose I need to take a look at the batch files again.

Ty.  I'll edit my post in a about 1 hour and put the notepad file in here.  Also when it extracts it doesn't call my map inprogess, otherwise it would be a .bsp file.  It extracts them to the inprogress (supposbly) and to the mapfiles directory in BSP.

EDIT: Lol, was going to put it in as code but its full of crap that i dont understand.  And also it would fill the page and it would be edited.

Yeah, it's a map.  It must not be creating the inprogress directory, so when it moves the map to "inprogress", it actually moves the .bsp file to a file called "inprogress" instead of moving it into a directory called inprogress.

So, delete it and make a folder called inprogress?
