Title: How do i get BSP Viewer working on PB2
Post by: ben@ryehills on September 26, 2006, 07:27:17 AM

Hi

i have downloaded Paintball 2 Map Development Suite and i cant get BSP Viewer to work.

everytime i open a PB2 Map in BSP Viewer i get:

Error loading:
c:\paintball2\pball\maps\(map name)

and in the console box:

Loading BSP...
Loadling Lumps
Error loading BSP file: Invalid Half-life BSP file format.

I have also downloaded QuakeViewer thats works great BUT there are no Texture's

 :(

"Half-life BSP file format"?  Are you trying to use this with the half-life digital paintball mod or something?

A lot of people get them mixed up, and the error said something about half-life.  To view the map, just open it up in paintball2.  You can set cl_drawhud 0 to get a clean screenshot, and type "noclip" while in observer to fly around the map and get different angled shots.  There's no external viewer specifically for paintball2 maps (what would be the point?).

The file format Half-Life is using for maps is *.bsp as well.
