Author Topic: can't export in bsp (Read 6127 times)

shockk · « **on:** January 31, 2015, 06:37:22 PM »

I have 2 version of BSP... the one I want to use and is in the C:\BSP folder doesn't create the .bsp and .prt files from the .map file when I export

says cannot find map\inprogress etc.

the other version I don't want to use does export fine, how can I fix the one that doesn't work?

look for a file AND in paintball2/pball/maps named inprogress and delete both if they exist

I already tried deleting and remaking the inprogress folder for paintball2's directory...I have to do it for bsp too?

BSP should be fine, it's just that it will create a file called inprogress rather than making a folder, so it just needs deleting and a folder called inprogress created, then it should work.

Next time use "Search"

If the inprogress thing doesn't work for any reason, you need to copy the bsp file from C:\BSP\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles\ to your paintball folder each time.

even in BSP's mapfiles folder it wasn't making .bsp files from the .map file when I tried to export

wondering if this is a separate problem with bsp? I have tried deleting and recreating the inprogress folder not sure whats up

What does the compiler window say? Any errors?

shockk · « **Reply #9 on:** February 22, 2015, 08:05:46 PM »

The only error is the cannot find mapfile inprogress/capfest... etc.

It isn't making the conversion to .bsp, maybe the directory paths aren't right or something

When you export the map, it should say something like:

Writing C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles\yourmap.bsp

Do you not see that?

shockk · « **Reply #11 on:** March 24, 2015, 11:33:38 PM »

I think it doesn't say that

jitspoe · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2015, 08:06:19 AM »

What DOES it say?

Im having the same problem, this is what it says.

Error opening C:/bsp/pball2/guake2/pball/mapfiles/Reach3.bsp: No such file or directory
The system cannot find the file specified

Side note: It wont make a .bsp file for me anywhere, downloaded and installed twice.

Where is bsp installed, full path. It may be different than what you wrote.

Assuming you have it here:
C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles

First, only use lowercase in map names and directories for bsp, it solves other issues.
But it also says it can't find your qvis3, which makes me think the file path isn't right, or you deleted the compilers. They should be here:

"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\arghrad.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\ArghRad200.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\arghrad300t9.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\qbsp3.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\qbsp3_original.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\qvis3.exe"
"C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\util\WINQBSP3.EXE

If it can't compile the .map into .bsp with qbsp3 then it obviously won't be able to load it later in vis.

I have norton as my computer security and it's given me notices that qbsp3, and qvis3 werent safe so it deleted it...so sounds like thats the root of my problems?

Yes.
Here is a new qbsp3 (maybe it works better with norton): http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=26664.msg244833#msg244833
