Sorry to say, but i hope you never get a mapping program to work.

Earlier i tried runing the .map file with pball2 wich was before i posted this topic now i can't use the converter with my map because i can't get the run with file thing to come up. any suggestions?

TinMan · « **Reply #6 on:** August 28, 2006, 06:40:12 PM »

.map files are the "source" file to the map, dpball2 can't run that file. You need to open the .map file using the BSP map editor, and then compile the map into a playable .bsp map. To run the map you put it in you /pball/maps/ folder, and can then run it from console (~) using "map <mapname>".
Since the map will be a beta, name it something like <mapname>_bv1.bsp, as in "beta version 1", just add something like that to the end so that you don't have a bunch of versions of the map laying around with the same name in different folders.

the part i can't figure out is the turning into the bsp i knew the rest.i have a converter but, run with? not quit sure how.how do u convert to bsp?bsp only exports it to .bat.

You use the BSP map editor (name of the editor). http://dpball.com/files/mapmaking/bsp_pb2_build015b.zip

wentam · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2006, 07:03:21 PM »

i have the editor.it only works for .bat. HOW DO U use bsp to export to bsp.

TinMan · « **Reply #10 on:** August 28, 2006, 07:25:04 PM »

The .bat file is a script that will export/compile the .map to a .bsp.

when i try to compile the dos promt displays a directery and under it, it says invaled directery and it DOESN'T work.it can't creat a directery either.

TinMan · « **Reply #12 on:** August 28, 2006, 08:08:01 PM »

make sure you extracted the bsp zip file and then renamed it to be "bsp" and put it in C:\, so that it will be: C:\bsp\

Eiii · « **Reply #13 on:** August 28, 2006, 08:29:51 PM »

Did you read the installation file and get all the directories set? It sounds like you didn't.

You haven't seem to have read the installation file that comes with the pball mapmaking pack. It tells you how to set up the directories so the compiler and such knows where everything is.

wentam · « **Reply #16 on:** August 29, 2006, 11:40:00 AM »

were to get it?the map making pack?does it come with pball2?if so were?is it the text file called "game"?

Eiii · « **Reply #17 on:** August 29, 2006, 12:05:32 PM »

Download the latest version of BSP, then download the pball map pack, put all the files in that in BSP. Then read the installation file, follow it's instructions, and map.

wentam · « **Reply #18 on:** August 29, 2006, 12:08:47 PM »

Eiii · « **Reply #19 on:** August 29, 2006, 12:13:16 PM »

You just copy the BSP folder in the pball pack over the actualy BSP folder.
