Guide: Installing and Starting BSP

[Bouncer]

Ok im having a problem with step 4. Okay well I ran runmap.bat in notepad as u said. Well when i try to replace "c:\games\paintball", i think it is, with "c:", an error message comes up saying, "Cannot find "c:\games\paintball". Help? i can`t test my map if i can`t get past this xD

[pheeks]

Does it say: "Cannot load pics/colormap.pcx or something like that and then Make sure the gameis installed properly?" You could also make sure your paintball folder is in C:\Games

Man thx
This page really helped and in fact I am compiling my second map right now                           


P.S. Can anyone tell me how to make a pub server so I can test my map and get feedback?

You can post it in a new thread here in the mapping board. So all server admins can upload and test it.




Here is the [OTB] version of BSP. You only need to change the path to your paintball folder in the file "...\BSP\pfad.txt". Default is "c:\games\paintball2". Download: ftp://otb-server.de/pub/BSP%20-%20Map%20Editor/BSP_setup.exe

And here is a german bsp tutorial: http://www.otb-server.de/wbblite/board.php?boardid=373

Ok so i've been working on my map off and on lately and i compiled it and i told me this.  CMod_LoadBrushModel: maps/inprogress/fine_beta2.bps has wrong version number (1330792272  should be 38)  um whats that mean and how do i change it lol. Thanks.

Sounds like your file is corrupted. Did you start the map by yourself or did you continue an existing .map file? How did you compile your map?

CMod_LoadBrushModel: maps/inprogress/fine_beta2.bps has wrong version number (1330792272  should be 38)

Does it really show .bps instead of .bsp?

Maybe it would be helpful if you can post the files (.map and .bsp), too.

Sorry it was late i ment .bsp, and i've checked for leaks but it doesn't show any... p.s the map isn't finish lol i was trying to test how the lighting was.

[T3RR0R15T]

I can compile and start the .map file, but i got a MAX_PATCHES error.

Some things:
- it leaks, u forgot the ground.
- all barrels are misaligned.

[PwNno0bS]

i forgot the ground o.o oh my. and i have alot of barrels XD is there a auto align or i have to go in an do it one by one?

[T3RR0R15T]

No, there is no feature for it, but you can make one good barrel and copy it.

Wow, this map is full of bugs. I fixed all leaks, errors and warnings. Now, there shouldn't be any problems to test the map ingame.

You should definitely do smaller and more easy maps first. You need to learn the basics about mapping and you need to learn how BSP works. This map is to complicated for a beginner (don't use teleporters or target_spawners, if you can't set the keys for the base, the info_player_deathmatches and the worldspawn correct).

It's easier to avoid leaks if you use only the 8 or 16 unit grid.

Btw, I detailed all barrels for lower numportals.

I have a problem with step 11
and I think I did step 4 corectly but


C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles>copy testingmap.bsp c:\Program Files\paintball2\pball\maps\inprogress
De syntaxis van de opdracht is onjuist.

C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles>c:

C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles>cd \games\paintball2
Het systeem kan het opgegeven pad niet vinden.

C:\bsp\pball2\quake2\pball\mapfiles>pause


I get that error so what am I doing wrong?

[T3RR0R15T]

Maybe forgot to change the path to your paintball folder (step 4)?

[Voety]

this is my runmap.bat
copy %1.bsp c:\Program Files\paintball2\pball\maps\inprogress
c:
cd \games\paintball2
pause
paintball2 +map inprogress/%1

[T3RR0R15T]

Try this:

Code: [Select]

copy %1.bsp "c:\Program Files\paintball2\pball\maps\inprogress"
c:
cd "\Program Files\paintball2"
pause
paintball2 +map inprogress/%1

or this one:

Code: [Select]

set pfad="c:\Program Files\paintball2"
if not exist %pfad%\pball\maps\inprogress\nul md %pfad%\pball\maps\inprogress
copy %1.bsp %pfad%\pball\maps\inprogress
call set "laufwerk=%%pfad:~0,2%%"
%laufwerk%
cd %pfad%
pause
paintball2 +map inprogress/%1

[Voety]

it works thank you
