ya. Well here is what I did-
  Downloaded the thing from this site.
  Unzipped The files to C:\BSP
 
But when I click on   bsp.exe   is says-
      (at the top) Choose Game Subdirectory...
      (on the page in mid) Which Game?            (below it)Just a Blank box w/ an arrow at the end of the box

 What do I do about it

There's no "pball2" option?  Did you extract it correctly, using directories?  There should be a pball2 directory in c:\bsp.

What are you using to extract?  You must have your settings wrong.

Eh... try WinZip or something else.  Or adjust the settings so it extracts directories.

I got it, but when I Open it it says,
                           
                             BSP Error...
    Number of Window Setups Must Be 4(for now)

 I don't know what that means or what I should Do? ???

I don't know that the error means much -- you should still be able to use it, or is it closing the program when you get that error?

Try deleting it, unzipping it again, then go to start|run and type "c:\bsp\bsp -game pball2".

jitspoe you should realy stop by #pbmappers ive been getting alot of people stopping by their asking questions.. i think the live chat is more effect and faster way of getting people into the mapping world.

the most common question asked in my chat is why wont bsp map editor work its missing pak files...

mabbe u need to make a self extractor for bsp...


i have also been messing around with my own cube
based map editor... but it only has 3d view
no grid views... soo its kindda funky. but i have more control over the cubes then in bsp... mainly ive never liked how u cant change the direction of a trangle

example
 the trangulation is like this on a surface
 ------
 |\  |
 | \ |
 |  \|
 ------
i can change it soo its like
 ------
 |  /|
 | / |
 |/  |
 ------

which i find realy neat for making terrain

i have also created my own gensurf
with multi texturing im just not sure if dp supports
multitexture alpha masking and if does how many layers does it support?

For brushes the triangulation doesn't matter since the textures aren't bound at the vertex level.

Anyway, I'm always in #level_design.  I don't see the purpose in having 2 different channels for the same thing.

You should make a step-by-step level like tell them everything to do to make a level but ull all see the same level u know? like an example level to make sure they did it right ..just an idea
