MBUILDER PROBLEM!!!!

Post by SearingWolfe »

i don't know why but every time i try to compile a map with MBuilder the only thing that comes out is a Builder.bat file ... i really need help. i've searched for any other files not in the default places. i have all the paths pointing to the right places. i dont have anything in the other three boxes. i unchecked the boxes in the options except for the BSP one. and i dont have any mods in my mohaa folder. and yet...it doesnt work

any one out there to help me...i would like to compile my maps. thx

Mbuilder is a "Frontend" program that creates and then runs a batch file . You can't blame Mbuilder if it does not work it is only running a batch file that launches qmap.exe and mohlight.exe as command line apps with the paramaters you have provided in MBuilder . You need to set the right paths to the game , the compiler directory where qmap.exe and mohlight.exe are and also the directory where your .map files are . Open builder.bat in notepad and post the contents and also post where you have the game installed . What game is it for Mohaa , SH or BT . Where your compilers are example c:\mohtools or C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\SDK\tools and finally what directory your .map file is located in .

And Welcome to .map for Mohaa :)

Your map may have a flaw that causes the compilers to fail. Copy your sky box and spawn points to a new map and compile it. If that one also does not compile, its your settings that are wrong and not the .map file.

Maybe I can help you. I'm also new here but I solved a problem by my self (same problem as you).
Is it right that the path contains .../ea games/... ?
Than you must change the name of the folder "ea games" to "ea_games".
Change the path in Mbuilder and it should work.

I hope it will fix your problem.

Greatz Wezelkrozum.
