Error trying to open my first map

Post by Wezelkrozum »

Hi all,

I'm new here, trying to make a map for mohaa. I've made several maps for wolfenstein ET so I understand the radiant, bsp-compiling and so on. It's almost the same, based on the quake-engine. But now the problem:

I have a .map-file called new.map it's in the right folder.

I compiled it with this commandline in a .bat-file:

Code: Select all

"C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAATools\Q3map.exe"  -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\main\maps\new.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAATools\Q3map.exe" -vis  -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\main\maps\new.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAATools\MOHlight.exe"  -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\main\maps\new.map

pause
I recognized that it won't find the q3map if the map ea games wasn't changed to ea_games. So the folder is called ea_games.

The .map-file contains a info_player_start and a box made of caulk (no light).

The compile works fine I think. I shall show you the compiling process:

Code: Select all


C:\Program Files\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\main\maps>"C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\MOHAATools
\Q3map.exe"  -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA C:\PROGRA~1\EA_GAMES\MOHAA\main

Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .

I't creates a .bsp, .prt, and a .vis file in my maps directory.

Now if I start up MoHaa and open the console and type "devmap new"
It can find the map but I get an error when it's loading:

I hope someone can help me out of this.

(EDIT:)
I've found an other error. It says: Can't find new.min

Problem solved. Tip: Don't use a no-cd-crack which won't work. :p
