Remove custom pk3s.

If you have any more compiling problems in the future you can read this thread.

Also when i save it doent seem to save a bsp file for some reason.
any ideas

Remove them from your main and mainta folder. Radiant is not supposed to save bsps.

maybe ur folder is "Read only"

there is no bsp file, because of the 'match token' error in file mohaa/scripts/crossfire.shader!

look up main/scripts/crossfire.shader, there's the error.
try to find out, what is wrong with this line 14. If you can't, post this shader here.

if you can't find this file, it's hidden in one of the pk3s in mohaa/main

that's why you was told to remove all custom pk3s. Make a temporary folder like mohaa/main/trash and put the custom pk3s in there. Custom pk3s are all but pak#.pk3 and entdefs.pk3!
Nevertheless, once this first step is taken, you should try to find that crossfire.shader and to correct the incorrect pieces

for the first time saving your map, you must save as and give it a name!

Iggypus · Post by **Iggypus** » Sun May 18, 2003 10:22 am

i did give it a name?

this is a little confusing!

So you did solve the compile error and the auto save error and now have another one?

In that case better start a new topic
