[DizzyDazzy]

[neillomax]

C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA

C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\SDK\tools........( MOHAA TOOLS for allied assault )

C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\mainta\maps\dm
\main\.........for allied assault



USE the "change" button to find these. When done, close, then re-open mapbuilder for changes to take effect.

[bdbodger]

mbuilder makes a .bat file in the same directory as the .map open it in a text editor and post it . It maybe you have errors so the map is not building too .

[DizzyDazzy]

Thanks! i'll try it but anyway...............................
Well the .bak has nothing in it but the .map file has in it...

Oh, soz...but how do you create usable doors

[hogleg]

Clik the link below "Nemesis", bookmark it, go to "Rotating doors".

[DizzyDazzy]

Nemesis? wheres that. sorry...but i tried those files and they just bring the mohaa start screen up even though the maps appear on the 'select map list'. If i'm pestering and annoying you with my dumb questions sorry i'm just a new mapper

[hogleg]

these little pics are links below

[DizzyDazzy]

Sorry 2 keep pestering but MBuilder still wont work! i just get that music...but thanks 4 the nemesis link!

[tltrude]

MBuilder does not play music.

You posted the .bak file and we need to see the .bat file. Open mbuilder and select your map. Then copy the contents of the window in the lower left. Here is what mine looks like.

------------------------------------------------------------
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -v -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\door2.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -vis -fast -v -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\door2.map
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\MOHlight.exe" -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\door2.map
pause
Copy "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\tltrude\door2.bsp" \main\maps
------------------------------------------------------------

The .bak file is a back up for you .map file. It looks ok, except you have no skybox. Surround your entire map with one big brush and go to "selection/csg/hollow". Then texture all six brushes with a "sky" texture (mohday2 is nice).

Also, you need to add sunlight to your map. To add it, click on one of the skybox brushes and hit key N. Then type,

Key: suncolor
Value: 70 70 70

...hit enter and N again. That, 70 70 70, will add full daylight to your map. You should also add at least one info_allied and one info_axis spawn point to your map -- so you can test it in main/maps/dm with weapons and sound.

Hope that helps somewhat.

MBuilder does not play music.

Lol, if his does then i want that version.. i can at least listen to random music while i compile my map!!

[Rookie One.pl]

Lol! Can you imagine? A map compiler that renders sound depending on the map input!

[DizzyDazzy]

I'll take the advice you gave me but what annoys me is i DO take your advice and nothing works on my pc...Its not the advice thats bad its obv. me doing something wrong. I just made a new .map file. its called Das Rishurio, its big, its great its perfect, player start, moving vehicles, players, guns etc. AND what exactly does 'compile' mean? Thanks again. and i'll carry on trying.

Also i dont see any .bat files and whenever i try to insert an AI model moh radiant freezes and shuts itslef down! WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY PROBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMS!!!!! urm...ok

[hogleg]

I suggest going to the Nemeses and starting at the top of the tutorials and do em all.

Don't use capital letters or spaces in your map name.

Mbuilder ( compiler ) does all the calculations for everything, builds ur map.

Name ur map test_das_rishurio.map

[DizzyDazzy]

Thanks, maybe the problem is i've been putting spaces in the maps so it dont work?? i'll try again. Ta
