radiant is acting up

Post by erick »

when i am mapping in radiant i can not select entities only brushes
for example: "I have a bunkbed and there is a wall behind it but when i click "shift" and click on the bunkbed the wall gets selected.

This happens with all of the models and entities (there are no filters on)
can someone help?
ps. this didnt used to happen until today

On the tool bar there is a button with the word model on it and a red x through it press that so you can select models . To restore radiant delete or edit your qe4 file or made sure it look somthing like this
{
"brush_primit" "0"
"basepath" "C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA"
"rshcmd" ""
"autosave" "C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\mainta\maps\autosave.map"
"mapspath" "C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\mainta\maps"
"remotebasepath" ""
"modelmask" "*.tik"
"entitydir" "code/"
"moddir" "/mainta"
"bsp_BSP" "! C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\SDK\tools\bsp $"
"bsp_BspVis" "! C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\SDK\tools\bspvis $"
"bsp_ALL" "! C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\SDK\tools\bspvislight $"
"bsp_ALL (fast)" "! C:\PROGRA~2\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\SDK\tools\bspvislightfast $"
}

I cant get spearhead reinstalled to make it so i can install sdk again.
Is there a way to get the default preferences on mohaa radiant?

I have tried to delete the radiant and reextract the file from mohaatools but when i try to start radiant is gives me an invalid page fault error. My qe4 file looks like this:

Code: Select all

{
"brush_primit" "0"
"basepath" "c:\program files\ea games\mohaa\"
"rshcmd" ""
"autosave" "c:\program files\ea games\mohaa\maps\"
"mapspath" "c:\program files\ea games\mohaa\maps\"
"remotebasepath" ""
"modelmask" "*.tik"
"entitydir" "code/"
"moddir" "main"

"bsp_BSP" "! q3map -v -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
"bsp_Vis (fast)" "! q3map -vis -v -fast -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
"bsp_Vis" "! q3map -vis -v -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
"bsp_Light (fast)" "! mohlight -v -fast -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
"bsp_Light" "! mohlight -v -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
"bsp_Light (final)" "! mohlight -v -final -gamedir ../mohaa/ $"
}
but the radiant still crashes
can i completly get it off of my computer and then put it back on somehow?

I FIXED IT!!!!

Post by erick »

I was looking all over the radiant files and then i selected the radiant icon and said quickview. THis pulled up a wordpad type document and had the radiant icon in the corner. I clicked the icon and radiant crashed but asked me to edit preferences so i fixed the problem there but where is this toolbar

Wide

Go back to Edit > Preferences and check off "Wide Toolbar" to see that button -- must reboot radient. Or, You can hit keys Shift+Ctrl+U to toggle model selection on and off.

By the way, you probably hit Shift+Ctrl+U by accident to start with. Most of the control keys are listed under Help > Command List... .

In preferences check load last poject on open as well . It won't load the last map unless you check that too but you won't have to set the paths etc each time .
