.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I've made my first room and i compiled it with MBuilder. Everything is working fine, when i click on build map i get the DOS window, 3 times pressing space, and then mohaa start. No error message or something, just normal start-up. But it won't play my map. It's just running mohaa without my map. How can i play my map then ?

Mapbuilder probably isn't set up right. When the map compiles, make sure it saves to mohaa/maps/dm............... not mohaa/maps

also in the other options section.... check and see that ffa/tdm is checked and not sp or obj

Your map may have compiled right, but it didn't save to your dm folder. It may be in the maps folder. Go look. If it's there just drag it into the dm folder to see if it works.

Ok, i've checked everything, but it seems ok. Here are the details:

In MBuilder:
-Game Directory: C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA
-Compiler: C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1
-Map Source: C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps
(this is a map i've created cointaining all my maps. MBuilder seems to fin them perfectly)
-Batch File:

"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA
pause
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -vis -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA
pause
"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\MOHlight.exe" -gamedir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA
pause
Copy "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm\.bsp" C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps
cd C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA
"C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\MOHAA.exe" +set developer 1 +set thereisnomonkey 1 +set cheats 1 +set ui_console 1 +g_gametype 1 +devmap

-Bsp, LIght and VIS options are blank.
-Other options: -FFA/TDM/RB
-Everything else is checked
-Command line is:
+set developer 1 +set thereisnomonkey 1 +set cheats 1 +set ui_console 1

In MOHAA:
So i click on Build Map!, i get a DOS window, i press space 3 times and MOHAA starts. Then, there isn't even an intro, i just get a error message (in the console, so yes, mohaa started) displaying this:

LOCALIZATION ERROR: 'MOHAA Console' does not have a localization entry


That's all.

mohaa/maps/DM........... DM folder is where compiled map should go.

bsp/vis/light.......... change the nothing to v-fast-fast

what's the maps name as you have it spelled out

Sounds like theres not a player start

This looks like your map has no name.

Copy "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm\.bsp" C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps

The name has to be all one word, like "test_room.map". After it is compiled there should be a file named "test_room.bsp" in "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm". It is better to test it from your deasktop shortcut, rather than having MBuilder run the game. Here is a standard batch file made by MBuilder for one of my maps "test.map".

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

Notice that I use a folder, with my name, in the main\maps folder to keep the editor files seperate from the game files. The last line of the batch file copies "test.bsp" from my folder to the main\maps folder -- after the compilers are done. Then I move it to the dm (or obj) folder by hand and start up the game.



Hope that helps!

Hey Zero.... don't give up on it....... let us know how you're making out.

Hehe, i'm sorry guys, i was offline for quite a while! '-_-

Everything is ok now! I think i had 2 problems:
-I didn't put the maps in the DM folder
-I've put a space in the name of my maps?

But everything is ok now! Thx!
