.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I am very frusterated at this . I have made a very simple map and I am trying to play it. I have Mbuilder AND Mohpile. I have tried both and I still havent been able to compile my map ! When using Mohpile something came up in the DOS screen saying too many parameters. PLZ HELP ME!!

Use MBuilder only. Be sure the directory are pointing to the folder it needs.

Thanks for trying to help me Krane but I have tried to only use Mbuilder and it did have the right directory in it but it still wouldnt compile it, it wouldnt do anything!If you have any other suggestions please post them! Thanks!

Do you get errors in compile? You might have to check the "pause after..." boxes in "Other Options" to study them.

Yeah, press "Other options" and select "pause after light".

This will not end MBuilder. It will show you a list of things. We need to read this things so we can tell you what's wrong.

Try to post this log here.

Ask as much as you want. I'll try to help you.

Thanks a lot for trying to help me Krane and everyone else. Ok I have pause after light on and I will try to list the stuff here.It says: C;\Program FIles\EA GAMES\MOHAA|main|maps>Copy "C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\MAIN\MAPS\dm\House To House.bsp" C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAA\main\maps File not found - C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\MAIN\MAPS\dm|HOuse To House.bsp 0 file9s0 copied. Ok and I would like to say that on the other stages of the compiling it says bad key word of file name and I was wondering if that might be a problem?THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

Well one thing I noticed right off the bat is that you have spaces in your map name. Fill in the spaces, and you should be OK.
This is a no-no.
Also, It may just be a typing error for your post, but you have" | " in your path instead of \.

Kill Ya Later!

Ok, let's do it in parts (like Jack the Ripper used to say...)

Is your map called House to House? If yes, I recommend you to change to House_to_House, or house_to_house. Maybe a smaller name will help too (I think I heard something about the number of letters...). Don't use " " (space bar) on your map names or any other file in your map.
This lines were in the top of the log, right? Looks like MBuilder is not pointed to q3map.exe (the first compiler)... Be sure your MOHAA Tolls folder have q3map.exe and MOHLight in this folder and double check your directories.

About the other part, I've never see this: you have a folder called "maps" or "MAPS"? Did you copy folders inside mohha folder? There's 2 folders called "maps" and "MAPS"?

And again: there's a way you can post your log so we can see all the errors and stuff? Take a picture of your desktop and post it.

ok I changed it to House_To_House and it still doesnt work. I only have one folder named maps inside MOHAA main folder. I dont know how to take a pic of my desktop or the DOS part of the compiling.

Oh yeah I forgot to say I do have the compiler directory set right it is leading to the qe3.exe and mohlight stuff.

For my skills (which are very little) I really need to read all your log to see what's going on. You didn't answer: Are the lines you post the TOP of your log? If yes, it's strange...BTW: Is a MP or SP map? Somewhere in your first line of the log you should read "q3map.exe" (both MP or SP maps). I don't read it in the lines you post.

I was comparing your lines to mine and I realize that (I'm noob too):

My lines: C:PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm>"C:PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -gamedir C:PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA C:PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm\mansions.map

----q3map----
---FS_Starup---


(ufff...) As you see the first C: progra\etc.. points to the folder where my map file is located (dm folder)

The 2nd C:PROGRA~1\ETC.. points to q3map.exe directly

The 3rd C: PROGRA..\ points to the game directory ( where mohaa.exe is, in the MOHAA folder)

and the 4th C:Progra\etc... points to your map file itself.

This is how works w/ me.... I read words like "copy" in your log...pretty scare...maybe you installed mohaa tools in a wrong way...i dunno...

Anyway...just trying to help

do u have ur paths set correctly? these are mine:

Game Directory:
C:\program files\ea games\mohaa

Compiler Directory:
C:\program files\mohaatools

Map Source Directory:
C:\program files\ea games\mohaa\maps

u can change the map source any time, but not the other 2.

Exactly!!

Game Directory: (the folder where mohaa.exe is)

Compiler Directory: (the folder where the q3map.exe and MOHlight are)

Map Source Directory: (the folder your map is)
