umm... i dunno much about command line compiling, but have you tried mBuilder? it is a programme that does all your compiling for you through a simple interface. Ok if you have used it, just you should always start with it.

Download it here:
http://www.fileplanet.com/dl/dl.asp?/pl ... uilder.zip

Read how to set it up and compile with it (easy anyway):
http://map.moh-central.net/t.php?id=9

And if you have used it but really need to use the command line compile then here is an advanced compiling tut:

hope this helps! :wink:

thanks
but it doesnt
already tried mbuilder also giving me errors.
What i want to do is reinstal mohaa and see if that helps.
AND
im also looking for someone who could do this for me.
Since it takes souch a short time.(if u read the tutorials anyway)
so if someone out there feals he can spare a few minutes for compiling a map for me when that needs to be done
Please reply or send me an email to jantjesplekje@hotmail.com
Hopefully someone replys

while this may fix ur problem now, i would suggest fixing it. MOHAA is independent of q3map.exe. q3map.exe can be found with you map editor, it is possible it is currupt, or it might be that u have the path wrong. i would check it because there wont always be someone willing to compile for you, as when they get bigger and better it can take hours to compile.

error

That error means you have the path to MOHAATools wrong. One way to get the right path is to right click on the q3map.exe file and go to properties. Then you can copy the path by highlighting it and hitting Ctrl C. Ctrl V will paste it into Mbuilder.

as omniscient and tom already said, ur path(s) are wrong. give us a list of where things are and of what u type in the command line and it'll be easier to help.
btw, u should not use file or directory names with included spaces

You are still not setting up Mbuilder right. Here are my paths:

Game Directory
C:\PROGRAM FILES\EAGAMES\MOHAA

Compiler Directory
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MOHAATools

Map Directory
C:\PROGRAM FILES\EAGAMES\MOHAA\MAIN\MAPS\TLTRUDE

Your .map files can be stored in any folder you wish. Mine are in a folder with my name. Also check you "Project Settings" in the editor.

Basepath
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\

Mappath
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\maps\tltrude\

Autosave
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA\maps\tltrude\


I have auto save turned off, but the path is there incase I need it.

i did all this
Still gettin that error
Im going to reinstall Mohaa tomorrow to the same directory as u did
and than im gonna copy paste it all
and gonna Reinstall radiant and Mbuilder
Cause i hate being dependent on other peeps
So hopefully this solves it
Can it have anything to do with that my mohaa is Copied Or a wron language or version?
Dont think so but .....

dont reinatall mohha, q3 has nothing to do with mohaa. mohaa aint ur problem. i would check and make sure your exe isnt currupted somehow, reinstall the editor, dont re-install mohaa.
