q2beaver Problem

Hey again, i made my first map (well first room...lol im exited :razz: ) Exept when i compile it the .BSP file doesnt show up in the maps file. Whats wrong?

Thanks, Tyler

I know this is HL1, but why are you using such an old editor? Where did you even hear of it?

Anyway, I assume you have the paths set up properly and that you have all the steps in your compile processes. My advice is to post your compile log and lets see whats amiss.

You really need to consider a more modern editor like QuArk or Hammer 3.5.

ya i use hammer 3.5 but q2beaver is a compiling program...

Heres the log...

ECHO OFF
REM
REM Q2 BeaVeR generated batch file to compile
REM MAP file: C:\DOCUME~1\tyler\MYDOCU~1\Maps\FIRSTM~1.MAP
REM
D:
cd D:\Sierra\HALF-L~1\valve
qcsg.exe FIRSTM~1.map
qbsp2.exe FIRSTM~1.bsp
pause
vis.exe FIRSTM~1.bsp
pause
qrad.exe -extra -bounce 4 FIRSTM~1.bsp
pause
ECHO ----------------------------------------------
ECHO Close this DOS window to let Q2 BeaVeR finish

OK then, use HLCC instead.
Tutorial for HLCC.

Also, you need newer tools.

Sorry still doesnt work...sorry if im causing too much trouble

Don't listen to him (most of the time). The front end doesn't matter, the compilers do, however, and I'd strongly suggest getting the ZHLT compilers for Half-Life 1 (which are linked in Orph's post).

Get those, compile again, then post the log up here.

Chances are the batch file the front end is creating doesn't move the file when it's done compiling. We'll know when you post a compile log.
One more thing, if that's an example of the log that this thing gives you: use something else. Saying it ran the compiler isn't very useful without the dialog from the compiler.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I don't think this fellas ready for our brand of chatter Crono. Lets give him a week before you scare him off with your perspective of my personality issues. :wink:

The best things in life, aren't things.

Ok i used all the new tools and i tries q2beaver and the HLCC on....still no luck. Mabey ill just redo the map and try again.

And once again sorry if im causeing too much trouble :biggrin:

I'll say it again:

Post the log!

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

And how do i do this on HLCC

Shutup about the noobieness :rolleyes:

There should be a file wherever HLCC is installed that stores the compile log. I don't personally use that front end, so I don't know where it stores it.

I would suggest using the "open a dialog window during compile" option on if it has it. Then, you could just copy the text from that (as it will be the compile log).

Also. You have the internet and google. Look it up.

Check your paths. This error is causing the CSG compiler to not run. (thus there is no input for the other compilers)

I am confuzzled.

The only time that the tools cannot find the HL.wad is when they are not in the HL directory.

Where have you got your tools located? Put them in the "Valve" folder. (at least I think thats where. Been ages.

Point is, the tools automatically know to include the HL.wad. They just need to find them.
