Map Compiler Runs but no .bsp

Reece202 · 11-29-2010, 10:35 AM

I'm tryint to compile the first version of my map, and instead of getting a .bps, I get a .log with the following content:

Code:

2 threads
reading c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\fortressforever\maps\ff_cargo_a1.bsp
Error opening c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\fortressforever\maps\ff_cargo_a1.bsp

What am I supposed to do here?

Why is it looking in orangebox bin folders for an ep1 engine mod? Did you somehow configure Fortress Forever for use in hammer under the orangebox or something? Lol, I dunno.

If that's the entirety of your log, it means you aren't running vbsp, which is what creates a bsp file in the first place.

zE, the lights.rad error is not a problem. Post everything in the compile log.

I'd like to play test it before I work out the lighting

That is everything in the log

I switched everything over to the ep1 folders as per Bridget's post and I still get the same thing.

**Crazycarl** · 11-29-2010, 11:08 PM

That's output from vrad. You need to run vbsp, then vvis, then vrad last, if you want lighting.

Reece202 · 11-30-2010, 12:27 AM

Well, I put in the same parameters you did, but I still didn't get anything. I think that this has something to do with my hammer set-up for FF because I don't get this problem with anything else. The log just shows the vrad thing.

**Ricey** · 11-30-2010, 02:11 PM

Make sure they look like this.

Also, make sure you are doing this under Source 2006 and not 2009!

Sometimes you have to copy your whole map and paste it into a new one. It's a weird bug, but it happens sometimes. Keep us posted.

Reece202 · 12-01-2010, 03:54 AM

Well, I did what majesty said and I got a bsp finally, as well as this:

You might recognise this from TF2. It's a sort-of port of CP_Freight, complete with random trains (although they are a bit buggy). Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the spawns to work right and get the start gates to move.

**Elmo** · 12-01-2010, 11:23 AM

if you're not aware - some map vmfs are supplied with the game in the fortressforever/source folder. You can work a lot out using them and the associated map lua files.

You need to use LUA. So if you copy spawns from a map, you can look in the associated lua file and copy paste bits into your own lua. I guess you've been working with bridget so I guess he's got it sorted for you??

Weird. Did you set up Hammer correctly? Did lights.rad disappear/become corrupted? Have you tried reloading all SDK content?
