q3map compiler error

[camel]

Hi,
first of all, since I switched to laptop on win 8.1, then win 10, I am unable to compile my map properly
there's some path's issue, but I dont know why and where to fix it, I am using q3map2toolz with q3map2_fs_20g compiler
it all worked fine on win xp and win 7 before, so when I launch compiler I get these errors for example:

Loading C:\Quake III Arena\Quake3\baseq3\maps\sgc_1.map
entering C:\Quake III Arena\Quake3\baseq3\maps\sgc_1.map
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/sg2/c3l_2
WARNING: Couldn't find image for shader textures/common/caulk
[...]

writing C:\Quake III Arena\Quake3\baseq3\maps\sgc_1.prt
ERROR: PicoLoadModel: Failed loading model maps/stargates_pegasus_model_2014.ase

ERROR: PicoLoadModel: Failed loading model models/objects/Liner/toilet/toilet.md3
ERROR: PicoLoadModel: Failed loading model models/objects/Liner/toilet/toilet_open.md3
[...]

it is like the paths are not set, but in fact they are set in q3map2toolz configuration tool and in all the files that gtk radiant 1.5.0 is using
shaderslist.txt contain all shaders the the map needs, in editor everything looks fine, no missing shaders/textures, but once I try to run compiler it gives me these errors, also I noticed few times so odd thing, compiler make that empty file in C:/ named "Program", so I assume compiler tries to use some path like C:/Program Files/ .... but it fails at this point, what can cause that issue and how to fix it, anyone knows ?

I had similar errors even on Windows 7 after migration from XP. It does not like spaces in the path names. Try to reinstall/move game and Radiant to folder without spaces in folder names (e.g. C:\QuakeDev\ or similar)... You must also edit configuration of your Radiant and compiler settings to receive these new locations... That may take some time to accept...

Just compile with a batch file instead and even if you have spaces in names, there's always the 8 char name available, you can see that name using dir /x

Wow, thank you This is pretty much name that MS-DOS systems see and use. It could pretty much be an alternative way to use spaced and enlarged names in such path settings...

Quotation marks works well too, but I don't know how Radiant or q3map2toolz works when you choose paths and so. Better just use the .bat, it's just better.

I've posted this shit around for years, it's lets you input the map name and also how many time you want it to bounce, it will log everything to a .log file named as the .map.

Code: Select all

@Echo off
Echo Name of .map file:
set /p Input=
Echo Bounce these many times:
set /p Input2=
Echo Reticulating splines...

The only issue one might have is that it won't output the progress in the command window, but really, no one cares, right? =)

I actualy care. I think this is possible to display while logging using pipes, doesn't it? But actualy I don't know if it supports with adding lines instead of rewriting them...

Thank You, that worked just fine.
