Radiant 1.6.4 works great on my Windows 7 computer, but I can't get the compiler to work on my Windows XP computer. I am getting an error regarding the paths I set in my project settings which lead to my baseq3 folder.

Code:
Failed to execute the following command: "filepath + q3map2 commands"
Check that the file exists and that you don't run out of system resources.


Here are a couple of screenies...

1.4.0



1.4.0: File paths work with the compiler with no problems.

1.6.4



1.6.4: Same computer, same file paths and the .map file is clearly there. Note: whole error did not fit on screen.

I'm tired and probably making a dumb mistake! Anyone know what's up? Thanks for your reply,
pat

I could be wrong, but I don't think XP is smart enough to recognize longer than 8 character directory names. I also I don't know if this has anything to do with how GtkRadiant instructs Q3Map2 what to do.

Can you compile your map using 1.6.4's Q3Map2 and a batch file?

BTW... XP :puke:
(Also, it's no longer supported by MS so it should just die)

It's more likely that you had one or more space(s) in your path. Q3Map2 was too dumb to get that whenever I worked on my maps. IIRC, I just renamed my folders by replacing every space with an underscore. Maybe it's the same for you, I assume that by reducing the dir names to 8 letters you automatically got rid of any spaces, too?

Also, XP is still supported. Millions of devices still run on XP such as ATMs and elevators, so Microsoft hasn't ceased support yet. You just have to know how to get those updates for your personal OS. <3

Pat, I would start using a batch file instead.

If you use "" around your paths, you should be able to use spaces and long names in XP

Monaster, MS support for XP ended spring 2014
