I just started learning how to map and finished my first attempt and it runs fine now im trying to finalize it by adding the bot file. I have tried using BSPC-gui but every time i try to process the file this error comes up.

I am pretty sure there are no leaks in my map since I went through that process and it loaded just fine. Just to be sure though i did what you said and it still loaded fine. Thanks for trying to help.
I read, on multiple websites, that compiling without a frontend application (like BSPC-gui) and doing it through command prompt is the best way to compile .bsp to .aas but I havent a clue how to do that.

Any error messages while compiling -bsp and -vis stages? Make sure you have a spawn point in your map somewhere.


To create a batch file, use a text editor and create a new file called aas.bat, in it place the following text (changing as necessary):

"C:\Program Files\Path\To\bspc.exe" -bsp2aas "C:\Games\Quake3\baseq3\maps\mymap.bsp" -forcesidesvisible -optimize -reach

Well the error is when i was trying to generate the .aas from the .bsp. I will certainly try the batch file way and post my results. Thank you for helping

also be sure that no entities are outside in the void, also causes trouble

Ok, Once I have the batch file then what do I do with it?. Sorry I'm not really familiar with this.

-aasopt takes a .aas file as input. So compile the .aas first, then run bspc with the aasopt switch on the aas file.

@Skinny: Most probably because you have "Program Files" as well as "Program_Files" written ;)

Is there a space between "baseq3" and "\maps\gregyptctf3.bsp"? Also I tend to have the forcesidevisible optimize asf directly after the "C:\Program Files\Quake_III_Arena\bspc" part (don't need to specifically use the exe extension after bspc, but be sure to check the space thing; sound silly but it's astonishing how often errors like that hinder someone to complete one's work.

breadthfirst doesn't need to be set twice skinmaster. Only once does the trick.
