Problem with aas compling

[Schuder]

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.

ok, in gtk goto the build menu and click bsp -meta. this will error saying ya map has leaked (it means somewhere on ya map the hull is not sealed) a red line will be draw in ya viewports pointing to where its leaking. seal it up and try a recompile. hope this helps

[Schuder]

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

[Schuder]

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

[fKd]

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

[Schuder]

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

[Takkie]

double-click it.
Start it lika an executable...

similar problem guys...

im trying to run this line:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\Quake_III_Arena\bspc.exe" -bsp2aas "C:\Program_Files\Quake_III_Arena\baseq3

\maps\gregyptctf3.bsp" -reach -cluster -aasopt -optimize -breadthfirst -forcesidesvisible -breadthfirst 

but bspc says it cant find my map file....

its been a while since ive ad to deal with aas files, can anyone point out where im missing the crucial piece of information here?

the map is at that path
bspc is the latest and also at the path stated...
yes yet when run bspc says no file found.

help pz

[Eraser]

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

[skinNCNmaster]

oh woops, ok i removed that from the bat file string and tried again and it still says file not found for the bsp

[monaster]

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

[skinNCNmaster]

lol fixed that too and it still dont work..

[monaster]

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.

[skinmaster]

turns out i had the folder set to read only...

ad your right about order

heres the final compile string which worked

Code: Select all

bspc -reach -cluster -breadthfirst -forcesidesvisible -breadthfirst -optimize -bsp2aas "C:\Program files\Quake III Arena\baseq3\maps\gregyptctf3.bsp"

[coltonquake3]

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

Thanks for bumping a thread from five years ago.

[Hipshot]

What is -breadthfirst anyway?
