(q4) Compiling Error...

Post by Morari »

I realize this is Quake 3 World, but was hoping I could get some help for Quake 4. When I try to complie, I get this somewhat unsettling message in the console:

Map_SaveFile: C:/Program Files/Quake 4/q4base/Maps/opposingforcetest.tmp
writing C:/Program Files/Quake 4/q4base/Maps/opposingforcetest.tmp...
File saved as 'C:/Program Files/Quake 4/q4base/Maps/opposingforcetest.map'...
------------ Game Map Shutdown --------------
---------------------------------------------
---- dmap ----
--- LoadDMapFile ---
loading maps/C:/Program
WARNING: Couldn't load map file: 'maps/C:/Program'



I tried loading it in Quake 4 anyway, and it faded to the "Loading" screen, but quickly went back to the main menu, so I assume it is indeed finding the map, just messing up somewhere along the line. :confused:

Is the map leaked? Back in the editor load the pointfile and follow the red line to identify the leak spot.
Whatever....

Nope, it doesn't have any leaks. It does this with the few example maps I have as well, which all play fine in game.

'Maps' needs to be 'maps' - lowercase 'M'. This problem crops up far too often as Q4 *is* case sensitive in some respects.

Well then, that seems to have been the problem. Thanks a lot Kat! I'm happy that it was such an easy fix, though on some level kind of dissapointed that it was so dumb :p
