Q3map Error

[KD]

Hi all !
I am new to mapping and am tring to get my first .map file to compile. If someone with great wisdom could help me it would be much appreciated ....

Platform/Programs

• Windows XP Pro
  mohradiant
  MBuilder

This is the compiler error:
C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm>"C:\PROGRA~1\MOHAAT~1\Q3map.exe" -gamed
ir C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA C:\PROGRA~1\EAGAME~1\MOHAA\main\maps\dm\KDs1stMap.
map
---- q3map ----
----- FS_Startup -----
----------------------
24748 files in pk3 files

************ ERROR ************

It is my understanding that this occurs when you have more than 3192 shaders in your map. Thats clearly not the case here.

It is a very very small map. View the .map file here http://home.comcast.net/~aodkillerdude/KDs1stMap.txt

Again, any help would be appreciated.

think you need to temporarily remove any custom pk3's from the folder you're working in (so temporarily remove any pk3's from 'main' that aren't essential to your map and weren't installed with the game).

Yes, if you're using the original Q3map compiler that came with the tools it's bottoming out becasue it reading too many shaders.
