I need help making a .AAS file on Mac.

Post by **gooball :D** » Sun Oct 31, 2010 1:37 pm

Hey, I am running MackBook Pro s.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (lol i don't even know what that means)
and I need help making a .AAS file. Can someone please tell me a program that I can use THAT WORKS?

-Thanks

Install Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or some other type of virtual machine, like Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox.

You can also give NetRadiant a try, they have OS X binaries:

gtkradiant 1.5 for macos
http://mac.rbytes.net/cat/mac/games/gtkradiant/#

would that help?

Post by **Eraser** » Mon Nov 01, 2010 7:25 am

Well, all he really needs is a Mac version of bspc.exe, if such a thing exists. I guess it comes in the GtkRadiant for Mac bundle. So in that case, yea, that would help.

Post by **VolumetricSteve** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 4:45 am

I tried working through the same problem, not only did I never get gtkradiant to work on any mac I owned, but NetRadiant (which I lovingly refer to as the "good" radiant) doesn't seem to come with any bspc type thing for mac.

As far as I can tell, no one cared to port it because of one error that came up when compiling BSPC in non-windows environments. I'd call them lazy, but I didn't fix it either so...whatevs...

what I did do, was take bspc.exe, and wrap it up tight in a WineSkin Wrapper, and very carefully monitored its log files while I forced it to run from the "run" prompt (no matter what they tell you, CMD does not run from wineskin)....it did work...it produced .aas files and I never had to boot into windows, but it was.......it sucked. Just map in windows, *all* of the tools work better in windows, and I do mean all of them. At least in my experience, anyway.

I wanted (so badly) to have an OS X quake 3 mapping workstation, but...all of the software is awful/or non-existant and not worth the trouble. I almost got to the point of making my own OSXradiant but....it was just so much easier to install windows..and...be done with it, as sad as that is.

If you want a step-by-step guide as to how I went totally nuts and forced bspc to work inside OS X, i'd be happy to post those steps here if you'd like. Until then, good luck.

bspc compiles and runs on linux. Why wouldn't the same be true for OS X?

what i was thinking

Post by **VolumetricSteve** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:19 pm

I thought the same thing too, but isn't it odd that it hasn't been done? I'm sure someone could do it, but I read somewhere that one person who tried got an error they seemed to think was insurmountable, and promptly gave up. So I thought "fine...whatever...wineskin it is" which worked...well enough I guess, I was able to release a bunch of my maps that way.

Post by **^misantropia^** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 7:56 pm

I'll see if I can get bspc to compile in standalone mode. Someone here with a Mac willing to give it a shot?

You can either clone the repository with git or download the source tarball, then build it with `make`. Let me know if your run into issues.

Post by **VolumetricSteve** » Sat Nov 06, 2010 9:12 pm

I used terminal to get into the directory of the tarball I downloaded

from there, i ran make..and this happened:

gcc -Dstricmp=strcasecmp -DMAC_STATIC= -DQDECL= -DCom_Memcpy=memcpy -DCom_Memset=memset -I. -Ideps -O3 -ffast-math -DLINUX -DBSPC -o _files.o -c _files.c

Nothing, bspc did something non-standard. Fixed, could you try it again?

Call me a monkey's uncle....I think you've done it.

BSPC version 2.1h, Nov 6 2010 18:06:59
Usage: bspc [-<switch> [-<switch> ...]]
Example 1: bspc -bsp2aas /quake3/baseq3/maps/mymap?.bsp
Example 2: bspc -bsp2aas /quake3/baseq3/pak0.pk3/maps/q3dm*.bsp

Switches:
bsp2aas <[pakfilter/]filter.bsp> = convert BSP to AAS
reach <filter.bsp> = compute reachability & clusters
cluster <filter.aas> = compute clusters
aasopt <filter.aas> = optimize aas file
aasinfo <filter.aas> = show AAS file info
output <output path> = set output path
threads <X> = set number of threads to X
cfg <filename> = use this cfg file
optimize = enable optimization
noverbose = disable verbose output
breadthfirst = breadth first bsp building
nobrushmerge = don't merge brushes
noliquids = don't write liquids to map
freetree = free the bsp tree
nocsg = disables brush chopping
forcesidesvisible = force all sides to be visible
grapplereach = calculate grapple reachabilities

BSPC run time is 0 seconds
Closed log bspc.log

Get yourself a drink, you've earned it.

**edit

is the first version of bspc for os x...ever....running on my laptop?
(note the 6th of November, 2010 6:06:59 pm eastern standard time)
a mere 11 or so years after the game for which is was intended came out?

**re-edit

Can I mirror the latest tarball on my website? This code should really be circulated, I keep bumping into mac users that wanna put bots in their levels.

Until I get permission, I'll just link back to this thread.

**extra-re-edit

so I've been rebuilding the aas file from my bsp of razztazzmagoria, which, admittedly is a pretty complex map, but....

well, here's what bspc is doing so far:

Code: Select all

BSPC version 2.1h, Nov  6 2010 18:06:59

searching visible brush sides...
25405913rush sides

note how the number of brush sides got so big it covered the 'b'

how on earth do 100K triangles pump out 25,405,913 brush sides?

as of this writing, it's 27 million and rising.

have I created a beast that can not be fed or....is the bspc code just stuck in a loop it's not breaking out of?

******too many edits

it finally crashed, it spit out all of this:

Sure, it's open source so do what you want with it. I'd appreciate it if you link back to the GitHub repo so people will know where to report issues.

how on earth do 100K triangles pump out 25,405,913 brush sides?

You probably need to add -forcesidesvisible when you compile the map with q3map2. In any case, is the .map file available somewhere? Should be an interesting test case.

I tried -forcesidesvisible, which as I recall is what I had to do in the windows version, but no dice in the mac version yet. I also tried -optimize and -nocsg in varying combinations, no success, I did however successfully build a much, much, much smaller map in no time at all, and without a hitch - so it can, and does work. It's just having a rough time with one of my more heinous maps.

if you're curious:

I'm essentially on a campaign to push vanilla quake 3 as far as it can go.

Post by **^misantropia^** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 12:43 am

Just ran it on linux amd64 but it compiles without a hitch: 100932 triangles, 96367 brush sides.

I've committed a few patches. Any chance you could re-download the source and do a `make clean debug`, followed by this

Code: Select all

gdb --args ./bspc_g -forcesidesvisible -bsp2aas razztazzmagoria.bsp
run
# wait until it crashes
bt

...and post the backtrace?

Post by **VolumetricSteve** » Mon Nov 08, 2010 12:48 am

Will do, I've got my hands filled at the moment though, might have to get to it tomorrow...I accidentally screwed up someone's install of net radiant. Got any experience with Snow Leopard and Net Radiant by chance?

*edit

got it sorted out, NetRadiant can work reliably in snow leopard!

I'm gounna go back and do a make clean debug on the first successful compile I did, now I'm in Snow Leopard (same machine, different partition) and I got it to compile successfully here to, but I had to do a simple 'make' (using your latest source tarball)....just doing 'make clean debug' didn't seem to produce an executable-type file, because I'd type in './bspc' like I did before, and it would give me a file not found kinda message....so I did a 'make' that seemed to fix it, should I run 'make clean debug' after 'make' has been allowed to run?

** re edit

never mind, I'm...I just woke up and some of this is new to me, we're good now.

I didn't know that another program acted as the debug environment - that's kinda neat.

I ran make, then make clean debug, and got gdb running with bspc and the proper parameters.

Will update when it flips its lid.

*** As promised. (these are snow leopard results)
