First you must locate the file "bspc.exe". In the folder explorer of Windows, you can find it. It is most likely located in "C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-1.X\bspc.exe" where the 1.X is the version number of GtkRadiant you are using. If it's not there, you can always use Windows' search functionality to find the file.

Once you know where the file is (and in this example I'm going to assume it's located in "C:\Program Files\GtkRadiant-1.4\bspc.exe") click the start button, click "run", enter "cmd" and click ok.

You'll now see a dos prompt, something like this:


Now enter these commands:

cd "c:\program files\gtkradiant-1.4"
bspc.exe -bsp2aas "path-to-maps-folder\q3seg.bsp"

Ofcourse path-to-maps-folder should be replaced with the path to the folder where your map is located.
A file named q3seg.aas will be created. This needs to be included in the maps folder in your pk3 file.

It doesn't work for me.

Erm, ok.

Oh boy, I've tried EVERYTHING! I've tried bspc, couldnt get it to work.
I've tried the bspc mac thing. Nothing.
I've tried q3map2. Nothing.
Can somebody please make the aas for the map, post it, and be done with this?

See _spirit's post a few posts back. He made an .aas for you and linked to it.

And what version of windows do you use? Because in older Windows (MS-DOS) the spaces between folder names ("program files") are wrong. try to put bspc.exe into some directory named WITHOUT SPACES on C: ("C:\BSPCfolder") and then run command line and try it again(also, your bsp file move into this folder).

Shouldn't be problem if you surround paths with double quotation marks, like I did in my examples.

I use win 2000.

Post (a screenshot of) the commands you typed and the error messages you are getting when following the detailed instructions eraser gave you. Everything else makes no sense.

(Also tell us the paths to bspc.exe and your bsp file of course if they can't be seen in the screenie/error output.)

This is what I did:

(1: I clicked Start Menu\Run...



(2: I typed in cmd and clicked OK



(3: This came up



(4: I typed in what spirit_ said to do





(5: I pressed enter, and it said this


So, thats the story.

The problem is you tried two separate commands as one command. You need to do the "cd" command separately. once you "cd" into the correct folder, then do the bspc.exe command.

Why do you do it the hard way? It's much easier to use a bat file. I've attached the one I use for a current map of mine. Just right click on it, choose "Edit" and type in the correct paths for your bspc.exe and change the map name in the end from "shibam" to the name of your map. Then save the changes and run the file by doubleclicking on in. If it works, you'll see a DOS box like the one you see when you compile your map.

Well, thanks to DaEngineer, I FINALLY can make aas files freely without having people do it for me. Thank you all.

so, is this map done now? you released a final?
