q3map2 can't compile map to BSP

Post by Noruen »

Hi there. I have problem with compilling on WinXP. When I run q3map2 by command menu in GtkRadiant (1.5.0) q3map2 run, but suddenly it ends compilation and no BSP file is created. It ends here:

Code: Select all

############### model 0 ###############
block size = { 1024 1024 1024 }
BSP bounds: { -2048.000000 -2056.000000 -1008.000000 } { 2000.000000 3608.000000 2272.000000 }
Lightgrid bounds: { 99999.000000 99999.000000 99999.000000 } { -99999.000000 -99999.000000 -99999.000000 }
--- PatchMapDrawSurfs ---
      635 patches
      191 patch LOD groups
--- FaceBSP ---
     7780 faces
Connection closed.
So what the hell is happening? It is the SAME version of q3map2 i used on Vista and few years before on this old piece of metal with WinXP but now it don't work... I also tried it through command line.

Q3map2 is version 2.5.16.

Check your file paths. Command line syntax is a little different between XP and Vista/7, I wonder if that may be causing the problem. I think XP won't accept long file paths and you may have to truncate them to 8 character file paths:

"C:\Program Files\Q3\mymaphere.map"
C:\Progra~1\Q3\mymaph~1

If that doesn't work post a link to the map file and I'll take a look.

running XP, just tried using long names (even with spaces) for path/filename and all worked fine, so i suppose this shouldnt be the cause...
