help with start the map...

Post by **maz0r** » Tue Feb 13, 2007 1:48 am

That's getting a really difficult birth here

Btw do the old radiants want to run q3 with the map right after compile? My 1.5.0 doesnt, but I remember something like that for former versions.

@artifact: You find the settings

paths in your Radiant's Preferences, as I wrote above. The Prefs are located in the Edit menu or accessable via the shortcut 'P'.

All versions of GtkRadiant have the option of running the game after compile. Enabled by default in older versions.

it was the same error message. after i saved the boxmap into my baseq3 folder and loaded it in radiant and loaded it in "Q3Map2: (test) BSP -meta, -vis, -light -fast -filter"

"Running engine...
C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe +set sv_pure 0 +devmap boxmap
Failed to execute the following command: C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe+set sv_pure 0 +devmap boxmap" shall i test start q3 anyways and type in "/sv_pure 0" and "/devmap boxmap"?

Read the second post in this thread. Add a space before "+set sv_pure 0".

(Not sure that's it, but it can't hurt.)

Yep!

Did you read my last posting and tried that?

@pjw: this isn't the problem. radiant is trying to start the map and cannot find q3.exe due to a wrong path set up in the prefs.

my quake is in "D:\Program\Spel\Quake III Arena 1.31"

"Running engine...
C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe +set sv_pure 0 +devmap boxmap

Sounds like you have Q3 installed twice on 2 different hard drives. Your map is probably on the D: drive, Radiant is trying to start Q3 on the C: drive.

File > Project Settings

Under basepath, it should point to:

D:/Program/Spel/Quake III Arena 1.31/baseq3/

NOTE the "/"!

Select Mod should be the default, Quake III Arena.

Leave fs_game blank.

ive changed the folder to another quake:) but still same message about the +set sv_pure 0 and +devmap boxmap or test1.. but in the error message about these 2 it still trying to load from "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\baseq3" :S where i put it: "D:\Program\Quake III Arena\baseq3".

1. Where EXACTLY shall i type in +set sv_pure 0 +devmap boxmap?
in quake 3 (game) before i try to load my map with bsp

2. in the program files these maps where automatic put there by gtk radiant if you wonder. its not a whole game only some maps with some files in it.

3. in basepath. shall i have (/) or (\) to the path to quake 3?

I hope it was the info u wanted. thx again!
