Q3map2 Toolz error [Solved]

[Infernis]

Hello,

I installed the program several times, cleared everything [paths, registry,etc] and still I get the following error when trying to compile:

Failure run batch file: Invalide procedure call or argument

It doesn't matter which compiling options I choose. I also tried several different maps.

I work with:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bits
GtkRadiant 1.4.0
Q3Map2 Toolz 0.6.015
Q3map2 2.5.16

I set Q3map2 Toolz to run as Administrator.

What more can I try?

Run q3map2 directly?

... or use a batch file.

How do you do that? I just quickly want to compile and fire up Quake 3 to test ingame without having to type commands and such.

I now tried a different program, Q3Map2 Build, it gives me the same error.

It looks like none of them can write the .bsp.

Test with a new map file? Perhaps there is something wrong with the map file. Also check that the file you are trying to compile or replace has proper read/write permissions and is not sitting in a protect system directory (e.g. C:\windows, C:\Program Files, etc.).

Batch file:
Open Notepad.
Type something like the following:

Code: Select all

"path\to\q3map2.exe" -switches "path\to\mymap.map"
"path\to\q3map2.exe" -vis -switches "path\to\mymap.map"
"path\to\q3map2.exe" -light -switches "path\to\mymap.map"

Save as, mybatch.bat
Double click to run.

Ok, it writes the .bsp. The frontends do and the batchfile does as well. My Quake 3 directory is on a seperate drive, no restrictions. When I go to the maps folder I see that .bsp is written. However, when I start Quake 3 it can't load the .bsp because it's not found.

Plus I have to manually remove the .bsp file to be able to run another compile. Otherwise the same error comes back [Invalid argument].

I fixed it by reinstalling everything. Quake, Radiant, Q3Map2.

Don't know what caused it but I'm happy it works.

Glad you were able to fix the problem you were having. Hopefully in the future you wont have to do a complete re-install of stuff to get it to work right for you.

Also thinking of which, somewhat sounds like there was a registry problem with the paths, which is why it kept having the invalid argument errors.
