WARNING: Could not connect to source control.

I'm sure IW's radiant build sends .map copies to a storage server to backup every step in case of data loss (e.g. radiant crash). but we don't have the source control server software or anything, so ignore it.

Then when I open the map......
..appear in the bar at the top, it remains "unnamed.map*" rather than "C:/Program Files/Activision/Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare/map_source/untitled.map".....

I just opened my radiant to work on my map some more...I click open, mp_untitled ....



which one is it because they are both consider 2 different .maps?


You say that when u open the .map in notepad there isnt anything in there? Thats usually means its an empty .map. A file was saved but with no contents in it. So even if you did added the worldspawn it wouldnt reveal anything because there is zero contents in there. But if you beleve thats an error try adding the worldspawn. I suggest u make a copy of your mp_untitled.map and rename it to something like mp_backup_test.map open with notepad and add the world spawn by copying it off of another .map like mp_backlot.

If you open mp_backlot with notepad and hit ctrl + F and search for worldspawn and copy stuff b4 and after it and then paste it to your mp_backup_test.map and file>save it. Then place the mp_backup_test.map inside the map_source folder and open it with radiant. The world spawn stuff that you copy should be something like:

this one doesnt have any contents in it other than being saved as a .map

and heres a .map with worldspawn and stuff in it:
http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/959/mapwithstuff.jpg


So i would start copying from the square before the // all the way through the square after worldspawn" and place those before the //brush 0. See if that works.

oh and that error bout not connecting to source control, but i get it after i start up radiant. When I load a .map it goes away. So my thoughts are that it wont load your map because of the no worldspawn.

thats why i think it doesnt load it up. lol. no worldspawn so try adding it manually and see wats up.
