So,
I've been spotting noob errors lately, as this one too.

Well, I'm made small test map with few models here and there, couple of brushes, but I can't make GRID file. It opens new BAT file and it says:



It is really silly question, hope I get answer soon, TY.

No grid 'n this is what I get (Under brush its light, and on sun its dark)

That is not an error. The BAT probably tries to create the directory, but since it's already there, it can't create it and it's telling you about it.

Tbh I have noticed that it was telling me about it, but i wanna know what can I do about it?

This might help, from my .BSP compiler.


Also does not work on SP maps either....

pls help!

How are you building the lightgrid ?
Do you use brushes with lightgrid volume ? If so, do you select "Make new lightgrid" ?
I'm not sure how it's made in CoD2, but in CoD4 there is also the option "models collect dots", which will load your map and fill it with green little dots. The player must fly through all the dots to create the lightgrid. This is faster than the lightgrid volume method, but not as accurate.

To clear things out, I'm not amateur mapper :)
I don't consider myself professional either I can do anything in radiant. My prob is just that I come on errors like these, on which maybe some mappers that just started wouldn't, so I call it noob errors, n mapping gets boring after some time.

First, there is no lightgrid volume texture in COD2. Then, of course I select "Make New Lightgrid" in drop-down Box.
Yep I know what Lightgrid is, and I did not have this problem before.

Once again: When I hit "Start GRID" BAT file opens and it says, I quote:



and opens Singleplayer, brings me to game Menu. Then I tried to see what is in console, when it says: Couldn't load "maps\mp\mp_mymapname.d3dbsp". So WOW! it opens SP instead of MP.

Also during .BSP compile I suceeded to catch this:



So only thing I wanna know is there any custom GRID-BAT file that I could use or any other way to fix this.

Can you even make it for MP?

Wait, what ? It says that it can't load "maps\mp\mp_mymapname.d3dbsp" ?
Then maybe your map hasn't compiled properly...

Ok, please read 4th post from end of topic.
It says that beacuse it runs Singleplayer game instead of Multiplayer.

When I type in console: "/devmap mp_hrvatska" it runs properly in MP.

Ofc SP game can't run MP map ;)
One thing, I read about this the other day someone said you need custom BAT beacuse stock one isn't for compiling MP.

Where can I download it?
