Hey there.

I was trying to compile a new map.
But its not even creating the BSP file.

Now my question is how can i add a "pause" at the end of the compile so i can see what the errors are cause my compile windows always close right away.

Thx in advance.

Just add

-pause

in the .bat file, at the end.

edited by Mystic - fixed mistake.

And where is that compile log?
Do i add it in the custom command line options?

Sorry, i meant to say .bat file not compile log, cant remember the exact name of the file but you should be able to find it easy enough. It will probably be name something like compile.bat. Just open it in notepad

Yeah i read about that before.
So i opened cod4compiletools_compilebsp.bat
I added - pause at the end but it still doesnt pause.
It doesn't pause with anything not with the bsp and not with the fast files.

This is the .bat:

pause

That's strange, pause should stop the file until you press any key to continue.

Try debugging it by running an echo statement at each stage and see if it displays.

ECHO Did it work? Copy and paste this to MODSonline if it did.
PAUSE

It should pause and each stage

Yeah that seemed to work.
I had to press a key twice that time.
Thx.
