Hi, I'm using CoDbuilder and I have made a small room to compile. Well, when I hit "Build" the build info says... "No previous BSP file was found!" I figured it might have something to do with the BSP menu in CoDRadiant, but there's nothing there at all. Can anyone help me out here.. It will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
And for the record, I've looked in a ton of forums for the answer, and I may be blind but I can't find any.

Could you use a differn't compiler?

use codpiler - i really recommend this for beginners

if you get problems - at least you can see them in the compile log

Whats the error?

"No previous .bsp was found" isnt an error, just means you havent compiled your map already. Or if you have, you may have renamed the .bsp or put it in a file the codbuilder is not looking at. Turn the pause option on for all of the compile options in codbuilder, and send a copy of the log if you have errors.

"No previous .bsp was found" < It may also say this if you save your map as a differnt name before compiling again.

I don't think it compiled right the first time. I think I did something wrong. I try those compiling tutorials from Whyatt, but I just get confused (I mean no disrespect). I guess what I should be asking is... How do I compile in the first place. I guess when I get that done everthing will probably fall into place... I hope.
BTW... Just incase... Where can I get codpiler? Thanks.

OH!! also here is.. or I think this is.. my log!?

Lo.

You have a lot of custom maps in your main folder.
Remove them.
I have make a folder in the main directory called
"Backup Downloaded Maps".
When i am mapping i store them in this folder and
keep the main directory like it whas with a fresh
install only the maps which come with the installation.

Maybe this will help finding the .bsp file.
It is not a good thing to have a lot off custom maps
in your main directory.



Then download CodPiler:

and that isnt your whole compile log - the first stage is missing - and that is what i need to see

OK.. I got it.. I got my BSP and was able to test my map. Thanks alot for all your help. Next time I need help I now know where to go. Oh but I did want to ask... this might sound dumb but, where do I find the first part of the log?? What you see is all I saw.. If that even is my log? Well, I'll eventually get this Mapping stuff down, it's pretty fun. Well, thinks for everything.
