when i run the compile tools it says that it couldnt find the .d3dbsp file but isnt the compiletool all about making that d3dbsp file?:S any help??

PS: it didnt showed any error before i changed the mapname maybe that the problem?

It would help if you would post your compile log

how do i pause to whole thing again or view log..

The compiler works in three steps.
1) Turn the .map file ti a .d3dbsp file
2) Add the vis data to the .d3dbsp file
3) Add lighting to the d3dbsp file

So if your compiler says it can't find the d3dbsp file, most likely the error appears in the first stage.

At the end of your compile it should automatically pause.
If it doesn't there is definately something wrong in your compile. (But then, how could you see the error)


How to get your compile log:

when your .bat runs...it opens a command window.


In your command window, before pressing any key to close the window,
rightlclick and select "Select All". The text will then turn white. Press "Enter".
You've now got it copied to your clipboard and can paste it anywhere you want.

or:

Before pressing a key the first time click the icon in the upper left of the cmd window
click edit --> select all and press enter. This has copied the log to the clipboard
for you to paste to a text file or preferably to a forum reply for help you do this
for all three times copy paste...copy paste...copy paste


What did you rename your map file to?
