You're gonna love this. I figured out how to add compiling options in the editor like we are used to using.

I didn't add the part that runs the game from the disk yet.. but that's not very important when running pre-final maps.

ok... here we go:

- find your C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\Tools\bin\cod.qe4 file
- copy and paste it somewhere safe in case this doesn't work out for you as it did me (as a backup)
- open it and replace the contents with this:

Quote:

{
"bsp FullVis" "..\..\tools\bin\q3map ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\q3map -vis ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\flare -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ../../main$"
"bsp FullVis (extra)" "..\..\tools\bin\q3map ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\q3map -vis ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\flare -extra -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ../../main$"
"bsp FullVis (nolight)" "..\..\tools\bin\q3map ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\q3map -vis ../../main$"
"bsp FastVis" "..\..\tools\bin\q3map ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\q3map -vis -fast ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\flare -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions ../../main$"
"bsp FastVis (nolight)" "..\..\tools\bin\q3map ../../main$ && ..\..\tools\bin\q3map -vis -fast ../../main$"

"basegame" ""
"game" ""
"brush_primit" "0"
"autosave" "autosave.map"
"texturepath" "textures"
"entitypath" "..\bin\cod.def"
"mapspath" "..\..\main\maps"
"remotebasepath" ""
"rshcmd" "..\bin\"
"basepath" "..\..\"
}

- save and reload the editor.

Now the options should be available from the BSP menu.

That's awesome Foyleman..... I will try that when I get home. Just a note someone has made a compiling utility for Call of Duty - some programmer has been really busy. He calls it Codpiler. Its available at Scorpio Midget It seems to be a work in progress so if you want to use it check back often for the newest version.

Okie Dokie.. my system always seems to be the wildcard in getting this setup the first time...

I tried the above and this is what happens:

Anyone got some Ideas?

Got it figured out guys... The above is from a LEAKED Map. 80 The metail floor texture I randomly selected to build a quick test map in was not a solid brush. Changed it over and voila! All is good. (Never doubt the Foyleman's work)

Well theres one good way to tell if there a problem with the map... It just beeps at you and then doesnt compile anything. Or could it be that it wont overwrite the old file. Anyways im one of the few that bugs out when something sweet like this comes around. Any ideas on a solution? thnx kryton

If you look at some of the other threads on Terrain you will see that after a compile from the editor the editor will close completely so be sure your map is saved frequently. That's why most of us are using Codbuilder and Codpiler.

Red's got an excellent point. I like being able to compile right from the editor, but codbuild makes it simpler. And.. save, save, save... use different names.
