I have some of my map done and i want to compile it and see how it looks ... i am usin CoD Builder and when i press build it does everything and then when its done it says a bsp have not been created and the error says no BSP file has been found .. but i thought it was suppose to create a bsp

This means it has a problem with your map
file or you have a leak in your map.

Im getting similar probs compiling, it doesn't
even get to the end of the process and freezes
mid compile.

i dont think i have a leak because when i do pointfile nothin comes up but if i had a problem with the map file how would i fix that?

The guys here open up the map file as a text file.

And have a look through it for anything not right.

But im unsure what I'd be looking for.

Have you used radiant to compile? same thing?

I here that the builder has bugs

how would i use radiant to compile cuz under the bsp options there is nothin there

to compile from radiant.. check this out: here

i got the bsp options but it only takes like 1 second and i still dont get the bsp file ... i dont have a leak so is there something else that can be wrong?

I'm shooting in the dark here so bare with me I haven't started creating maps with CoD Builder yet....yet.

Does the builder create an error log file?

If so, in that file (jOhN mentioned it) it might tell you what the problem was. If you can't figure it out send the file to me and I'll take a boo at it for you.

If you can't find the file then just do a search for it on your system and track it down that way.

Let us know

Cheers

Make sure you have an mp deathmatch_spawn and a mp deathmatch_intermission in your map.

And make sure both of those entitys reside within the hull , not partially in the ground either.

yea i got a spawn and intermission

where do i send my file?

this is what CoD Radiant says:
