hello !
(sorry for my bad bad bad bad.... bad english :)

I also have a very similar problem.
And im desperate about that:

when I try to start compiling, the *.bat file quits with no error message.
added some "pauses", and this is what it says:

Could not load file "C:\program files\games\call of duty 2\main\maps\mynewmapno7.d3dbsp"

cant find this "*.d3dbsp" anywhere.
what is the problem ?

thanks for any help.

post your compile log, addison.

the thing you posted is the result of an error in your compile process somewhere. Seeing the compile log, we might solve it.

one more thing: i have read somewhere on modsonline-forum, that this problem may be caused by incorrect portals or by prefabs outside the sky-box. however, the map i´ve created is qiute simple, just one room, spawnplace and a light. nothing less, nothing more. :(
did i read the manuals carefully not enough ?

what settings did you put in your compiler?
Did you install .Net and DirectX9c (both can be downloaded from microsoft.com)?
Remove the mods from your /main folder.
You might want to try renaming the CoD folder from CoD 1.0 Call of Duty 2.

do you have a player start ?? and a dm spawn point.

try right click on you 2d screen go to info add 1, player_start .
i had this work for me

finallllly I made it ! Map successfully compiled.

thanks to you, CARETAKER, COLMAC.

.net was already installed
directx9.0c was already installed
the respawn and player start were placed correctly

so i reinstalled cod2 and modtools.
now it works.

So the problem that was causing compiling errors were probably the mods in my /main folder.

Thank you very much ! ! !
(sry for my bad english)
