I'm working on my first MP map for JO (I may make a JA version later when I can afford to get JA)

I'm having trouble getting the SOFmap compiler to work properly in quark. (I tried GTKRradiant but I have been using quark for so long I prefer it over anything else)

I can BSP my map to test it, but I can't VIS or light my map.

Originally, I got the BSP to work by using these as additional arguments: +BSP, -LIN. However, when I try to do a full compile, I get a cryptic error message and the BSp is not written, however, if i run the bsp process all by itself it compiles.

How do i set this up?

(I tried saving my work as a map file in quark and importing the map into GTKradiant to compile, but i couldn't make it work there, either.

These compiling tools are a b**** to set up-- I long for the "Save JKL and Gob" simplicity of jed.



(Edit-- Got my radiants confused-- GTKradiant is what I originally meant, not QE radiant. I almost wrote GBKradiant. )

I hear that quark sucks miserably.

------------------
I check my e-mail.

Not to pull a GBK here, but you really, really, really need to be using GTKRadiant to edit and Q3map2 to compile - if only because nobody uses Quark or Sof2Map (I'm guessing that's what you meant) for JO or JA. Neither Radiant or Q3map2 are hard to get the hang of, both are infinitely superior, and there's a wealth of information and help out there.

Actually, it's not that bad. Although it's not truly stand-alone (You need python to run it, and you have to download the build tools off of f***ing fileplanet *shudders*) it still has a more graceful learning curve than any other brush editor that i've used and is quite powerful.

The texture browser is quite nice-- it displays convenient sized thumbnails of each texture group neatly. GTKradiant just places them in a list that you have to scroll through.


I struggled with learning radiant, but i was able to hit the ground running with quark.

update:

I redownloaded GTKradiant off of a pub server, and installed it. I tried to compuile, and the compile seened to go okay.

however, when i went to test my map, i got the following error in JO:
------------------
Error:

CM-loadmap
Maps/testmap.bsp has wrong version number
(46 should be 1)

WTF?
