Wadinclude issues Created 15 years ago2009-04-09 02:05:01 UTC by freyyr890

Hi,

I'm trying to get wadinclude working on my map (I'm using Nem's batch compiler) however no matter what I try it refuses to include any textures.  Here's the hlcsg output:

Any help would be appreciated.

You don't type "-wadinclude filename.wad", it's just "-wadinclude filename" with no extension. Or at least, that's how it's done through Hammer. But Nem's front end lets you browse for WADs, right? So in that case, it's the program doing it. So maybe I'm wrong about that.

You've also got a crapton of missing textures, it appears.

...I'm suddenly feeling incompetent about mapping.

Yeah. The tools can only find about 80% of the necessary Wads to compile.
Make sure --

Warning: ::FindTexture() texture SAND1B not found!
Warning: ::FindTexture() texture -2ROUGH_WALL not found!
Warning: ::LoadLump() texture -2ROUGH_WALL not found!
Warning: ::LoadLump() texture SAND1B not found!

are in the correct directory.

No dice removing the .wad extension in Nem's; but it could be a directory issue. Are the textures supposed to be in the same folder as the .rmf (that's where I have them) or in /half-life/valve, or somewhere else?

Assuming you map for HL (no mod), all the wads that you use should be in the game directory. For HL singleplayer/deathmatch mapping, this is the valve directory.

Custom wads are best wadincluded into your bsp, by using Nem's Batch Compiler or my Compilator].

Still no dice. Compilator won't even compile the map, and Nem's still refuses to wadinclude the files.

I should also mention I'm using the Steam version of Half-Life. Will that affect the folder setup at all?

Hey, got it now!

I had forgotten to run makewad.exe. I feel dumb now...

Compilator won't even compile the map

Have you set it up properly and used a .MAP file for the compile?
