.bsp files not made Created 17 years ago2007-02-19 20:32:22 UTC by sorrow

Yes, i know im a noob. I know i should go bash myself in the face with a blunt object, and i did check around the fourms. My problem is that, im making my first map, i go to try it, and it will not create .bsp files to play. It also doesnt have a hlbsp.exe program i see in the tutorial. (Could have a diffrent name) But i have a gbsp file. I tryed re-installing it. I fixed other problems, and i want to do this. So if anyone can help me thanks. Also flames are welcome as long as i get a awnser.

For the hlxxx.exe tools, you need to get Zoner's compile tools. Remember to configure Hammer to use those tools to compile (Tools > Preferences > Build Programs Tab). There's a good tut on setting up Hammer here.

Getting a playable .BSP map comes from using 4 tools - CSG, BSP, VIS, and RAD.

Thats exactly what I wanted. Thanks guys.

Did you guys notice this is the Source subforum perchance?

Don't use Zoner's tools for Source - They don't work. I'd stick to the base Source tools - they're much more refined than their HL1 (Quake) counterparts and work just fine. ZHLT will produce bad BSPs for Source maps.

Damn it, your right. Now I can start to run everything, but it will not create a .bsp for me to use. I can not convert my other files to .bsp (I tryed using winBSP) So anyone have anything eles? I thought the hard thing about mapping would be getting everything working together and that kind of thing, not getting the damn program to do what it should. =/

So is this for Source or HL1?

Ok i lied, I made a new map and it works just fine....weird....sorry =/
