wadinclude Created 17 years ago2007-04-11 21:22:56 UTC by Svenix

I'm having trouble including a custom wad file with the map. I've done it before, but after nearly 2 years away from mapping, I've forgotten how. I looked through the archives and someone else had my problem, but it looks like it was never resolved. Any help?

In the expert compiling mode add to the CSG program this parameter:

-wadinclude <wadname>.wad

There must be a space between the othere parameters and it.
Example:

[Other CSG parameters] -wadinclude mywad.wad

That didn't fix it. Still compiles with an error and crashes.

And why does the error have to be related to the wadinclude? What does it say exactly?

Because the error wasn't there before I tried to wadinclude. It says:

**********ERROR****************
usage: qcsg [-nowadtextures] [-wadinclude <name>] [-draw] [-glview] [-no....

I've tried several times with many variations, just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

First of all use Zoner Half life compiling tool instead of the qtools that come with hammer. You will find a link to them in TWHL's links page.

There are two reasons why you should get them:
1. They are better in every possible way. Many bugs were fixed and many new features were added. Some error will not happen in ZHLT.
2. Most people here know the names ZHLT gives all errors, while qtools might give the same error a diffrent name. It will be easier to get help.

Another fairly good reason: The qtools don't even support the -wadinclude parameter. It's one of the main features of ZHLT.

Well touche, I got them and problem solved. I guess I had them back in the day as well and had forgotten. Thanks for the help.
