Spirit - Expert Compile Created 20 years ago2004-05-27 06:37:39 UTC by AJ

I'm using Spirit for a mod I'm working on so I decided to set up an expert compile window for Spirit. I've inputted all the commands (at least I think I have) for the compile. When I compile I get this:

** Executing...
** Command: Change Directory
** Parameters: "C:SIERRAHalf-Life"

• Could not execute the command:

Change Directory "C:SIERRAHalf-Life"

• Windows gave the error message:

"Access is denied."

** Executing...
** Command: C:Zonershlcsg.exe
** Parameters: c:VALVEH~1mapspreludes

Spirit then runs the previous version of the bsp file. What am I doing wrong? I basically copied what the Half-Life Full Compile had into a new one for Spirit except I added the '-game spirit' part. Also, when I do a normal compile it works fine.

Could it be because Spirit does not have an .exe file?

C:SIERRAHalf-Life

Is that a directory? Check it exists.

If you are on an NT-based system, are you an administrator?

Yes it exists. I'm running Windows XP and I am the administrator. It doesn't make sense. The Half-Life Expert compile uses the same directory settings yet it runs perfectly. I basically copied that one for Spirit except for the last bit and it doesn't work!

Also, I can't have permission access to folders because my drive is a FAT32 formatted one. Don't you need an NTFS file system to use password access on folders?

NTFS/FAT32: You do indeed, so it can't be that.

Try setting up the compile props. again, maybe you put in an extra quote mark or backslash somewhere. If that still doesn't work, try a batch compiler (to do-it-yourself, read atom's Compiling Introduced tutorial).

ARGH! I know what I did wrong now! For the benifit of members I shall explain. It is quite simple. When you are setting the options for the compile, 'Change Directory' and 'Copy File' need to be selected not typed! Thanks for your help anyway Alex!
