Help with my first map I ever created

Post by HaloBro35 »

Ok so I'm using worldcraft 1.6a. "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" is the error I get after trying to compile the first map/room I ever made into a bsp. When I try to run my map to compile it into a a bsp using QBSP.exe and Vis.exe and LIGHT.exe that is the error I get. Can anyone help me out? I tried using a program called winbspc to make my MAP into BSP it tells me that quake .map to .bsp is currently disabled. Why?

"Winbspc" is a map "de-compiler", not a compiler...

As far as map compilers go I prefer LordHavoc's lmap2, most current release here:

http://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/ ... 3beta1.zip

Read the README and try that to see it works for you...

..also:

..The whole "..The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.." thing a lot of times indicates the file is locked by another process. So if Worldcraft or any program has your map file open, then close them and compile from either the command line or use batch files...
