BSP + Viewer FAQ - NemPosted: Feb 5th, 2005 - 3:19:20 pm +
+
+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch BSP Viewer I get the following error message:
"A required .DLL file, + MSCOREE.DLL, was not found."

+
+

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

Does BSP Viewer support Source .bsp files as well as Half-Life .bsp files?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

No, BSP Viewer only supports Half-Life .bsp files.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I set BSP Viewer up?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

To set BSP Viewer up:

+
    +
  1. Go to the Options menu and select Setup.
    2. +
  2. In the MOD field enter the name of the MOD you want to use BSP Viewer for (valve, + cstrike, dod, ns, etc.).
    3. +
  3. In the User Path field select your Steam user path + (..\Steam\SteamApps\you@yourhost.com).
    4. +
  4. Add all the packages your MOD uses (half-life.gcf should always be added).
    5. +
+

Note: When you first run BSP Viewer, BSP Viewer will attempt to set itself up for + Half-Life.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I save my edited entity data?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

BSP Viewer does not yet support saving edited entity data. This does not, however, mean + that it is not possible to update your .bsp with the changes you made. To update your .bsp + with the new entity data simply export a .ent file from the File menu in BSP Viewer + then import the .ent file back into your .bsp using Ripent. Ripent is part of Zoner's Tools. +

Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Batch Compiler I get the following error message:
"The application + failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click ok to terminate the application." +

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Batch Compiler is written in C# .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the + downloads + page for more information.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Batch Compiler I get the following error message:
"A required .DLL + file, MSCOREE.DLL, was not found."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Batch Compiler is written in C# .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the + downloads + page for more information.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open an old preset file I get the following error message:
"Error: The data at + the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Batch Compiler v3.X.X is not backwards compatible with Batch Compiler v2.X.X. This means + that old preset files will not work and you will have to recreate them.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

How can I convert a preset I've saved using one specification file to a preset of another + specification file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

This can be accomplished by importing the preset. To do this:

+
    +
  1. From the 'Specifications' menu select the specification file you would like to convert + the preset to.
    2. +
  2. From the 'File' menu select 'Import Preset'.
    3. +
  3. Browse to and open the preset you would like to convert from.
    4. +
+

Adding + Preset 'Quick Launch' Buttons (Half-Life) - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 10:42:46 pm +
+
+
+

If you are coming from the Creating + A Preset tutorial then you should be all set to add your "Full" preset to the Presets + menu; otherwise, if you have not created a "Full" preset, please see the Creating + A Preset tutorial.

+ +

To add a preset to the Presets menu we must first head back to the options form. In the + Options menu click Setup. Next click on the Presets tab. It should look like + this:

+ +
Options Form - Presets Tab
+ +

Now click the Add button and browse to the location you saved your preset to, select it, and + open it. The preset will now be added to your list of presets as shown below:

+ +
Options Form - Paths Tab
+ +

You can add as many presets as you want here, and remove them latter by simply selecting them and + clicking the Remove button. Once you are happy with the presets you have added, click OK + to return to the main Batch Compiler from. You'll now notice a shinny new Presets main menu + option. From here you can launch any presets you added from the options form. It should look like + this:

+ +
Batch Compiler Form
+ +

You can pick up a pack of three common preset files here. + This includes presets for fast, normal, and full compiles.

+ I used to compile in Worldcraft but it has since stopped working with my map, so I downloaded your + compiler.

You have BC set up right, but any errors you get compiling are errors with your + map, not BC. See this + page.

Code:
+
This error is always caused by vertex manipulation.
A plane is defined by 3 + unique coordinates. If any of the three
coordinates are the same, then you don't really have a + plane (its
either a line or a point).
There is no way to fix this error other than to delete + the brush and
recreate it completely.

+ im taking it that the surfaces must be cbes,hex,etc. and cant have 2 sides..

i have a question. i got my map to work but after i almost threw my computer accross + the room. i keeped getting a light error it said to add lights. well i had some so i thought maybe i + need more, and thew lights all over the place and then the compile just had a quick dos popup window + comes up and goes away and nothing happens. so i took a screenshot and saw it said unknown option + "-cliptype" so i went to the csg tab and unchecked cliptype and it compiled fine. what am i doing wrong + that cliptype had to be unchecked?
+

+
+
+
12. NemPosted: Dec 11th, 2005 - 11:55:40 pm +

The switch isn't working because the version of Zoner's Tools that you have is out of + date. See this page for + more info.
+

+
+
+
13. squirtlePosted: Dec 15th, 2005 - 9:57:29 pm +

+
are u entirly sur about that because I tried that. and another thing, the tools from + "Zoners Tools Legacy (v2.5.3)" in the archive mapping tools u have for download didnt work eather but i + got another version called zhlt253-17. not sure if thats same version but thoes tools work but like i + said, i have to uncheck cliptype. can u specify what versions are compatible. im using valve + hammer/worldcraft 3.4 and batch compiler 3.1.2.
+

+
+
+
14. NemModified: Dec 16th, 2005 - 12:55:39 pm +
+
+
Here is a better link. According to + that link, the latest tools (v3.3) support the cliptype parameter. If they don't, please let me know and + I'll update the specification. It is had for me to keep track of all the changes to the tools on top of + everything.
+
+ The cliptype switch isn't essential as long as you aren't running out of clip nodes, so if you aren't, + you can safey ignore it.
+

+
+
+
15. BluefangModified: Dec 16th, 2005 - 3:05:51 pm +
+
+
The cliptype option is only in zhlt 2.5.3m1.7p3 (I guess that's the full name). That + means any of the really old tools (zhlt 2.5.3 and before), semi-old tools (mhlt 1.7 and before) and earl + chlt builds don't have the clip type options. The option was introducex in XP-Cageys 'P' series. See the version + history if you don't beleive me.

If you want to use the cliptype option, your best bet is a + version of ZHLT + 3. Like Nem siad, unless you are having clipping problems, you shouldn't even need to use this + option. However, if you are using ZHLT 3+, I suggust using cliptype precise if it dosn't cause you any + error.

Just installed the compiler and followed setup tutorial. All worked well. Just + curious though, when you press F9 in Hammer it runs its compilers. Can hammer be set to run this + compiler so you're not switching between two programs?
+

+
+

3. BluefangPosted: Jul 16th, 2007 - 3:19:50 pm +

+
If you've gone through setting up the Batch Compiler once and you setup all of the + preferences you want, then you should be able to save a BATCH (.bat) file insted of running the compile. + I think that option is under the Compile menu.
+
+ This generates and saves the same BATCH script that the batch compiler its self would use to compile + your map. As ling as the source and destination files are always going to be in the same place, you can + directly execute this script with out needing the Batch Compiler.
+
+ To execute this compile script from Hammer, go to the Expert Run Map dialog
+
+ http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Hammer_Run_Map_Expert
+
+ make a new profile and insted of adding the compile tools, add a new Command. this is where you enter + your newly created BATCH script. Then whenever you compile using this special profile in Hammer, it will + call the BATCH script and compile your map.
+
+ If you want to change some options in the BATCH script, open up the Batch Compiler, make the changes you + want, then re-save over the old BATCH script (that way you don't need to change any thing in Hammer). + Alternatively, if you have different settings that you use often, create multiple BATCH scripts and + profiles in Hammer so you can quickly change what script you want Hammer to execute.

Batch + Compiler Setup (Half-Life) - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 10:43:23 pm +
+
+
+

Just downloaded Batch Compiler and don't know what the hell to do with it? This little tutorial + should cover everything you need to know from how to set it up to how to compile your first map.

+ +

First things first, if you don't already have the program head over to the downloads + page, pick it up and install it. The installer is a standard Windows installer so I will leave that to + your imagination.

+ +

Once you have installed Batch Compiler start the program up. If you get an + error when you run it then you need the .NET framework which is linked to on the downloads + page. Batch Compiler should look like this when you start it up:

+ +
Batch Compiler At Startup
+ +

Now some of you may have noticed that there are no controls for compiling your map on the form. This + is because Batch Compiler 3.0.0 (and up) work with Batch Compiler Specification (BCS) files. These + wonderful dynamic configuration files allow you to use Batch Compiler to compile just about anything + that makes use of a batch file, be it a Half-Life map (which this tutorial works on), a map for + another game, or even such things as applications.

+ +

Six specifications come with Batch Compiler (they can be found under the Specifications menu). + They are:

+ +
    +
  • Quake Tools Legacy: The original Quake Tools specification.
    • +
  • Source Tools Advanced: The advanced Source Tools specification. Recommended for experianced + users.
    • +
  • SourceTools Normal: The standard Source Tools specification. Recommended for new users. +
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Advanced: The advanced Zoners Tools specification. Recommended for experianced + users.
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Legacy: The original Zoners Tools specification.
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Normal: The standard Zoners Tools specification. Recommended for new users. +
    • +
+ +

You're welcome to use any specification you wish, I would, however, recommend the Zoners Tools Normal + specification because if you are reading this, you are probably a new user. You can always upgrade to + the Zoners Tools Advanced specification latter. If you are reading this tutorial you are setting Batch + Compiler up for Half-Life mapping so make sure you pick one of the specifications that has the word + Half-Life in it. To load the specification simply click it in the Specifications menu. + Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Zoners Tools Normal Specification
+ +

Now that we have the specification open, we need to proceed to set Batch Compiler up to use it. In + the Options menu click the Setup button. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - General Tab
+ +

The General tab contains information specific to the editor itself. Its options are:

+ +
    +
  • Opacity: Set the opacity of the program (make it see through).
    • +
  • Log Viewer: Set the program Batch Compiler uses to view LOG files.
    • +
  • Recent Files: Set the number of recent files to store, this is used for both BCP and MAP + files.
    • +
  • Associate With: Press the BCP Files button to associate BCP files with the editor. + When associated, double clicking a BCP (Batch Compiler Preset) file will launch Batch Compiler with + that preset loaded.
    • +
+ +

When you first start Batch Compiler, Batch Compiler will try to find NotePad using system path + variables and set it as your Log Viewer. If your Log Viewer is not set you will have to + manually browse for an appropriate application. Some appropriate standard windows applications include + NotePad and WordPad.

+ +

Once you are happy with your settings in the General tab, move over to the Stage Paths + tab. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

The Stage Paths tab allows you to set the paths to all the tools used in your current + specification. To begin specifying the paths select the BSP tool from the list of tools on your + screen. Once selected the bottom text box on the form changes its caption to read BSP Path, its + browse button also becomes active as shown below:

+ +

The Stage Paths tab allows you to set the paths to all the tools used in your current + specification. Because we are using the Zoners Tools Normal specification file we will first need + these tools on our hard drive. If you do not already have Zoners Tools you can download the latest + version here or find it + in the Mapping Tools pack available here. + Note: the Zoners Tools Normal and Zoners Tools Advanced specifications make + use of Zoners Tools v3.0.0 and up.

+ +

Once you have the tools we can continue with the tutorial. To begin specifying the paths select the + CSG tool from the list of tools on your screen. Once selected the bottom text box on the form changes + its caption to read CSG Path, its browse button also becomes active as shown below:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

Now simply press the browse button (the button with the three dots) and browse to the file located on + your hard drive. Continue this process for all the reaming tools. Your screen should look something + like this:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

Once you are happy with your settings in the Stage Paths tab, move over to the + Variables tab. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - Variables Tab
+ +

The Variables tab allows you to set the paths to various other resources used in your current + specification. These paths are set in a similar mannor to those of the Stage Paths tab and + should be set as follows:

+ +

WADRoot: (Game directory.)

+ +
    +
  • Half-Life: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life
    • +
  • Day of Defeat (Official MODs): ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\day of defeat
    • +
  • Natural Selection (3rd Party MODs): ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life
    • +
+ +

Output: (BSP output directory.)

+ +
    +
  • Half-Life: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life\valve\maps
    • +
  • Day of Defeat (Official MODs): ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\day of defeat\dod\maps +
    • +
  • Natural Selection (3rd Party MODs): ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life\ns\maps +
    • +
+ +

Your form should look something like this when you're all done:

+ +
Options Form - Variables Tab
+ +

Once you are happy with your paths click the OK button to return to Batch Compiler's main + screen. We are now going to go through the steps for creating a generic "Full" compile preset which + you can use for all your maps. Please continue to the next + page.

+

+ first, make sure that you have all of the paths set up correctly
+
+ second, make sure that you have the correct settings for each of the compile tools
+
+ third, make sure that you do not have any errors in the DOS window.
+
+ if you can, copy the contents of the DOS window and paste it here.
+
+
+ if all else fails, try using the HL-Compiled installer (also on the Batch Compiler download page). this + will install the Batch Compiler, the latest compile tools, and will set it all up for you. the only + thing you need to do is to select the map and press run.

Hey nems would you be able to make some new setup tutorials for the new batch + compiler because I have no idea what the variables tab is for and there is no longer any input output + tabs in the setup.
+

+
+
+
5. NemModified: Feb 8th, 2005 - 5:39:04 pm +
+
+
I'll try to update these tutorials soon, but for now:

The "Variables" tab + basically replaces the Input and Ouput path in a more flexible way. For Half-Life specifications there + are two fields, these are:
    +
  1. WADRoot: The same as the Input Path in this tutorial.
    2. +
  2. Output: The same as the Output Path in this tutorial.
    3. +
For the Source specifications there are three fields, these are:
    +
  1. BinRoot: The path to your bin folder in the sdk (where all the tools are located).
    2. +
  2. ValveProject: The path to the folder your GameInfo.txt file is in.
    3. +
  3. Output: The path to the folder to copy your .bsp files to. More less the same as the + Output Path in this tutorial.
    4. +
+
+

When I go to compile my MAP the DOS window (the black one) tells me I have an ERROR + and to refer to the LOG text file to find the ERROR. There are NO ERRORS in the LOG file! WTF!!! Need + help! - HeAdCrAb KILLA
+

+
+
+
7. NemPosted: Apr 27th, 2005 - 1:40:15 pm +
+
+
From within Batch Compiler, go File->View Log File to view your log file. If that + doesn't work, try reading the console output to see what the error is.
+

+
+
+
8. HeAdCrAb + KILLAPosted: Apr 27th, 2005 - 3:35:52 pm +
+
+
I cannot find ANY ERROR reading in the LOG file. The last time I tried compiling in + Hammer, an ERROR came up "access is denied," but I don't kno if that has anything to do with this. How + do I view this "console?" - HeAdCrAb KILLA
+

+
+
+
9. NemPosted: Apr 27th, 2005 - 3:56:49 pm +
+
+
The console is the thing that is telling you to view your log file. Right click on + the console and select the text, the pres enter to copy it and paste it here.
+

"The last time I tried compiling in Hammer, an ERROR came up "access is denied," but + I don't kno if that has anything to do with this."
+
+ sounds like some of your paths are incorrectly setup.

I love maps, I have made about 25, and don't know much about compiling... :) I really + need help. With a nubish username like myself prepare to be annoyed by me!
+
+ ;)
+
+ Help me with "Ripent" What is that?
+
+ Where can i find that, and also, you said an MS-DOS screen pops up can compiles ur map... does the + MS-DOS screen stay there? or does it quickly disappear and compile unseen?
+

+
+
+
12. NemPosted: Jul 18th, 2005 - 10:44:34 pm +
+
+
The only essential stages are CSG, BSP, VIS and RAD.
+
+ RipEnt is used for hand editing entities when either the .rmf source is not available or you don't want + to recompile.
+
+ The DOS window will stay open until you close it, if you have pause enabled in the options menu. You can + close Batch Compiler while you are compiling though.
+

+
+
+
13. Black-DroolPosted: Jul 19th, 2005 - 12:28:59 pm +
+
+
So wait, what are those "recent Files" for? what do they do, and also my MS-DOS + screen pops up for like 1 milisecond then dis-appears, how do I fix that?
+
+ happy +
+

+
+
+
14. NemPosted: Jul 19th, 2005 - 11:30:53 pm +
+
+
They are files you recently opened?
+
+ shrug
+
+ Your console screen should remain open if "Pause Console" is enabled in the "Options" menu and you have + at least on stage checked to run (on the right). If there is a problem with it you might want to run the + compile.bat file BC generates (in your Batch Compiler directory) from an MS DOS command prompt to see + what the problem is.
+

+
+
+
15. Black-DroolPosted: Jul 21st, 2005 - 8:53:06 pm +
+
+
I get this error when I do everything correctly:
+
+ Error creating batch script
+
+ Error: Outputpath it either not set, or invalid.
+
+ What do I do?hiding

Batch + Compiler Setup (Source) - NemPosted: Feb 10th, 2005 - 2:14:35 am +
+
+
+

Just downloaded Batch Compiler and don't know what the hell to do with it? This little tutorial + should cover everything you need to know from how to set it up to how to compile your first map.

+ +

First things first, if you don't already have the program head over to the downloads + page, pick it up and install it. The installer is a standard Windows installer so I will leave that to + your imagination.

+ +

Once you have installed Batch Compiler start the program up. If you get an + error when you run it then you need the .NET framework which is linked to on the downloads + page. Batch Compiler should look like this when you start it up:

+ +
Batch Compiler At Startup
+ +

Now some of you may have noticed that there are no controls for compiling your map on the form. This + is because Batch Compiler 3.0.0 (and up) work with Batch Compiler Specification (BCS) files. These + wonderful dynamic configuration files allow you to use Batch Compiler to compile just about anything + that makes use of a batch file, be it a Half-Life 2 map (which this tutorial works on), a map for + another game, or even such things as applications.

+ +

Before we take a look at these specifications, it is a good idea to make sure they are all up to + date. To do this, select Check For Updates from the Help menu. This will bring up a + dialog which can be used to update all official specification files. Clicking Update will do + just that. It is reccomended that you check for updates every so often to make sure you have the + latest specification for the latest updates to the tools.

+ +

Six specifications come with Batch Compiler (they can be found under the Specifications menu). + They are:

+ +
    +
  • Quake Tools Legacy: The original Quake Tools specification.
    • +
  • Source Tools Advanced: The advanced Source Tools specification. Recommended for experianced + users.
    • +
  • SourceTools Normal: The standard Source Tools specification. Recommended for new users. +
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Advanced: The advanced Zoners Tools specification. Recommended for experianced + users.
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Legacy: The original Zoners Tools specification.
    • +
  • Zoners Tools Normal: The standard Zoners Tools specification. Recommended for new users. +
    • +
+ +

You're welcome to use any specification you wish, I would, however, recommend the Source Tools Normal + specification because if you are reading this, you are probably a new user. You can always upgrade to + the Source Tools Advanced specification latter. If you are reading this tutorial you are setting Batch + Compiler up for Source mapping so make sure you pick one of the specifications that has the word + Source in it. To load the specification simply click it in the Specifications menu. Your + screen should look like this:

+ +
Source Tools Normal Specification
+ +

Now that we have the specification open, we need to proceed to set Batch Compiler up to use it. In + the Options menu click the Setup button. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - General Tab
+ +

The General tab contains information specific to the editor itself. Its options are:

+ +
    +
  • Opacity: Set the opacity of the program (make it see through).
    • +
  • Log Viewer: Set the program Batch Compiler uses to view LOG files.
    • +
  • Recent Files: Set the number of recent files to store, this is used for both BCP and MAP + files.
    • +
  • Associate With: Press the BCP Files button to associate BCP files with the editor. + When associated, double clicking a BCP (Batch Compiler Preset) file will launch Batch Compiler with + that preset loaded.
    • +
+ +

When you first start Batch Compiler, Batch Compiler will try to find NotePad using system path + variables and set it as your Log Viewer. If your Log Viewer is not set you will have to + manually browse for an appropriate application. Some appropriate standard windows applications include + NotePad and WordPad.

+ +

Once you are happy with your settings in the General tab, move over to the Stage Paths + tab. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

The Stage Paths tab allows you to set the paths to all the tools used in your current + specification. To begin specifying the paths select the BSP tool from the list of tools on your + screen. Once selected the bottom text box on the form changes its caption to read BSP Path, its + browse button also becomes active as shown below:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

Now simply press the browse button (the button with the three dots) and browse to the file located on + your hard drive. This file is part of the Source SDK and can be found in the folder + ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\sourcesdk\bin. Continue this process for all the reaming tools. + Your screen should look something like this:

+ +
Options Form - Stage Paths Tab
+ +

Once you are happy with your settings in the Stage Paths tab, move over to the + Variables tab. Your screen should look like this:

+ +
Options Form - Variables Tab
+ +

The Variables tab allows you to set the paths to various other resources used in your current + specification. These paths are set in a similar mannor to those of the Stage Paths tab and + should be set as follows:

+ +

BinRoot: (Source SDK bin directory.)

+ +
    +
  • All MODs: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\sourcesdk\bin
    • +
+ +

ValveProject: (GameInfo.txt directory.)

+ +
    +
  • Half-Life 2: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life 2\hl2
    • +
  • Half-Life 2: Deathmatch: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp +
    • +
  • Counter-Strike: Source: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\counter-strike source\cstrike +
    • +
  • Day of Defeat: Source: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\day of defeat source\dod
    • +
+ +

Output: (BSP output directory.)

+ +
    +
  • Half-Life 2: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life 2\hl2\maps
    • +
  • Half-Life 2: Deathmatch: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\half-life 2 + deathmatch\hl2mp\maps
    • +
  • Counter-Strike: Source: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\counter-strike + source\cstrike\maps
    • +
  • Day of Defeat: Source: ...\Steam\SteamApps\address@host.com\day of defeat source\dod\maps +
    • +
+ +

Your form should look something like this when you're all done:

+ +
Options Form - Variables Tab
+ +

Once you are happy with your paths click the OK button to return to Batch Compiler's main + screen. We are now going to go through the steps for creating a generic "Fast" compile preset which + you can use for all your maps. Please continue to the next + page.

I don't have source yet but it seems to me that you get hammer(4.0?) and the source + tools(bsp, vis, rad) from the source SDK on steam. If I'm wrong please correct me. I can't wait to build + for HL2.

Hi Nem, a long time since I have used the compiler for mapping. I am mapping for HL + 2" now but although I thought I had setup the compiler ok I get this message when I compile.
+
+ Extra App Id set to 211, but no SteamAppId
+
+ As the log is generated with the map details I am guessing this is a path error is it?
+
+ Aprreciate any advice as usual, thanks
+

Shouldn't you update this tut for the orange box release. The orange box games use + different directories.
+
+ And also this tool is great. I used to use command promt and do every thing separately.

At the part where you set up Batch Compiler stage paths, I get lost. I'm not sure + what I'm supposed to do.

Could you maybe provide a full screenshot of the stage paths + listed? And likewise for the variables?
+
+ Other than that, I seem to be fine.

Batch + Compiler Specification Files - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 9:51:42 pm +
+
+
+ About:
+ +

Batch Compiler Specification (BCS) files are simple element orientated text files that are used to + specify the batches, stages and options that can be used. They construct the objects on Batch + Compiler's main form and specify the layout of the batch file Batch Compiler produces. In short, the + define almost everything you see in Batch Compiler.

+ + + + + The Batch Element: +
+ +

Specification files are made up of two main sections, a Batch section that specifies the batch + files Batch Compiler produces, and Stage section that specifies the stages these batch files + use. There is no set order in which they must appear, but general place the Batch sections at + the top of the specification file (as a convention). The following is the main Batch section + from the "Zoners Tools" specification file that comes with Batch Compiler:

+ +
+ Batch + { + Name "Zoners Tools" + Priority "2" + Links "Zoners Tools,http://dev.valve-erc.com/index.php?go=zhlt" + Filter "Supported Files|*.map;*.bsp|MAP Files (*.map)|*.map|BSP Files (*.bsp)|*.bsp" + Stages "CSG|BSP|VIS|NetVIS|RAD|RipEnt|Shared" + LogFile "${FilePath}\\${FileName}.log" + Template "@echo off\n"_ + "set WADROOT=${InputPath}\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=CSG}\" ${StageParam=CSG} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=BSP}\" ${StageParam=BSP} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=VIS}\" ${StageParam=VIS} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=NetVIS}\" ${StageParam=NetVIS} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=RAD}\" ${StageParam=RAD} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n"_ + "\"${StagePath=RipEnt}\" ${StageParam=RipEnt} \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}\"\n" + } +
+ +

This is a good example of a batch section because it shows all the various aspects of Batch + Compiler's elements and attributes. The general format for all of the various elements and attributes + in a specification file is as follows:

+ +
+ Element + { + Attribute1 "Value1" + Attribute2 "Value2" + Attribute3 "Value3"_ + "Value3 Continued" + } +
+ +

All attribute values, wheather they are numeric or strings, are written in quotes. If an attribute's + value is long you can split it into two or more strings by placing a underscore ("_") charactor in + between each string as showen above. Attributes can also contain escape sequences to represent + characters you can't easily type. These escape sequences are modeled after the C language escape + sequences and are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Escape Sequence
+ 		+
Character
+
+ \t + + Tab +
+ \n + + New Line +
+ \\ + + Backslash +
+ \" + + Quote +
+
+ +

The quote escape sequence can be very usefull for adding quotes to your attribute's value without + confusing the parser. For example the string Ryan "The Yellow Dart" Gregg would be written as + "Ryan \"The Yellow Dart\" Gregg".

+ +

The various attributes that the Batch element can take are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Filter + + String + + All Files (*.*)|*.* + + The file filter to use when browsing for files on the main form in the standard windows + format. +
+ Links + + List + + N/A + + A list of web site links associated with the batch. The format is "Link1 Name,Link1 + URL|Link2 Name,Link2 URL". +
+ LogFile + + String + + N/A + + The template for the log file path. +
+ Name + + ID + + N/A + + The name of the batch. Must be unique. +
+ Priority + + Integer + + 0 + + The priority of the batch. The batch with the highest priority will be the batch that Batch + Compiler loads. +
+ ShellExecute + + Boolean + + False + + If true, the batch will be run through the shell and not a batch file. The batch must be no + longer than one line and only one command if this is true. +
+ Stages + + List + + N/A + + A list of all the stages the batch uses in the order they will be run (and appear in Batch + Compiler). +
+ Template + + String + + N/A + + The template for the batch. +
+
+
+ +

The Template attribute of the Batch element is simply a batch script mixed in with + variables.

+ + Variables:
+ +

Batch Compiler defines the following variables that can be used anywhere in your Template:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Variable
+ 		+
Value
+
+ ${Date} + + The current date in short format. +
+ ${FileExt} + + The input file's extension. For example, the extension of C:\test.map would be + map. +
+ ${FileName} + + The input file's Name. For example, the name of C:\test.map would be test. +
+ ${FilePath} + + The input file's Path. For example, the path of C:\test.map would be C:\. +
+ ${InputPath} + + The input path (as set in the options form.) +
+ ${LogViewerPath} + + The full path to the log viewer (as set in the options form). +
+ ${OutputPath} + + The output path (as set in the options form.) +
+ ${StageCmd=XXX} + + The command list of a stage generated by Batch Compiler where XXX is the stage you want the + command list for. +
+ ${StageParam=XXX} + + The parameter list of a stage generated by Batch Compiler where XXX is the stage you want the + parameter list for. +
+ ${StagePath=XXX} + + The full path of a stage where XXX is the stage you want the full path for. +
+ ${StageTitle=XXX} + + The ftitle of a stage where XXX is the stage you want the title for. +
+ ${Time} + + The current time in short format. +
+ ${Version} + + The version of Batch Compiler you are using. +
+
+ +

It should be noted that when StagePath or StageParam occurs on a line, that line will + not be part of the batch if the stage is a program and it is not checked to run in Batch Compiler.

+ + + The Stage Element: +
+ +

The Stage element is used to specify the programs that are used to make up a Batch. + Each Stage makes up a tab in Batch Compiler. Here is a sample Stage:

+ +
+ Stage + { + Name "VIS" + Title "Visibility Index Set" + Type "Program" + Filter "HLVIS (hlvis.exe)|hlvis.exe" + + ComboBox + { + Name "Vis Type" + Bold "True" + Default "Normal" + Options "Fast,-fast|Normal,|Full,-full" + Hint "\tRun as fast or normal or full VIS." + } + + Space + { + Size "9" + } + + TextBox + { + Name "Additional Parameters" + Type "String" + Size "3" + Hint "\tAdd additional parameters here as you would a command line." + } + } +
+ +

This example illustrates how the Stage element is made up of other elements such as ComboBoxes + and TextBoxes. The various attributes that the Stage element can take are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Filter + + String + + Applications (*.exe)|*.exe + + The file filter to use when browsing for the stage's program in the standard windows format. +
+ Groups + + List + + N/A + + The list of all the element groups in the sage. You must list these if you wish to access + individual element groups. +
+ Name + + ID + + N/A + + The name of the stage. Must be unique. +
+ Title + + String + + N/A + + The title of the stage. +
+ Type + + Enumeration + + Program + + The type of stage the stage is. Options are Program, ParameterList and + CommandList. +
+
+ +
+ + + Control Elements: +
+ +

The Stage element is also made up of additional control elements which are used to define the + objects on the tab and the parameters of the program. Batch Compiler defines for the following control + elements: LabelBox, Space, CheckBox, TextBox, ComboBox, + FileBox, FolderBox and the ColorBox control element.

+ +

These control elements are placed on the tabs in a grid like manor. Each tab is divided into 11x3 + (33) grid boxes, each of which a control element can be added to. The position of the control elements + is determined automatically by the order of their creation, starting from the top left then making + their way down each column until it is full.

+ + + The LabelBox: +
+ +

The LabelBox is a simple control element that is used to provide headings for other control + elements. An example LabelBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ LabelBox + { + Name "Recommended File Deletions:" + Bold "True" + } +
+ +

The attributes that the LabelBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Bold + + Boolean + + False + + The element's bold state. +
+ Name + + ID + + N/A + + The name of the element. +
+ Size + + Integer + + 1 + + The width of the element in grid blocks. +
+
+ +
+ + + The Space: +
+ +

The Space is a simple control element that is used to provide vitrical spacing between control + elements. An example Space element is as follows:

+ +
+ Space + { + Size "3" + } +
+ +

The attributes that the Space element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Size + + Integer + + 1 + + The height of the element in grid blocks. +
+
+ +

When Batch Compiler encounters a Space element it simply moves ahead the specified number of + spaces (grid blocks) as if a sub class had been placed there. It is important to note that if you use + a 'Width' value greater then 1 for any of the sub classes, you'll need to use the 'Spaces' field to + prevent other sub classes from being placed on top of the wide sub class by jumping over any + additional grid blocks it takes up.

+ + + Option Elements: +
+ +

Option elements are used to define parameters and batch commands for use in your Batch. If + your Stage is of type Program or ParameterList the option created will be in the + format parameter value. If your Stage is of type CommandList the option created + will be in the format parameter\n.

+ +

All option elements allow you to create variable switches by using any of the following variables as + part of their parameter:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Variable
+ 		+
Value
+
+ ${Date} + + The current date in short format. +
+ ${FileExt} + + The input file's extension. For example, the extension of C:\test.map would be + map. +
+ ${FileName} + + The input file's Name. For example, the name of C:\test.map would be test. +
+ ${FilePath} + + The input file's Path. For example, the path of C:\test.map would be C:\. +
+ ${InputPath} + + The input path (as set in the options form.) +
+ ${LogViewerPath} + + The full path to the log viewer (as set in the options form). +
+ ${OutputPath} + + The output path (as set in the options form.) +
+ ${Time} + + The current time in short format. +
+ ${Version} + + The version of Batch Compiler you are using. +
+
+ +

Options that are part of a Stage of type CommandList (excluding CheckBox's) can + use the following additional variables:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Variable
+ 		+
Value
+
+ ${Value} + + The value of the option. +
+
+ +

The bellow example uses variables to delete an intermittent file. The parameter looks as follows:

+ +
+ CheckBox + { + Name "Delete .WIC After Compile" + Param "if not exist \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}.wic\" goto nodelwic\n"_ + "del \"${FilePath}\\${FileName}.wic\"\n"_ + "echo ${FilePath}\\${FileName}.wic deleted.\n"_ + ":nodelwic" + } +
+ +
+ + + The CheckBox: +
+ +

The CheckBox is a common control element that defines a single valueless switch. An example + CheckBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ CheckBox + { + Name "No WAD Textures" + Param "-nowadtextures" + Hint "\tInclude all used textures into bsp." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the CheckBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Bold + + Boolean + + False + + The element's bold state. +
+ Checked + + Boolean + + False + + The element's checked state. If true the element will be checked by default. +
+ Group + + String + + N/A + + The group the element belongs to. +
+ Hint + + String + + N/A + + The hint that is displayed when you hover your mouse over the element. +
+ Index + + Integer + + N/A + + The index of the element in the parameter list. +
+ Name + + ID + + N/A + + The name of the element. +
+ Param + + String + + N/A + + The switch to use for the element. +
+ Size + + Integer + + 1 + + The width of the element in grid blocks. +
+ Stages + + List + + N/A + + A list of stages that share the element. +
+
+ +
+ + + The TextBox: +
+ +

The TextBox is a common control element that defines a single switch with a value. An example + TextBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ TextBox + { + Name "Max Node Size" + Param "-maxnodesize" + Bold "True" + Type "Single" + Default "1024.0" + Min "64.0" + Max "8192.0" + Hint "\tSets the maximum portal node size." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the TextBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ Name + + ID + + N/A + + The name of the element. +
+ Param + + String + + N/A + + The switch to use for the element. +
+ Quote + + Boolean + + True + + The element's quote state. If true values with white space in them will be surounded in + quotes. +
+ Size + + Integer + + 1 + + The width of the element in grid blocks. +
+ Stages + + List + + N/A + + A list of stages that share the element. +
+ Type + + Enumeration + + String + + The type of value the element can take. Options are String, Integer and + Single. +
+
+ +
+ + + The ComboBox: +
+ +

The ComboBox is a common control element that defines a single switch with multipule fixed + values. An example ComboBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ ComboBox + { + Name "Max Node Size" + Param "-maxnodesize" + Bold "True" + Type "Single" + Default "1024.0" + Min "64.0" + Max "8192.0" + Hint "\tSets the maximum portal node size." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the ComboBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+
+ +

The ComboBox can also be a useful element for switching between multiple valueless switches. + For example, you can only start Half-Life in fullscreen or windowed mode, so if you wanted to switch + between the two you would do the following:

+ +
+ ComboBox + { + Name "Startup State" + Default "Fullscreen" + Options "Fullscreen,-full|Windowed,-win" + Hint "\tStart Half-Life with the following window state." + } +
+ +
+ + + The FileBox: +
+ +

The FileBox is a control element that defines a single switch that takes a file as a value. An + example FileBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ FileBox + { + Name "WAD File" + Param "-wadinclude" + FullPath "True" + Filter "WAD Files (*.wad)|*.wad" + Hint "\tPlace textures used by the wad file specified into the bsp." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the FileBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ +
+ FolderBox + { + Name "Folder" + Param "-folder" + + Hint "\tSpecify a folder that will be searched for bsp files." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the FolderBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

The ColorBox is a control element that defines a single switch that takes a color as a value. + An example ColorBox element is as follows:

+ +
+ ColorBox + { + Name "Ambient Light" + Param "-ambient" + Type "Single" + Default "0 0 0" + Hint "\tSet ambient world light." + } +
+ +

The attributes that the ColorBox element defines are as follows:

+ +
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Attribute
+ 		+
Type
+ 		+
Default
+ 		+
Value
+
+ Bold + + Boolean + + False + + The element's bold state. +

+ Type + + Enumeration + + String + + The type of value the color is defined with. Options are Integer and Single. + Integer values range from 0 to 255 and Single values range from 0.0 to 1.0. +
+
+ +
+ + + Shared Options: +
+ +

In some cases you have an option element that you want to include in multiple Stages. These + are called shared options. (An example of one of these would be the -texdata option in Zoners Tools, + you want this to be added to all Stages). This can be done with any option element through the + use of the Stages attribute. In the Stages attribute list all the Stages that you + want the option element to be used with. An example shared option is as follows:

+ +
+ TextBox + { + Name "Texture Data" + Param "-texdata" + Bold "True" + Stages "CSG|BSP|VIS|NetVIS|RAD|RipEnt" + Type "Integer" + + Default "4096" + Min "2048" + Hint "\tAlter maximum texture memory limit (in kb)." + } +
+ +

Note that shared options only appear in the Stage you create them in, but their options are + added to the parameter list of all the Program and ParameterList Stages they are + shared with.

+ + + Directives: +
+ +

Directives are special commands that tell the parser how to parse the specification file. The three + directives available are Define, Include and Once.

+ + + Define Directive: +
+ +

The Define directive allows you to define custom variables that can be used anywhere you can + use the variables that the Define is composed of. An example of the Define directive is + as follows:

+ +
+ Define "DateTime" "${Date} {$Time}" + Define "Author" "Ryan \"Nemesis\" Gregg" +
+ +

This defines a new variable, ${DateTime}, that you can use anywhere in place of ${Date} + ${Time}. This also defines a new variable, ${Author}, which you can use any where in + place of Ryan "Nemesis" Gregg. For example: echo ${Author}.

+ + + Include Directive: +
+ +

The Include directive allows you to include Batches and Stages defined in + another specification file in the current specification file. When you include a specification file it + is parsed separately from the specification file you included it from. This means the specification + file you include must be a complete standalone specification file. You cannot include a specification + file from within a Batch or Stage element. An example of the Include directive is + as follows:

+ +
+ Include "Batch.bci" +
+ +
+ + + Once Directive: +
+ +

If you Include a specification file more than once you will run into errors because you will + be declaring the elements in that specification file more than once. As a work around you can use the + Once directive to indicate that the specification file is only to be parsed once. The + Once directive should only be used at the top of a specification file. An example of the + Once directive is as follows:

+ +
+ Once +
+ +
+ + + Naming Conventions: +
+ +

As a convention, specification files that you wish to use with the Include directive but don't + wish to allow users to use as standalone specifications should be given the .bci (Batch Compiler + Include File) extension. Files that you wish to allow users to use as standalone specifications should + be given the .bcs (Batch Compiler Specification File) extension.

+ + + Comment Syntax: +
+ +

Comments can be added anywhere in specification files. Batch Compiler uses the standard C++ style + comment syntax to allow for both line and block comments. An example of correct line comment syntax is + as follows:

+ +
+ // This is a comment. + // The Bold attribute has been commented out, Batch Compiler + // will not parse it. + CheckBox + { + Name "No WAD Textures" + Param "-nowadtextures" + //Bold "True" + Hint "\tInclude all used textures into bsp." + } +
+ +

An example of correct block comment syntax is as follows:

+ +
+ /* + * This is a comment. + * The Below CheckBox has been commented out, Batch Compiler + * will not parse it. + */ + + /*CheckBox + { + Name "No WAD Textures" + Param "-nowadtextures" + Bold "True" + Hint "\tInclude all used textures into bsp." + }*/ +
+ +
+ + + Error Messages: +
+ +

When Batch Compiler encounters an error parsing a specification file it outputs an error message in + the format Error (line): message. The line number Batch Compiler reports isn't necessarily the + line that the error occurred on, it is the line Batch Compiler is on when it determines that there is + an error. This will typically be the line of the error or the line after the error but it could + potentially be any line after the error. If Batch Compiler encounters an error within an include file + Batch Compiler will stack the error messages with the lowest level include file on the bottom of the + stack. Below is an example error message:

+ +
Batch Compiler Error Message
+ +

In the above error message we can see that on or below line 18 of the specification file we are + loading there was an error parsing the include file Zoners Tools P Series.bci. We can also see + that on or below line 118 of the include file Batch Compiler encountered an attribute that did not + belong to an element. This attribute is most likely a misspelled Hint attribute.

+ + Opening a Specification File in Batch Compiler:
+ +

When Batch Compiler starts up it automatically searches the Batch Compiler\Specifications + directory for .bcs files to add to the Specifications menu. Because of this, all you have to do + is save your new .bcs file to your Batch Compiler\Specifications directory, then once Batch + Compiler has started, select it form the Specifications menu.

+ + Batch Compiler Preset Files:
+ +

When Batch Compiler saves a preset (.bcp) file it dynamically builds a XML database off of your + specification file's format. This allows Batch Compiler to load presets saved by any specification + file even if the specification file has been altered since you last saved the preset.

+ + Conclusion:
+ +

That pretty much concludes the Batch Compiler Specification file format. Hopefully now you will be + able to customize your specification files to your liking or create additional specification files for + other tools. Just one word of caution before you go editing specification files; when you do so, + please save them under a different name, this will save you from possibly loosing them if you ever + choose to download an update to Batch Compiler and it overwrites the changes you made to your + specification files.

+

+ i have made a spec file that among others applications supports steam, but i am having a problem as + steam requires the -applaunch tag to be the first that it gets, i would like to make it a ComboBox but + thees are add after all the CheckBox commands have been added so the only work around i have found is + making every game mode a CheckBox but thet files up a line just consisting of games when you can only + select one any way. could you either change it so that it adds the commands based on the order in the + bcs instead, or you could just make it add ComboBox before CheckBox bleeh tho this would cause a problem + if the opposed satiation + accrued.
+
+ another thing that would be nice to have would be if you could make the selection of a stage or option + wold force select/deselected a notes stage or option.
+
+ other then that this tool has made me very happy

+

+ I am aware of this problem, it is an issue with how Batch Compiler is coded and there is no easy fix. BC + v2.0.0 has been around for quite some time and it has become apparent to me that a rewrite (BC v3.0.0) + is necessary.
+
+ When I first released Batch Compiler your only options as far as compiling was concerned was Q Tools or + Zoners Tools. Now there are so many different utilities and versions of these tools that defining them + all in one BCS file is no longer particle and is a pain to maintain, modularization is required. There + are also other smaller issues like the one you have observed.
+
+ The next version of BC will has a very similar GUI but will be far more refined from a coding and + specification writing and maintenance viewpoint.

Creating + A Preset (Half-Life) - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 10:43:06 pm +
+
+
+

If you are coming from the Batch + Compiler Setup tutorial then you should already be prepared to start a new preset; otherwise, if + you have not set Batch Compiler up, please see the Batch + Compiler Setup tutorial.

+ +

To make sure that Batch Compiler is ready to create a new preset, go to the File menu and + select New Preset. Your screen should look like this (note it may differ if you are using a + different specification file):

+ +
+ +

We are going to create a typical "Full" preset that would be used on final BSP builds to produce the + highest quality BSP. The switches mentioned in this tutorial are not the only switches that can be + used for a "Full" compile. As you gain experience you will learn how to make use of the other switches + to tailor your map to your liking. They are, however, common switches for a "Full" compile.

+ +

The first stage we are going to look at is the CSG stage. Click the CSG tab. Next check the + WAD Auto Detect checkbox. I could explain to you what this switch does, however, if you simply + hover you mouse over the switch you will notice the text box at the bottom of your screen contains a + more then adequate explanation. (If you do not see this text box it can be made visible by selecting + Show Details under the Options menu). Next check the Clip Type checkbox. Now + you'll notice that when you check the Clip Type checkbox that a field opens up. This means you + can now edit the field. All the fields in Batch Compiler contain the default values used by the tools + and many of them also include simple error checking to insure you are entering the right type of value + (integer, single or string etc.) and that the value is within range. In the new field select a Clip + Type of Precise. Your screen should look like this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the VIS stage. Click the VIS tab. Next check the + VIS Type checkbox and select a VIS Type of Full. Your screen should look like + this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the RAD stage. Click the RAD tab. Next check the + Extra checkbox and the Bounce checkbox entering a value of 2 for the Bounce. Last + but not least, check the Direct Scale checkbox and enter a value of 1 for the Direct + Scale (this option should always be 1). Your screen should look like this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the Shared stage. Click the Shared tab. This stage + has special switches that are common to all of the Zoners Tools stages and so changing a value here + applies this change to all of these stages. Check the Chart option. Your screen should look + like this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the Batch stage. Click the Batch tab. This stage + contains options that are not associated with the Zoners Tools, but actual batch file commands. I am + going to check all the recommended file deletions to remove intermediate files used to compile the + BSP, and the BSP and PTS recommended file functions so my BSP and PTS files will be copied to my + output folder (as specified on the Options form). Your screen should look like this when you're done: +

+ +
+ +

Finally, lets look at the Steam stage. Click the Steam tab. This stage will already be + partially set up for you (Run Map and Game should be checked). Select the Game + you want to launch Steam to from the Game combobox. If you want to run a 3rd party MOD then you + will need to select Half-Life as your Game, then check the MOD checkbox and enter + the name of the 3rd party MOD. It can also be helpful to check the Developer checkbox to run + Half-Life in developer mode. Your screen may look like this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

Almost done, only two more steps to go... On the side of your screen you'll notice an additional + listbox labelled Stages. In the listbox select the stages you wish to run. This tutorial is + setup to run CSG, BSP, VIS, RAD, and Steam and thus I have them all selected as shown below:

+ +
+ +

Last but not least, we need to specify a MAP file before we can start compiling it. Under the + File menu select Open File. Then browse to and select a MAP file to compile. You'll + notice that the Run buttons are now enabled and this is your sign that you are ready to compile + your map. You screen should look like this when you are ready:

+ +
+ +

To compile your map simply press the Run button, an MS DOS window will pop up and your map + will commence compiling. If the compiling tools (not Batch Compiler) report + any errors, please see this + site.

+ +

Now that you have set up a "Full" compiler preset, let's add it to your Presets menu for easy + access. Please continue to the next + page.

+ hey i have mine setup exactly like this, the only problem is when i run the compile, and then run the + map it doesnt show my lights, just a solid light color throughout the whole map, it use to take longer + to compile but it would show all of my lights. Is the problem with worldcraft or with the compiler. In + my map properties i have default light level set to 0. I have checked and rechecked to make sure my + compiler settings are the same as this. Can someone please help me.

+ Hey, first time posting here. Need help. I'm not exactly sure what happened after Valve Hammer Editor + compiled my map and then was loading it, but then, I get this while loading in CS:
+
+ executing valve.rc
+ executing language.cfg
+ "deathmatch" changed to "1"
+ execing config.cfg
+ can't use keys or values with a \
+ "sv_aim" changed to "1.000000"
+
+ adding: dll loaded for mod halflife
+ execing skill.cfg
+ map change failed: 'bigbox' not found on server execing cofig.cfg
+ can't use keys or values with a \
+
+ and that is all that I know. well, first of all, I can see why it was not found on server because I + don't have one. but, do you HAVE to have one to run a map??? any suggestions??? anyone know what my + problem is ??? thanks.

+ I get the same error message, "A required .DLL file, MSVCP70.DLL, was not found.
+ I am running Win98, and I believe this is a Microsoft .NET file. I am about to install .NET, so we'll + see if that is the fix for me.
+ shrug
+
+

+
+
+
14. GryphonPosted: Feb 15th, 2004 - 2:46:13 pm +
+
+

+ Yes, I fixed it.
+ No, it wasn't .NET
+ I finally just searched for the file: I found a copy in my Army Operations install. I put the file into + the same directory as the tools. Then, it wanted MSVCR70.DLL, which I found in the same place. It was + confusing at first, because I didn't notice that it was looking for a different file.
+
+ That was it! everything compiles fine now.
+
+

+
+
+
15. GryphonPosted: Feb 17th, 2004 - 3:05:55 pm +
+
+

+ I probably should clarify - I am not using your Batch Compiler; I am still using Autolycus' old batch + file. I just happened upon this page because I was looking for a solution for my problem.

Creating + A Preset (Source) - NemPosted: Feb 10th, 2005 - 2:14:25 am +
+
+
+

If you are coming from the Batch + Compiler Setup tutorial then you should already be prepared to start a new preset; otherwise, if + you have not set Batch Compiler up, please see the Batch + Compiler Setup tutorial.

+ +

To make sure that Batch Compiler is ready to create a new preset, go to the File menu and + select New Preset. Your screen should look like this (note it may differ if you are using a + different specification file):

+ +
+ +

We are going to create a typical "Fast" preset that would be used on test BSP builds to quickly + preview a BSP. The switches mentioned in this tutorial are not the only switches that can be used for + a "Fast" compile. As you gain experience you will learn how to make use of the other switches to + tailor your map to your liking. They are, however, common switches for a "Fast" compile.

+ +

The first stage we are going to look at is the BSP stage. Click the BSP tab. This tab doesn't + have any options that will greatly speed up the compiling process so leave everything as it is, but + feel free to examine the options.

+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the VIS stage. Click the VIS tab. Next check the + VIS Type checkbox and select a VIS Type of Fast. Your screen should look like + this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the RAD stage. Click the RAD tab. Next check the + RAD Type checkbox and select a RAD Type of Fast. Your screen should look like + this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the Shared stage. Click the Shared tab. This stage + has special switches that are common to all of the Source Tools stages and so changing a value here + applies this change to all of these stages. If you are going to be working on your computer while your + map compiles you might want to set the Priority option to Low, otherwise leave this + stage alone. Your screen may look like this when you're done:

+ +
+ +

The next stage we are going to look at is the Batch stage. Click the Batch tab. This stage + contains options that are not associated with the Source Tools, but actual batch file commands. I am + going to check all the recommended file deletions to remove intermediate files used to compile the + BSP, and the BSP and LIN recommended file functions so my BSP and LIN files will be copied to my + output folder (as specified on the Options form). Your screen should look like this when you're done: +

Finally, lets look at the Steam stage. Click the Steam tab. This stage will already be + partially set up for you (Run Map and Game should be checked). Select the Game + you want to launch Steam to from the Game combobox. Your screen should look like this when + you're done:

To compile your map simply press the Run button, an MS DOS window will pop up and your map + will commence compiling. Note: the Steam service must be running before you can compile your map. + If the compiling tools (not Batch Compiler) report any errors, please see this + site.

I've set up Batch Compiler now with the fast preset etc and selected the map to + compile and pressed "Run". The Dos window opens and closes almost directly afterwards.
+
+ I figured the compile was complete and went into CS:S to create server to have a looksy, but the map + wasn't there.
+
+ So for some reason, it's not actually compiling?

I downloaded and updated this great tool, but got an error when selecting a + specification:
+
+ Error (16): Error parsing include file Source Tools.bci.
+ Error (389): Error parsing attribute "Min", invalid attribute string "0.0".
+
+ If you encounter this error, open file "Source Tools.bci" with a text editor and remove decimals from + all Min and Max values in all TextBox blocks.
+
+ Min "0.0"
+ Max "100.0"
+
+ should be
+
+ Min "0"
+ Max "100"
+
+ Hope this hepls.

+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Crafty, I get the following error message:
"This application has failed + to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application + may fix this problem."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Crafty is written in C++ .NET v2.0 and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the + downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Crafty, I get the following error message:
"The application failed to + initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click ok to terminate the application."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Crafty is written in C++ .NET v2.0 and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the + downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Crafty, I get the following error message:
"A required .DLL file, + MSCOREE.DLL, was not found."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Crafty is written in C++ .NET v2.0 and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the + downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open an object in Crafty, I get the following error message:
"Error: + wglUseFontBitmaps() failed."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Try using a different font driver:

+
    +
  1. Shutdown Crafty.
    2. +
  2. Open your ov.ini file.
    3. +
  3. Find the argument Engine.FontDriver and set it equal to Sprite (texture + based fonts) or Null (no fonts). WGL (bitblit fonts) are the default.
    4. +
  4. Save your changes.
    5. +
  5. Start Crafty.

    +
    6. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I set Crafty up?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

To set Crafty up:

+
    +
  1. Start Crafty.
    2. +
  2. Select Setup then Options.
    3. +
  3. Under the File System tab, select your Steam Directory then the User + Name whose custom content you wish to use.
    4. +
  4. Click OK.
    5. +
  5. Click Setup then Profiles and select the modification whose content you + wish to open.
    6. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I load a level, it is missing textures or models or other resources.

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Crafty needs to know where to look for any resources referenced by a particular level. To + do this, Crafty makes use of Profiles which tell Crafty which packages to look in and + which search paths to use. Prior to loading any level, you must first make sure that the + game or game modification you are loading content for is selected in the Profiles + list in the Setup menu.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

I don't see my game or game modification in the Profiles list.

+
+
A.
+ 		+

One drawback to the Profile approach is there is no way I can include a profile for + every modification, I can only do so for modifications I own. If you want to add support for + a custom modification, you must edit the Specifications\GameInfoCustom.csf file in + any text editor to add support. It is quite simple to do, the aforementioned file contains + detailed instructions.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How can I extend the Material Browser to view .tga files for Source games?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

If you want to view both .vmt and .tga files for Source games, edit + ...\Crafty\Specifications\GameInfo.csf changing the Filter for the source + MaterialBrowser from *.vmt to *.tga;*.vmt (should be line 65)

+
+
+ +

+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch GCFScape I get the following error message:
"This application has + failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the + application may fix this problem."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape v1.4.0 and up is written in C++ .NET v2.0 and such as requires the .NET runtimes + to run. See the downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch GCFScape I get the following error message:
"The application failed to + initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click ok to terminate the application."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape is written in C++ .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch GCFScape I get the following error message:
"A required .DLL file, + MSCOREE.DLL, was not found."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape is written in C++ .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See the downloads + page for more information.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Are GCF files compressed archives?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

No.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

What are GCF files then?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCF (Assumed to stand for Game Cache File) files can best be compared to a virtual file + system not unlike FAT or other common file systems. The virtual file system supports meta + data, file fragments, checksums and other minor features. GCF files are the backbone of + Steam's content delivery system.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Why do I have to close Steam to open a GCF file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape uses a technique called file mapping to directly access data in a GCF file as you + would data in memory. This is a useful technique because it means GCFScape doesn't have to + read tons of data into memory to read a GCF file and it can read a GCF file without having + to seek all over the place.

+

Because Steam opens GCF files in read/write mode and is liable to change the contents of + any GCF file at any time, GCFScape requires that you close Steam. If Steam was open and it + changed the contents of a GCF file while it was mapped, GCFScape would become unstable and + likely crash.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open a package I get the following error message:
"Failed to open file." +

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape requires strict read rights to a package file to maintain stability. Make sure the + package file is not open in any other program including Steam. As a work around you can + enable Volatile Access from the Options menu. Note: this may cause + GCFScape to become unstable if Steam is updating the package you have open.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open a GCF file I get the following error message:
"Invalid GCF version number + (vX)."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape does not know how to read the GCF file version you are attempting to open. This + could be because it is an old GCF file version that I haven't yet added support for (due to + the fact that I don't know what the format is) or a new GCF file version that a recent Steam + update produced. Either way let me know.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open a package I get the following error message:
"Corrupt file."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape will display this error when it maps a package file to memory only to find there + is not enough data in the file for the resulting map. This may or may not mean your file is + corrupt but almost certainly means GCFScape would crash it continued to load your package + file.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I open a package I get the following error message:
"Failed to map view of + file."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

GCFScape will display this error when the system call MapViewOfFile() fails. This can + happen on older operating systems with primitive virtual memory management. As a work around + you can disable File Mapping from the Options menu. Note: disabling + File Mapping will incur a memory and performance penalty.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I press the Extract button, a Browse for Folder dialog appears but there + is no directory tree to allow me to select a folder.

+
+
A.
+ 		+

There is an unfortunate bug with the .NET framework that causes this dialog to operate + incorrectly. This is a pretty rare occurrence, but there is a workaround:

+
    +
  1. Close GCFScape.
    2. +
  2. Open the gcfscape.cfg file, located in your GCFScape directory, in notepad.
    3. +
  3. Set the GCFScape.ExtractDirectory argument to a folder on your hard drive such as + C:\.
    4. +
  4. Open GCFScape and extract your file.
    5. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I extract a file I get the following error message:
"Error writing [filename] + (File contains no physical data to write)."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

This error occurs when you attempt to extract a file that has no physical data associated + with it. This is a file that exists in the directory tree but which Steam has not yet + downloaded. Use Steam to make sure the file is fully acquired.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I create a GCF file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

As of yet, not enough is known about the GCF file format to programmatically create one. + There are still plenty of unknown fields that need an understanding before a GCF file can be + created. That said there is also no guarantee that creating a GCF file is all that is needed + for Steam to recognize and make use of it. Some other registration might be required and may + not be possible without hacking Steam. For these reasons I have no plans to add the ability + to create a GCF file.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I modify a GCF file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

The purpose of the GCF file is to make it easy for Steam to update Valve's software. When a + new version of a program (say CS) is released, all Steam has to do is look in the CS GCF + file and compare versions (hashes) of each file to determine if each file needs to be added, + updated or removed. Because of this, if you were to modify a file, Steam would interpret + this as meaning that the file is out of date and redownload the correct version of the file. +

+

Steam does, however, provide an interface to add or overwrite a file. To add or overwrite a + file simply place it in the corresponding directory in the Steam\SteamApps\[EMail]\[GCF + File] directory on your hard drive. You might have to create the appropriate subdirectories. +

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Will GCFScape be able to create or modify GCF files in the future?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Not likely.

+
+
+ +

Ask a question...

HLLib + - NemPosted: May 23rd, 2005 - 6:32:20 pm +

+
About: + +

HLLib is a package library for Half-Life that abstracts several package formats and provides a simple + interface for all of them. HLLib is written in native C++ but exposes both a C and C++ interface which + can be used in any C or C++ application (additional languages may also use the library with standard C + imports). HLLib works natively in both Windows (x86 and x64) and Linux. BSP, GCF, NCF, PAK, VPK, WAD, + XZP and uncompressed ZIP package formats are supported.

+ +

HLLib is an open source library licensed under the LGPL. It comes with the source code and binaries + necessary to use it. An example application called HLExtract, which is licensed under the GPL, is also + included. HLExtract is a command line utility written in C that can load all HLLib supported packages + and extract multiple items from them while maintaining their directory structure.

Terrain + Generator FAQ - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 11:34:58 pm +
+
+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Terrain Generator I get the following error message:
"The application + failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click ok to terminate the application." +

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Terrain Generator is written in C# .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See + the downloads + page for more information.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

When I launch Terrain Generator I get the following error message:
"A required .DLL + file, MSCOREE.DLL, was not found."

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Terrain Generator is written in C++ .NET and such as requires the .NET runtimes to run. See + the downloads + page for more information.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

Can I use Terrain Generator in a commercial project?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Terrain Generator is freeware and any content created by it is the sole property of the + creator. As such any content created by TG may be distributed for both commercial and + non-commercial purposes at the creators will. The only restriction as stated (I hope) in + TG's readme is that the software itself my not be redistributed commercially or used to + promote the distribution of a commercial product. (i.e. You can package it on a CD and then + sell that CD.)

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I load textures into TG?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

+ + From the Tools menu select Options and navigate to the Packages tab. + The Add Package button can be used to load Half-Life WAD3 texture packages and the + Add Folder can be used to load .bmp, .jpg, .tga and .wal textures from a folder on + your hard drive. You must first start a terrain before you can access the tools menu.

+
 
+
Q.
+ 		+

How can I move the camera in the 3D view?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

To rotate the camera press and hold your right mouse button in the 3D view and move it + around. To position the camera use your arrow or WASD keys.

+
+
+ +

Terrain + Generator v1.2.0 - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 5:05:37 pm +
+
+
+
    +
  • TG - Hint brush option added. Program remembers what maps you've told it to export the hint + brushes to and the textures assigned to the hint brushes (the skip and hint textures). These can + also be changed in the map properties form (for compatibility with other games etc).
    • +
  • TG - Mixed Style added to the new map form. It's basically a mix of all three styles (X, + //, and \\), which I added to make the terrain seem more random.
    • +
  • TG - Rewrote Slope Generation code to produce an almost completely flat surface without the + weird ridge (the only reason it isn't is because it gets knocked to the grid). The new code is far + faster, and the value bar is now out of 256, 256 having a peak at the 4096 limit, and 1 being + virtually flat.
    • +
  • TG - Sky Box Option added. It works pretty much the same way as the hint brushes.
    • +
  • TG - Export Again button added, map remembers where it was last exported to.
    • +
  • TG - Pressing "Cancel" in the New Map form loosing the path to the current TGM file fixed. +
    • +
  • TG - "Save" button not being enabled even though it should be fixed.
    • +
  • TG - Program remembers its width and height if not minimized or maximized.
    • +
  • TG - In vertex mode, the vertex origin is displayed instead of the triangles origin.
    • +
  • TG - Hovering your mouse over the "Steepness" slider bar gives you the angle in degrees and + the maximum elevation change.
    • +
  • TG - Editor texture Dialog Box altered to show all supported files.
    • +
  • TG - Export Filename automatically filled in with TGMname.map.
    • +
  • NOTE - The TGM file format has slightly changed, old TGM files will be converted to the new + format automatically when next saved but new TGM files will not be compatible with older versions of + TG.
    • +
  • NOTE - The sky box button adds a bottom brush to the box because using the X/Y axis + manipulation button it is possible to create a leak (as the side of the terrain can be made not to + be a straight line). If this is not the case in your map I'd recommend you delete it as the bottom + faces of all the terrain brushes won't be deleted by zoners if you don't.

Cliffs + III: Your Cliffs In Hammer - NemPosted: Jul 3rd, 2003 - 11:35:08 pm +
+
+
+

This tutorial covers what to do with your Terrain Generator created terrain in Hammer. It is a + continuation of the Texturing + Cliffs tutorial and assumes you have a .RMF of your terrain.

+ +

First things first, let's load up the terrain TG created in Hammer. You'll notice that everything is + how it was in TG only now each quad has been replaced with two five face brushes. You'll also notice + that TG has added some handy VIS Groups to your level, one for the sky brushes contained in the + terrain, one for the hint brushes contained in the terrain (which are currently invisible) and one for + the terrain itself. Your map should look something like:

+ +
+ +

It also is important to note that because TG deals with quads, some for the new brushes may not be + textured correctly as shown below:

+ +
+ +

You'll want to clean these up.

+ +
+ +

Now we've come quite a way to completing our terrain, but there is still a fair bit of work left to + be done. We have a massive world with a few thousand brushes and were going to want to remove as many + brushes that aren't visible form the ground as we can to save both on r_speeds and .BSP limitations. + The below picture illustrates just which brushes to target.

+ +
+ +

There isn't really any simple way to do this other then brush by brush deletion, whenever possible + try to follow the contours of the terrain for a seamless as possible result as shown below:

+ +
+ +

This is what my final terrain looked like:

+ +
+ +

Notice how the center of the level has also been removed? This will allow us to block the line of + sight from one side of the map to the other reducing r_speeds and compile times. Finally fill these + gaps back up with sky brushes that extend all the way to the ceiling. And that's it, just add a light + and a player start and you're ready to compile:

2. xantePosted: Oct 21st, 2003 - 11:39:55 pm +

+

+ Could you show a better picture of what to delete, the image for the brushs to delete is kinda small. A + quick flash animation or something would be very appreciated. :)
+
+

+
+
+
3. NemModified: Aug 6th, 2006 - 6:49:10 pm +
+
+
There is nothing really special about which brushes to delete, what you want to focus + on is the brushes that you can't see when you're on the ground (the ones that curve over the top of the + cliffs). You may find it easier to compile your map (without running VIS) to see which brushes to + delete.
+

+
+

+
+
+
5. NemPosted: Apr 27th, 2004 - 7:03:58 pm +
+
+

+ You can prevent TG from exporting them by going to the File->Export->Export Options form then to + the '.RMF' tab then by unchecking the 'Use Hints' option or you can simply hide the VIS group in + Hammer.

+ Is there an easy way to make the sky fit the contour of all the brushes you delete? also, would it be + possible for you to post pictures that aren't quite so dark. it is pretty hard to see that you are + actually changing anything until the end

9. NemPosted: Nov 7th, 2004 - 10:23:56 am +
+
+

+ To be honest, there isn't any real easy way to make the sky fit the contour of the brushes.
+
+ I did a search for the tutorial RMF to see if I could upload it but I couldn't find it. I may redo it if + I get a chance.

+ What version of Hammer? The RMF TG exports is NOT for the Source Hammer editor (try a MAP file).

Hey Nem, got it working, thanks. Oh I have a question.. what textures are you using? + and how do you do the sky thing? I don't have a sky texture and I'm using the halflife.wad. Am I doing + something wrong? Also you could highlight a lot of the things at a time and delete them. Makes things + easier.. I reduced my map in about 5 minutes..... well anyway... could you explain the sky thing again + and what textures are you using? Thanks
+

+
+
+
14. NemPosted: Mar 4th, 2005 - 1:24:57 pm +
+
+
The textures are mostly from the various DOD .wad files.
+
+ The sky can be set in the Options form. Go to the textures tab and specify the six files that make up + the skybox. This is a cosmetic option only.
+

+
+
+
15. sotangModified: Mar 5th, 2005 - 10:23:28 pm +
+
+
yeah, but I do not have a skybox texture.... it's not included in my halflife.wad. I + do not currently have any custom .wad's either... hmmm and I have two questions. How do I add a tree and + how do I get a forest type sky...? Thanks

Cliffs + II: Texturing Cliffs - NemPosted: Jul 3rd, 2003 - 11:48:43 pm +
+
+
+

This tutorial covers some of the basic tools TG provides for texturing your terrain. It is a + continuation of the Making + Cliffs tutorial and assumes you have a similar terrain to texture.

+ +

The terrain we generated in the previous tutorial consists of two basic layers, the cliffs and the + paths between the cliffs. This is the perfect setup for the 'Texture Layering Tool'. Let's load it up. + From the 'Tools' menu select 'Textures' then 'Set Texture Layers'. Your screen should look like this: +

+ +
+ +

First off we need to set the lower and upper bound for the path layer. For the 'Lower Bound' select + something that falls below the 'Min' value, for the 'Upper Bound' select something approximately one + third up from the 'Min' value in relation to the 'Max' value. If you're a little confused about what + values to use just use something you think will fall around the general range of the height of the + path.

+ +

Next we need to select what texture we want to use in this layer, since this is the path layer I + decided to use a grass texture. To browse through your currently loaded textures press the button with + the two dots beside the 'Texture' field. A window will pop up and you can select a texture by double + clicking it as shown below:

+ +
+ +

Next you will need to select a 'Steep Texture' this is the texture that will be used on faces that + have a greater incline then that of the 'Steep Angle' i.e. the cliffs. For this I have selected a rock + texture. When you are satisfied with the path layer press the 'Add' button. Your screen should look + something like:

+ +
+ +

Next we need to add the cliff layer, for the 'Lower Bound' select the previous layer's 'Upper Bound' + and for the 'Upper Bound' use a value greater then the 'Max' value. Once you have the bounds set you + need to select a 'Texture' for the layer. For this use the same texture that you used for the previous + layer's 'Steep Texture'. Once you are happy with the cliff layer press the 'Add' button to add it to + our list of layers. It should all look something like:

+ +
+ +

Finally press the 'Apply' button to retexture the terrain using your custom texture layers. Your end + result should look something like this (if it doesn't you can go back and edit the texture layers you + created until you get the desired texturing.):

+ +
+ +

Now while the 'Layer Texturing Tool' will do most of the texturing for you, you'll still notice that + there will be a few quads textured without the correct texture as shown below:

+ +
+ +

To fix this simply select the 'Paintbrush' tool from the 'Tools' menu and browse to the correct + texture using the controls on the left of the form. Once you have the correct texture selected left + click and drag your mouse over the terrain you wish to retexture. The end result should look something + like:

+ +
+ +

Now were going to want to increase the scale of the textures to help eliminate that ugly tiling + effect. With the 'Paintbrush' tool move your mouse until its selection is over the grass textured + quads. Next press 'M' on your keyboard to mark that quad as shown below:

+ +
+ +

Next head over to the alignment tab on the left and jack the U and V scale up to about 4. This will + change the scale of the selected quad as shown below:

+ +
+ +

This is all very well and good but we want these settings to be applied to all of the grass textured + quads. Fortunately for us there is a simple painless way to do this. With the scaled quad still marked + select 'Tools' then 'Textures' and finally 'Wrap All From Marked'. Now all the grass textured quads + should all be scaled and aligned to the marked quad as shown below:

+ +
+ +

All that's left now is to repeat this process with the rock textured terrain. When all's said and + done your end result should look something like:

+ +
+ +

Last but not least we're going to export out terrain for use in Hammer. From the 'File'menu select + 'Export' then 'Export Options'. This will bring up the 'Terrain Generator Options' form and allow us + to customize how the terrain is exported to the .RMF file. Select the below options:

+ +
+ +

Finally from the 'File' menu select 'Export' and then '.RMF File' and export your terrain to + somewhere on your disk (be sure to save it too so you can load it up and edit it later). We are now + ready to prepare our terrain for Half-Life. Please continue to the next + page.

+ is there a way to make it so that there is null textures on the 90 degrees or which ones u cant see for + lag reduction?

4. NemPosted: May 8th, 2004 - 11:49:19 am +

+

+ I'm sure you could use the Texture Layering Tool to accomplish that...

+ Excellent application!
+
+ But i have a question: when i use the raise tool (or
+ mountain tool), and then create a high textured mountain appears an ugly "texture clamping" effect in + the textures. This happens when quads are stretched too much in a high cliffs. So, how can i avoid this? + It could be possible to repeat the textures in those quads to eliminate this effect?
+
+

+
+
+
6. NemPosted: Aug 30th, 2004 - 10:05:48 pm +
+
+

+ There is no automatic system for this; you'd have to manually adjust the texture on each face.

I have used the "mark" and then U-V up to 4.00. I hit nothing else, and then I go to + Tools
+ ->Textures->Wrap All from Marked. I do this and nothing happens. I tried it with the rock wall + too, nothing. Is there something else I have to do? I still have the box checked when I'm doing it too. + It's just like you showed, but it won't work...exhausted. Lol gettin flustered with this. Oh well, it's an AWESOME + program anyway A++++++ good work Nem.

Because of the way the control works in Windows, you can't just type in 4, you have + to use the arrows (or type 4 then use the arrows).

Trying to export to vmf I get:
+
+ terrain size not divisible by displacement subdivision size
+ terrain size should be a multiple of 4, 8 or 16 (and the appropriate displacement power selected)
+
+ I've tried subdivision size 2, 3, and 4. Terrain size is 30, 30, 256
+
+ X range: 7680
+ Y range: 7680
+ Z range: 1838
+ multiply them is divisible by 4, 8, AND 16
+
+ So I've tried every option and still get the error on export - any suggestions? Thanks
+

10. NemPosted: Mar 8th, 2005 - 5:22:16 pm +

Sorry, to clarify, the amount of triangles on each axis should be divisible by 4, 8 + or 16 (preferably one of the latter two), not the physical dimensions. For example, 32, 32, and 256 + would work for all three.
+

+
+
+
11. c0uchm0nsterPosted: Mar 8th, 2005 - 5:26:37 pm +

ah, thanks - you might want to change that in your tutorial on page 1 of the cliffs + stuff, as it suggests 30 30 256
+ guess i've gotta start over sad +

12. NemPosted: Mar 8th, 2005 - 5:43:56 pm +

Well, keep in mind that this tutorial was designed for Half-Life, not Half-Life 2. + For Half-Life 2 I would suggest something more like 160, 160, 96. This will give you a very large + detailed terrain.

I see under 'Texture Browser' in pic 2 there are a few folders to choose textures + under 'WAD Files/terrain' like 'grass' 'dirt' etc etc. I am extremely new at this so I have to ask this + question. Where or how do i get texture folders like that? Do i need some sort of .wad viewer to sort + through textures and put them into a folder? or.... please help
+
+

How do you set the Background image or SKY Image?
I + would like to use an outside/myown background if that possable?

By the way this is a great + tool. happy
+

+
+
+
15. NemPosted: Apr 16th, 2005 - 1:15:04 pm +
+
+
The texture grouping is done by <wadname>.wdl files located in your ...\Terrain + Generator\config\wads folder. These are simple text files that are used to tell Terrain Generator how to + group textures, but are not necessary for viewing them.
+
+ The background is set in the Options form under the Textures tab. There are six dialogs that allow you + to select each of the six faces in your skybox. Terrain Generator expects the textures to be in the + standard Half-Life format. They have no effect on the outcome of your terrain.

Cliffs + I: Generating Cliffs - NemPosted: Jul 4th, 2003 - 12:01:39 am +
+
+
+

This tutorial series goes through the basic steps needed to create a cliff based level for Half-Life. + Additionally it will cover many of TG's basic tools, generation and texturing features as well as how + to plan your level to insure it performs well in Half-Life.

+ +

First off we need to create some starting terrain. To do this we first need to access the 'New + Terrain' form in TG. From the 'File' menu select 'New'. For this tutorial I chose to use a setting of + 48 triangles along the X and Y axis with a triangle size of 160 units. This will produce a large + +/-3840 unit level which is just inside the +/-4096 hard-coded Half-Life limit. Your screen should + look something like this:

+ +
+ +

Now it is important to note that increasing the size of each triangle and decreasing the number of + triangles along each axis will reduce r_speeds and compile times, so feel free to experiment with + these values as I have chosen a very detailed terrain. Other configurations such as 40/40/192 and + 30/30/256 will all result in the same sized terrain with the latter containing approximately 40% of + the triangles. Once you are happy with your setting hit 'OK', you should now be staring at some + terrain:

+ +
+ +

Next we are going to add some generated features to the terrain. From the 'Terrain' menu select + 'Generate'. Under the 'Geometric' tab check the 'Circle Algorithm' and fill in the below settings, + this will produce some mild bumpy features on the terrain.

+ +
+ +

We next want to smooth these features down to be less obtrusive. To do this we will use both the + 'Smooth' and 'Erode' options under the 'Smoothing' tab. Your settings should look something like:

+ +
+ +

Finally, since this is random terrain, we will probably want to try the generation features a couple + of times until we get one that most suits are needs, to do this we will need to reset the terrain from + generation to generation. Under the 'Miscellaneous' tab select the 'Reset' option and give it a value + of 0:

+ +
+ +

Now that we have everything set up all we have to do is press the 'Generate' button. This will close + the 'Terrain Generation Features' form and generate our settings on the terrain. The end result we are + looking for is shown below, basically a flat yet uneven landscape. If you are not happy with the + result all you have to do is select 'Regenerate' from the 'Terrain' menu and a new set of features + will be generated. Feel free to experiment with the settings until you're happy with your starting + terrain. Here is what my terrain currently looks like:

+ +
+ +

Next we are going to add some height variations to our terrain to build the cliffs off of. Select + 'Raise/Lower' from the 'Tools' menu and drag four or five sections of the terrain up 1000-2000 units. + Your end result should look something like (I know it looks silly):

+ +
+ +

We are about to perform some pretty severe alterations to our terrain so it might be a good idea to + back it up first, in the 'Edit' menu select 'Push Revert'. This will save a copy of your terrain on + TG's Undo/Redo stack which you can pop back up at any time (restoring your terrain back to the state + it was in when you pushed it on the stack (phew)).

+ +

Next lets create some cliffs. Grab the 'Flatten' tool from the 'Tools' menu and position it so its + selection is on top of one of the chunks of terrain we raised with the 'Raise/Lower' tool. Now press + and hold your left mouse button and drag your selection outlining any paths you want to create in your + terrain. If you're confused check the below picture and you should be able to figure out what I mean. + If you screw up you can always select 'Undo' from the 'Edit' menu, or if there aren't enough undo + states to undo what you've done, just pop the revert state back with the 'Pop Revert' button. Your end + result should look something like:

+ +
+ +

Now we've got some nice smooth paths running through some horrible blocky terrain. Let's remedy that + shall we? What we basically want to do is smooth the cliff portion of our terrain without touching our + paths (the terrain in between the cliffs). From the 'Tools' menu select the 'Lock' tool. Next proceed + to drag this tool along the paths of your terrain highlighting all the vertices you want to lock in + green. If you lock anything you didn't want to you can either press 'Undo' or use the 'Unlock' tool. + Your paths should be highlighted as shown below:

+ +
+ +

To complete our cliffs out were going to perform some erosion and smoothing on them via the 'Terrain + Generation Options' form (from the 'Terrain' menu select 'Generate'). First make sure nothing we don't + want to run is checked, right click anywhere on the form and select 'Uncheck All Options' (or just go + through each tab unchecking everything as you go). Next fill out the 'Smoothing' tab to look something + like:

+ +
+ +

Finally hit the 'Generate' button and your cliffs should appear all smooth without affecting your + paths. Here is what my terrain currently looks like:

+ +
+ +

From here you may continue to modify your terrain until you have it exactly as you want it. If you + wish to unlock all the locked vertices you can accomplish this by selecting 'Tools' then 'Locking' + then 'Unlock All Points'. Once you are happy with your terrain head on over to the next + page and we'll discus how to texture it.

They are locked away in your GCF files. You need to use GCFScape to extract the ones + you want.

Ah, OK. Terrain Generator was designed for Half-Life 1 and as such texturing for + Half-Life 2 is kind of limited (at this point). It can still be done, however, read my various posts in + this + thread to see how.
+
+ One of my priority projects is a rewrite of Terrain Generator (i.e. v4) to add full Source support and + interoperability and to improve the rendering engine to support larger terrains.

Making + A Cave - NemPosted: May 26th, 2003 - 11:03:17 pm +
+
+
+

In this sample tutorial I will describe one of the best ways to create a cave in Terrain Generator. + This tutorial also shows the general use of the Raise/Lower and Touch-Up tools as well as the + smoothing pass.

+ +

First off we need to generate our starting terrain. Because this is only a small cave I chose 12 * 12 + dimensions with the Length set to 128 units. Don't use any of the other generation options for this + step.

+ +
+ +

Once you've got the terrain ready select the 'Touch-Up' tool. With it lock all the vertecies that you + don't want to use for your cave, ie outline the shape of your cave by locking all the vertecies + outside of it. To lock a vertex simply press the 'L' key when you have it highlighted. You can cycle + through the selected vertex in a square by rolling your mouse wheel. Also locking lots of vertecies + tends to slow the program down, to fix this you can choose not to highlight locked vertecies in the + 'View-->Highlight' menu. Your final outline should look something like this:

+ +
+ +

Next alter the heights of the vertecies on the border of the outline with the 'Touch-Up' tool so that + they form a uneven outline. Note you can use the 'Page Up' and 'Page Down' keys for greator control: +

+ +
+ +

Now were going to make the bottom half of our cave. With the Raise/Lower tool make a rough outline of + the shape of the caves base. Next run it through a smoothing pass (in the 'Map' menu) this will give + you a good smooth general shape to work off of. Finally add some roughness back into the terrain with + the 'Raise/Lower', 'Noise', or 'Touch-Up' tool (up to you). Your result may look something like this: +

+ +
+ +

Now that the bottom of our cave is complete were ready to export it. In the 'File-->Export' menu + select the 'Exportation Options'. I'd recommend you use the 'Best Fit' style and uncheck the 'Hints' + and 'Sky Brushes'. Also make sure for the 'Direction' you have 'Flatten Bottom' selected. Now that + your ready export it using the 'Export to .MAP File' command:

+ +
+ +

Next were going to take the terrain we made for the bottom of the cave and reuse it for the top. + Simply take the 'Raise/Lower' tool and following the steps used before do the same thing only make it + a hill instead of a valley. Your finished result may look something like:

+ +
+ +

Again were going to export the terrain only this time were going to set the 'Direction' to 'Flatten + Top'. Once you've done that export the terrain again (only to a different file):

+ +
+ +

For this next step I'm going to be using the QuArK editor. However, this step does not require any + special features and simply reading what I write should be enough for you WorldCraft users to follow. + Start a new map in your editor and copy and paste the cave bottom and cave top into it. Then simply + align the two together (because we locked the outer vertecies it'll be a perfect fit)! It should look + something like this when your done:

+ +
+ +

Next we can clean it up a bit by deleting any unused triangles:

+ +
+ +

And last but not least we'll add some funky lighting, a walkway, and stick a little hole in the roof + for looks. This is what my finished terrain looked like in Half-Life. Not bad eh?

+ +
+

+

+ +
+ +

I've uploaded my finished map so you can take a look at it. Unfortunately the map is phrased in QuArK + which means WorldCraft users will lose some texture alignment data when they view it. You can get it + here + (23kb zipped).

Basically you are exporting two terrains, one is the top half of your cave, and the + other is the bottom half. In TG v3.0.0 Beta Top is equivalent to Flatten Bottom and + [i]Bottom[.i] is equivalent to Flatten Top.

+ Hey nem,
+ folder
+
+ Since you are apparently well versed in the ways of map making, I was wondering what you considered as + the pros and cons of the various map making tools (Hammer vs. Worldcraft vs. QuArK)
+
+ I currently am trying to learn Hammer, but when I export your files to hammer .rmf format, they lose all + their textures and the water disappears.
+
+ Also, is it easier for half-life to run a map made with a room cut out of a series of large triangles + (as exported by your terrain editor) or as a set of walls?
+
+ any kind of general tips would be meditated upon daily.
+
+ Thanks in advance, Zoltan (n00b local chapter 133)
+

6. NemModified: Aug 6th, 2006 - 6:59:05 pm +

I'm not going to go into the pros and cons of the various editors because in the end + they are all capable of the same thing; it's just a matter of preference.
+
+ You shouldn't be losing your texture information when you open the .rmf files TG creates in Hammer. You + do however need the same .wad files you use in TG to be open in Hammer.
+
+ TG exports triangles because it simplifies the whole process (triangles must be planar). Do not go + splitting your walls up into triangles, it will produce more polygons then necessary and confuse + CSG.

8. NemPosted: Apr 29th, 2004 - 7:28:51 pm +

+ The cave should be hollow if you set the exportation options correctly. TG 3.0.0 supports the same + options.

It depends on the editor you are using, but usually if you open both in separate + windows, you can copy from one window to the other.

hay, I have been using TG for a while now and i was wondering if you where going to + make another version or up date the current... if so could i recomend putting in a "invers terrain" that + works in the same way as the "invers locked points"
+
+ BTW TG is freaking awsome

I've been meaning to rewrite it using Crafty's engine, however, it will have to wait + until Crafty is done. I don't mean to abandon TG, I just have so many other projects that it's hard to + keep them all alive at the same time.
+
+ Just an idea, but if you have a section of terrain that you'd like to invert, you could lock the rest of + the terrain, then scale that section by -1.

hi nem,
how do implement your string type? Is it in a library or #include + somewhere already?
I did typedef char* string; and my prog compiled but I suspect that isn't how it + is supposed to be done.
When you say "An int followed by an ASCII char array, no null terminator." + do you mean the int stores the length of the char array, maybe like:
struct string
{
int + length;
char[] txt;
+ };
+
+ Thx for your help
+

+
+
+
2. NemPosted: Jul 18th, 2007 - 2:12:12 pm +
+
+
They'd appear as the struct you declared in the file, but they're variable length, so + you can't read them directly as a struct. This should work:

+
Code:
+
int iLength = 0;
fread(&iLength, sizeof(int), 1, pFile);
char *lpString = + new char[iLength + 1];
fread(lpString, sizeof(char), iLength, pFile);
lpString[iLength] = '\0'; +
+
+

hey nem, i got another question:
+ i was reading the texture area of a file and there seems to be a lot more TGFace items than i thought. I + was assuming that there were 2 TGFace items in the array for every square created by the grid of points. + I kept reading more and more than that trying to find the end of the file and there was way more than I + expected. Thanks for your help.
+

+
+

5. NemPosted: Jul 19th, 2007 - 6:47:18 pm +
+

Not sure if you're asking a question, but to clarify, there are Header300.XSize * + Header300.YSize vertices and (Header300.XSize - 1) * (Header300.YSize - 1) faces. If you only want the + height data, then you only need to read the first vertex section, if you want the texture data, you have + to read the second face section. To interpret the second section, think of the terrain consisting of + strips of quads; there is one face per quad.
+

+
+
+
6. tonfPosted: Jul 19th, 2007 - 7:33:47 pm +
+
+
here's the code when i assumed the faces were triangles, 2 per quad, which is twice + as many as what you are saying:

[code]
int numtriangles = 2 * (m_Header->XSize-1) * + (m_Header->YSize-1);
m_Faces = new TGFace[numtriangles];
for (i=0; i < numtriangles; + i++)
{
fread(&iStrLength, sizeof(int), 1, pFile);
m_Faces[i].Texture.length = + iStrLength;
m_Faces[i].Texture.txt = new char[iStrLength];
fread(&m_Faces[i].Texture.txt, + sizeof(char), iStrLength, pFile);
//m_Faces[i].Texture.txt[iStrLength+1] = "\0";
+ fread(&m_Faces[i].Shift, sizeof(Vertex2f), 1, pFile);
fread(&m_Faces[i].Scale, + sizeof(Vertex2f), 1, pFile);
fread(&m_Faces[i].Rotation, sizeof(float), 1, pFile);
printf + ("%f %f\n",m_Faces[i].Rotation,m_Faces[i].Rotation);
printf ("%s\n",m_Faces[i].Texture.txt);
+ }
printf ("%d %d",numverts, i);
[/code]
+ I'm testing with a 121 point (11 x 11) file, and the value of "i" at the end prints 200.
+
+ I should have definitely faulted or reached EOF, but it doesn't. I even went higher than numtriangles + iterations, and it still didn't fault.
+
+ This code is from right after reading the vertex info which i verified was read correctly and + completely.
+ The values printed by the printf for Shift,Scale, and Rotation are all zero's (as opposed to random + garbage).
+ The texture printf prints a blank.
+
+ Also, i never assigned a texture to my test file (or even loaded a wad)., which may have something to do + with it.
+
+ I'm basically confused how come the file seems to be so much bigger than it should be.
+
+ thanks
+

sorry for the hassle, i just discovered that you can read past the end of the file + and not throw an exception. Very un c/c++ like. Twas like you said of course.
+
+ This may have been discussed elsewhere on the site, but does TG have the ability to increase/decrease + number of points while keeping height info intact? And also, can TG clip parts of a terrain (and/or + paste or save them somewhere)?
+
+ I played with TG a little, but not completely and i didn't see anything like this.
+
+
+

8. NemPosted: Jul 21st, 2007 - 8:09:58 pm +

Each quad (pair of triangles) has one face, so you're reading in twice as many faces + as you need to.
+
+ You cannot adjust the number of vertices per axis after you've created your terrain in TG. I'm not sure + what you mean by clipping the terrain.
+

i wrote a console program which does things to the terrain files. Here's the README. + Let me know if you want it posted here and/or if you want the code posted here. The repointing part + isn't perfect, but it's not bad.

here's the readme:
+
readme:
+

This program splits, scales, and/or adds/subtracts points from files created by + Nem's excellent terrain generator.

You should back up any files you don't want modified/lost + and/or read this whole thing before you use this.

This program is written in c++ and currently + only runs properly on linux, bsd, etc but not on windows, I believe because of different + implementations of "strtok". It builds on windows, and is so close to running, but alas I got fed up + with it, and it dogged me. It needs to run on windows bad because that is where the actual terrain + generator made by Nem runs. If anybody can fix this and get it to run on windows, that would be so + freaking awesome. It should be simple for anybody familiar with processing strings in c++ (which I + ain't). The bug is in main.cpp in the function LoadConfigFile where the config file is being read to + load the commands.

Also, this program isn't super user-friendly, as in if you specify the wrong + file on the command line or don't pass in the correct number or type of parameters in the config file, + it will simply crash without telling you anything in most cases (sometimes writing a giant core dump + file, if you have core dumps turned on). So if that happens, you need to go back and scrutinize all + your spelling, number of parameters, etc.

This program is run on the command line + like:
tgmanip filename
or
tgmanip filename <configfile>

"filename" is the name + of your terrain file, and <configfile> is the name of the file that tells the program what to + do.
If the program is run without specifying a config file, the program will look for a file in the + same directory as the terrain file with the same name but with a .cfg extension instead. If it can't + find a config file to use, it won't run.
If your paths have spaces in them, use quotes.

The + commands in the config file are:
split <numbercolumns> [<numberrows>]
scale + [sections] <factor> [<scaleZ>]
repoint [sections] <factor>
scroll + <xfactor> <yfactor>
rotate <number of quarter turns in counterclockwise + direction>
join <filename1> <filename2> <vertically>

Note the special + word: sections.

"split" will split the terrain into <numbercolumns> * <numberrows> + new files (without changing the original) which are the sections of the original. If + <numberrows> is omitted, then it will be the same as <numbercolumns>.

"scale" is + pretty obvious. Pass in a number. The number 1 would keep the same scale. Negative numbers will mirror + it twice, which essentially just rotates it 180 degrees. If the parameter <scaleZ> is not 0 or + omitted, then the heights will scale, otherwise they'll remain the same.

"repoint" multiplies + the current number of quads along the x axis times <factor> to come up with the new number of + quads along the x axis while maintaining the same size terrain. So again, giving it 1 will keep it the + same. Specifying a number less than 1 will subtract information from the terrain. Working with + rectangular (as opposed to perfectly square) grids can possibly result in a loss of information (a + strip across the top of the grid) if the resulting new quad size doesn't divide perfectly into the + overall height (y axis) of the grid.
The algorithm for figuring out the z values of the new points + isn't very sophisticated (ie doesn't use calculus) or psychic (not sure if calculus would help), it + only looks good if you repoint by a factor of 2 at a time. See below for good workaround. If somebody + can figure this out, that would be awesome.

"scroll" will scroll the terrain by <xfactor> + along the x axis and by <yfactor> along the y axis. A factor of 1 makes it scroll all the way + around and end up where it began, essentially doing nothing, which is what should be done (instead of + specifying 0) if you don't want it scrolled any in that particular direction.

"rotate" will + rotate the terrain by 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction for every quarter turn + specified.

"join" takes 2 terrain files and joins them together into 1 terrain file. If + <vertically> is 0, the terrains will be joined side by side, otherwise they will be one above + the other (along the y axis). The resulting file does not have to exist beforehand and will be named + the same as the config file except with a .tgm extension. See below.


If you put the word + "sections" after a command, it does the command to all the sections (without modifying the original). + Otherwise it will modify the original.
There must already be a "split" command before specifying + "sections" in any commands. Also, the program doesn't support recursively splitting sections (unless + you manually run it again).

Examples for a config file:
+
Code:
+

# pound sign is for comments in the config file

# simply add more detail + to the original -
# Doing a repoint to add more detail with any value other than 2 makes it look + wacked,
# so if you want more detail than twice as much (like 4 times as much), simply call
# + "repoint 2" twice
repoint 2
repoint 2

# split the file into 16 new files, scale them all + out to be bigger without scaling the height, add lots more detail to all of them
split 4 4
scale + sections 2 0
repoint sections 2
repoint sections 2
repoint sections 2

# split a + terrain across the center horizontally into 2 pieces
split 1 2

# scroll a terrain 30% to the + right, but not at all up and down
scroll .3 1

# scroll all the newly made sections 50% in + both axes (don't know why you would want this)
scroll sections .5 .5

# rotate a terrain 270 + degrees (3 quarter turns to the left)
rotate 3

# join 2 files side by side
join + foothills.tgm bigassmountain.tgm 0

# or vertically
join foothills.tgm bigassmountain.tgm + 1

# the resulting terrain file will be named the same as the config file (with a .tgm + extension) that
# the join command is in even if the terrain file doesn't exist yet. So you would + make for example a config
# file named "joined.cfg" and on the command line say:
# tgmanip + joined.tgm
# even though the file "joined.tgm" doesn't exist yet.

thx for fixing my ignorant formatting. I'll try to find a place to post this program + for download if you don't want to host it. If you do, that would be great, but i can probably find a + place in a few days or so. If you want some of the code to incorporate into TG lemme know and i'll + post/send it. I'm probably going to add some more functions like scrolling and concatenating soon + too.
+ BTW im doing all this so i can more easily make a planet, in case you're wondering why any of this is + useful.

Yeah i know how the "haven't had much of a chance" thing goes. I'm surprised I + managed to get as far as I did.
+
+ There is a problem with my program. I developed it on linux, where it works fine, but the part that + parses the config file for instructions is broken on the windows build due to (I strongly suspect) + different implementations of the function "strtok" between the windows version of c++ and the linux + version. String manipulating/parsing in c++ for me is a frustrating bitch.
+
+ I tried to tweak it so it wouldn't seg fault on the windows build, but I started pulling my hair out + real soon so i said "fuggit". I'll probably retry soon though because I'm kind of getting tired of + transferring giant files all the time.
+
+ I've added scrolling, but got sidetracked from adding concatenating and rotating, so here's what I might + can do:
+ I can post everything I have somewhere, work on rotating and concatenating, and maybe some helpful soul + in the meantime will fix the string parsing thing on windows.

It's at:
http://planet.insteadofwork.com
+
+ Feel free to use whatever code you want if you find it useful.
+
+ I'm adding concatenating files and rotating soon.
+
+ BTW the archives contain the source code, linux binary, and a visual studio .vcproj file and a README + file.

yo hang on making that more public yet. Textures were broken, but now they're fixed, + and all I've got left now is rotate

virtuAMP + FAQ - NemPosted: Jul 4th, 2007 - 3:13:10 pm +
+
+
+
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I connect my guitar to my computer?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

There are two cheap solutions to this question:

+
    +
  1. Obtain a 1/4" (6.35 mm) mono to 1/8" (3.5 mm) mono adapter. Such adapters are available + at most good audio/video stores. A stereo adapter should also do the job. You should then + be able to connect a standard 1/4" guitar cable into the 1/8" line-in or microphone input + on your computer. Play as usual using either headphones or speakers.
    2. +
  2. Obtain a microphone and a set of headphones, connect your microphone to your computer's + microphone input and your headphones to your computer's headphone output. Play into your + microphone.
    3. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Why do my speakers pop when I play my guitar through virtuAMP?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Your computer isn't able to process audio buffers fast enough before receiving the next + audio buffer. This is usually caused by a slow CPU or cheap sound card. You can mitigate the + effect by trying any combination of the following three settings:

+
    +
  1. Audio Driver: Try switching between the Windows Multimedia and DirectSound audio + drivers. The DirectSound audio driver should provide better priority for audio processing, + but requires Windows XP and up.
    2. +
  2. Audio Buffer Denominator: Try increasing the delay between audio buffer capture and + playback by decreasing the audio buffer denominator setting one step at a time. Allow a + few seconds to determine effectiveness.
    3. +
  3. Audio Buffer FPS: Try decreasing the display frame rate by decreasing the audio buffer + FPS setting. This will provide more CPU time for audio processing.
    4. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I connect foot pedals to virtuAMP?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP does not support foot pedals, but you can use your keyboard to toggle effects on + and off. To add a shortcut:

+
    +
  1. Select an effect.
    2. +
  2. While holding the shift key, press the button you wish to use to toggle the effect (you + can assign the same key to multiple effects).
    3. +
  3. The name of the key you selected should appear in the status bar at the bottom of your + screen.
    4. +
  4. Repeat 1-3 for each effect you with to add a shortcut to.
    5. +
+

To remove a shortcut:

+
    +
  1. Select an effect.
    2. +
  2. While holding the shift key, press delete.
    3. +
  3. Repeat 1-2 for each effect you with to remove a shortcut from.
    4. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Why can't the Player/Recorder effect play my .wav file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP only supports 8 or 16 bit PCM, and 32 bit or 64 bit IEEE floating point .wav files + sampled at 44100 Hz.

+

You may use Audacity + to convert your .wav files to an accepted format.

+

You may also encounter problems if the .wav file is opened in another program, or by + virtuAMP for recording. Check the log.txt file in your installation folder for detailed + error messages.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I improve my sound quality?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP is not meant to be a replacement for real guitar amplifiers or professional studio + equipment. Having said that, there are many factors that will affect the quality of sound + virtuAMP can produce. Your audio card and speakers are probably the most important factors + (most computers come with a cheap on-board sound card), and a slow CPU can lead to audible + popping as audio buffers aren't processed before they are needed. Upgrading any of these + things may lead to a better overall sound.
