Set up WC3.3 and quakeadapter - maps compile - map in game has no textures!

[biffsnot]

I hope someone can help me. I installed WorldCraft 3.3 to c:\program files\worldcraft, installed the QuakeAdapter properly AND set up WC to all the dirs! It compiles fine and runs the darkspaces engine with my map NP at all! But, while compiling the only bad message is "WARNING: No valid wadfiles in worldmodel" and the map has no textures.

As I said its all set up compiles and runs, WADs are in the wads dir, but file->run compiles and then I get no textures. My darkspaces directory is on the e: drive tho so maybe thats a prob? Please help someone lol

Typically, if I'm correct, it means the textures were not found by the map compiler.

Make sure the WAD file in question existing in HLWAD format in C:\program files\Worldcraft\textures

Was the map ...

#1 developed from scratch using WC 3.3 or

#2 did you pull in a map created in another editor?

If #1 ....

Do the textures show up while using Worldcraft 3.3?

If #2 ....

Make sure that there is a corresponding WAD converted to HLWAD format.

If you need more help, keep posting and we'll get this figured out. This problem occurred for me once and it was a simple oversight I made.

It means that you haven't specified wads to use.

K thanks for the reply, sorry that I didnt reply sooner it was late night when I posted and I went to bed.

It is a fresh install of WC3.3 and I right away installed the QuakeAdapter. So the Wads are HLWAD converted already, the installer took care of that I guess.

This is a new map from scratch basically a large hollow box with a player start and a light just to test lol.

The textures do show in WC3.3 and I have corectly applied them to the floor walls and ceiling in the room. And the settings apear to be right, the tools are all in c:\program files\worldcraft\quaketools the game is in e:\games\darkspaces\ and the maps go to e:\games\darkspaces\id1\maps\



Any other ideas?

oh and here is a bit of message from the compile window -

You have to specify the wadfile(s) to use in worldspawn, eg
"wad" "quake.wad"

biffsnot, can you post the entire compile log from the "Process Window"?

Highlight all of the text in the WC3.3 Process Window and right click and then click copy, and then do a CTRL-V in a reply box.

Ok, moved my darkplaces directory to c:\darkspaces and changed the WC3.3 configs to reflect that and now it compiles with textures. Thank you all for your help I dont know why it would give me a prob for such a simple thing lol. Must be due to the way WC3.3 has to be hacked to work with quake well.

[Baker]

I don't have multiple drives to test it on, but that makes a lot of sense.

All versions of Worldcraft including 1.6a and 3.3 use basically a batch file process to execute the compile, so this behavior isn't anything unique to use with the QuakeAdapter.

I'm glad it works now. :d
